EOR Cost & Risk Benchmark
A SaaS platform that helps SMBs reduce international employment overhead by mapping each worker to the lowest-complexity legal engagement model (EOR vs local payroll partner vs contractor) and then running a structured vendor + country feasibility comparison with total landed costs and operational risk scoring. It doesn’t replace EOR providers; it standardizes the evaluation, migration checklist, and ongoing monitoring so teams can switch away from overpriced EOR plans without breaking payroll.

EOR Cost & Risk Benchmark
A SaaS platform that helps SMBs reduce international employment overhead by mapping each worker to the lowest-complexity legal engagement model (EOR vs local payroll partner vs contractor) and then running a structured vendor + country feasibility comparison with total landed costs and operational risk scoring. It doesn’t replace EOR providers; it standardizes the evaluation, migration checklist, and ongoing monitoring so teams can switch away from overpriced EOR plans without breaking payroll.
Target customer
SMBs (10–300 employees) with 1–25 international hires who currently use premium EORs (e.g., Deel) and are price-sensitive but still need reliable payroll and basic compliance coverage.
Problem-solution fit
The user’s core issue is recurring high monthly EOR spend ($599/employee/month) plus slow support, creating both cost pressure and payment risk. This product directly targets that by quantifying alternative setups per country, producing an actionable migration plan, and maintaining a payroll-breakage early warning checklist so teams can reduce spend without increasing operational incidents.
