How the Suite Score works
Seven weighted categories, scored the same way for every platform. Compliance and coverage carry the most weight because they carry the most risk.
| Category | Weight | What we grade |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance & Legal Protection | 20 | Owned entities vs. partner networks, local contract quality, misclassification and IP protection |
| Global Coverage | 20 | Country count and depth in the markets where companies actually hire |
| Pricing & Total Cost | 15 | Pricing transparency, setup fees, minimums, and FX markups |
| Payroll & Payments | 15 | Supported currencies, payout speed, and payroll accuracy |
| Contractor Management | 10 | Onboarding, invoicing, and payment options for contractors |
| Product & Integrations | 10 | Ease of use and connections to HRIS and accounting tools |
| Support & Onboarding | 10 | Time to first hire and access to real support |
Why our scores hold up
A scorecard is only useful if you can trust how it was built.
One rubric for everyone
Every platform is graded on the same seven categories and weights. No custom scoring for favorites.
Compliance comes first
A slick dashboard means nothing if the employment contract will not hold up locally. Legal protection is weighted highest.
Total cost, not headline price
We account for setup fees, minimums, and currency markups wherever platforms disclose them.
Transparent about money
Some links earn us a commission. Commissions never change a score or a ranking.
Common questions
What is an employer of record?
An employer of record (EOR) legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you do not have a local entity. It handles local contracts, payroll, taxes, and benefits while you direct the day-to-day work.
