Native Teams is one of the more transparently-priced EORs in the market. Unlike Deel, Remote, or Papaya Global (all of which gate pricing behind sales conversations for anything beyond a starting rate), Native Teams publishes specific tier pricing and country-specific fees on its site. That clarity is welcome. It also means you can model your real all-in cost without a sales call. Here's the breakdown.
Native Teams Pricing Overview
As of 2026, Native Teams publishes the following tiers:
- Employee Hub (free for the talent): Free for individual workers managing their own employment, payments, and tax optimization.
- Contractor Management: Starting at €19 (around $21) per contractor per month. Covers contractor onboarding, contracts, and invoicing.
- Employer of Record (EOR): Starting at €79 (around $85) per employee per month for the Native Teams platform fee, plus country-specific statutory employer on-costs.
- Payroll-only services: Quote-based, for companies running payroll on their own entities in Native Teams' supported countries.
- Custom enterprise tier: For larger workforces, with negotiated pricing and dedicated account management.
On top of the platform fee, expect:
- Country-specific employer on-costs: Statutory taxes, mandatory benefits, social security contributions, 13th-month pay where applicable.
- FX and payment processing: Cross-currency funding adds spread; international wires carry per-transaction fees.
- Add-ons: Equity management, immigration support, and specialized services priced separately.
Hidden Costs to Watch Out For
Country-specific employer on-costs
The €79 EOR fee is just the Native Teams platform margin. The real all-in cost includes statutory employer taxes and benefits. In Brazil, on-costs can add 60% to 70% on top of gross salary. In Mexico, around 30% to 35%. In Argentina, around 45%. In most of Europe, 25% to 40% depending on country.
Currency fluctuation
Native Teams prices in EUR. If you fund payroll in USD, FX spreads apply on every payment cycle. Over a year, this can be 1% to 3% of total payroll depending on rates and bank rails.
Country-specific Native Teams pricing variations
The €79 starting fee is the floor. For some countries, Native Teams charges higher per-employee fees due to local entity costs or compliance complexity. Confirm country-specific rates before committing.
Setup or onboarding fees
Some markets require entity onboarding work that Native Teams charges as a one-time fee, particularly for the first hire in a new country.
Add-ons
Equity, immigration support, and benefits administration are typically separate. Real all-in cost depends on which modules you turn on.
What You'd Really Pay on Native Teams
Scenario A: Hiring a Senior Engineer in Mexico via EOR
Assume a senior engineer at $80,000 USD gross annual salary, hired through Native Teams EOR.
- Gross salary: $6,667 per month
- Native Teams EOR fee: ~$85 per month
- Mexican statutory employer on-costs: ~32% of gross, or $2,134 per month
- Estimated all-in monthly cost: Approximately $8,886 per month
Compared to Deel's $599 starting EOR fee for the same role, Native Teams saves you about $500 per month in platform margin. Over a year, that's $6,000 in savings on a single hire.
Scenario B: Hiring 10 Contractors Across LatAm
Assume 10 senior contractors at $50/hour, 160 hours/month each, hired through Native Teams Contractor Management.
- Contractor compensation: 10 × $8,000 = $80,000 per month
- Native Teams contractor fee: 10 × $21 = $210 per month
- Estimated platform overhead: $210 per month, or 0.26% of total spend
This is one of the cheapest contractor management options in the market. Compare to Deel's $49/contractor/month ($490 for 10 contractors) or Multiplier's similar pricing.
Scenario C: Multi-Country Team via EOR
Assume a 15-person team across Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia.
- Native Teams platform fees: 15 × ~$85 = $1,275 per month
- Country-specific on-costs: Variable, generally 30% to 70% on top of gross compensation
- Annual Native Teams platform margin: $15,300 across the team
For a 15-person multi-country team, Native Teams is materially cheaper than Deel ($107,820 annually for the same team at $599/employee/month).
Advantages of Hiring on Native Teams
Transparent published pricing
Most EOR competitors gate pricing behind sales calls. Native Teams publishes specific numbers, which lets you model cost without a sales process.
Lower platform margin than top-tier competitors
For employers running tight budgets, the platform-fee gap to Deel or Remote is real money over time.
Decent country coverage for the price
85 countries covers most of the major hiring markets. Less than Deel (100+), but more than budget players like RemoFirst.
Tax optimization features
Native Teams emphasizes tax-efficient structures for both employer and talent more than most competitors. Useful for talent in specific jurisdictions.
Talent-side product is solid
Native Teams' Employee Hub is free for the talent and offers actual usability for the worker, not just the employer.
Disadvantages of Hiring on Native Teams
Smaller team than top-tier competitors
Compared to Deel or Remote, Native Teams is a fraction of the size. Compliance depth and product velocity are correspondingly lighter.
EUR pricing introduces FX exposure
If you're a USD-based company, Native Teams' EUR-denominated pricing creates a small but recurring FX exposure on every payroll cycle.
Country coverage gaps
For niche markets (parts of Africa, Central Asia), Native Teams may not have coverage. Deel and Remote are more likely to.
Lighter analytics and reporting
For multi-country workforce intelligence and consolidated reporting, Papaya Global and Deel are stronger.
Brand recognition is lower
Less familiar to procurement and finance teams than the top-tier names. May add friction in larger-company purchase processes.
Transparent Pricing: South vs. Native Teams
Native Teams is a credible EOR for global hiring, especially at small to mid-size scale. If your hiring is concentrated in Latin America, the math gets more interesting against a region-focused partner.
South's model is different from Native Teams in three ways:
- Recruiting is included. South sources, vets, and matches candidates to your role. Native Teams doesn't recruit.
- Flat monthly placement fee, not per-seat. Our fee structure doesn't scale linearly with headcount.
- No FX exposure on platform fees. We invoice in USD with talent compensation transparent and separate.
For LatAm-concentrated hiring, the all-in cost through South typically lands at parity or slightly below Native Teams once you factor in the recruiting work you'd otherwise do yourself.
The Takeaway
Native Teams is one of the more transparent and cost-effective EORs in the market for global hiring at small to mid-size scale. The published pricing is real, the product is functional, and the talent-side experience is better than average.
For LatAm-only hiring, a region-focused partner is usually the better economic and operational fit. For multi-region hiring under 50 employees, Native Teams is a credible choice.
