Papaya Global charges roughly $650 to $770 per employee per month for Employer of Record, depending on country and plan tier — a premium over the $599 that Deel has established as the market reference. That premium buys localised contracts, onboarding, payroll and compliance support bundled rather than billed separately. Papaya does not publish dedicated contractor-management pricing because contractor work is not its focus, so businesses with a large contractor population should price that line elsewhere.
