Pricing questions

Can't find your answer? Talk to sales

Is there a minimum number of contractors or employees?

No. Start with a single contractor or employee and grow from there, subject to country, worker type and service availability.

When are contractor fees charged?

The $19 Contractor fee is charged only in months you pay that contractor. If you don't pay a contractor in a given month, there's no fee for them that month, and there are no minimums. Contractor of Record billing is confirmed in your quote.

How does Contractor of Record work, and what does it cost?

With Contractor of Record, PIO contracts directly with your contractor to reduce contract-administration and worker-misclassification risk. It costs $149 per contractor per month and replaces the $19 Contractor fee, so you pay one fee per contractor, not both. Talk to sales to get started.

How much does EOR cost in a specific country?

The PIO EOR fee starts at $299 per employee per month, and the fee for each country is confirmed in your quote. Salary and employer costs such as social contributions, taxes and benefits are separate. You can estimate them with the Cost Estimator.

Do PIO prices include salaries or contractor payments?

No. PIO fees are separate from what you pay your people: contractor payments, salaries and employer costs such as social contributions, taxes and benefits.

Do you offer annual or volume pricing?

Contact sales about annual pricing for contractors. Annual pricing doesn't apply to Contractor of Record. Contact sales for a volume quote on EOR.

Which currencies can I pay in?

Published prices are in US dollars. PIO invoices can be paid in US dollars and other supported currencies; talk to sales to confirm the options for your account.

What's the difference between a contractor and an employee?

Contractors generally provide services under a commercial agreement and have more control over how work is performed. Employees generally work under the employer's direction and receive statutory employment protections. Classification depends on the actual working relationship and local law, not the contract label alone.

Is Foundire billed with my PIO plan?

No. Foundire is billed separately on foundire.com, monthly or yearly. Each Pro plan includes a monthly allowance of interview credits (1 credit = 1 minute of AI interview) and resume parses. Foundire also offers a Free plan and custom Enterprise plans.

Start with one contractor or employee
