Attracting and retaining talent for your team is an extra challenge when you’re operating in new markets. Your chosen global HR partner should act as an extension of your team. If you have to wait days to get an answer, your promising hire might have moved on already.
Playroll’s legal, finance, HR and support experts are available to advise on everything from payroll and local benefits, to setting up compliant contracts. We are also flexible when it comes to amending employee contracts, with quick turnaround times compared to other EOR providers.
At Playroll, employers and employees alike have dedicated support managers available at no extra cost, to give you personalized service.
Many EOR providers charge extra for everything beyond their core service offerings, such as dedicated customer support, or to provide localized benefits packages. Often, there are also hidden fees at stake that you’ll discover only when it’s time to pay the bill. Check what’s included in their pricing, so you avoid having to pay additional service providers for the basics. Playroll has built-in compliance, dedicated support and benefits management included as part of our fixed pricing, with no hidden fees.
Your chosen EOR provider’s country coverage should be wide enough to meet your current needs, as well as any future goals to scale your business – you don’t want to be limited in where you can hire. At Playroll, we have wide global coverage of 180+ countries to help businesses scale, with a large network of wholly owned entities. We can help you compliantly hire full-time employees and contractors alike in all our supported regions.
What happens if you want to move an employee that is employed by an EOR to one of your own entities? Most EOR providers are inflexible when it comes to this, and require a ‘resign and rehire’ approach – vastly complicating your relationships with employees and risking them permanently leaving your team. At Playroll, we mean it when we say we care first and foremost about people. This includes supporting the transfer of employment arrangements to client entities.
When it comes to your sensitive data, you should be diligent to check how an EOR provider handles the set up of your employee contracts. Many EOR providers can be lax in ensuring that your IP and invention rights belong to you, especially if they mostly rely on third parties to set up employee contracts. At Playroll, we take IP protection seriously and mitigate this risk. All our clients own their IP and protection rights, with guaranteed compliant contracts.

Playroll has a strong support system, including a dedicated customer support manager for employers and employees alike, with experts on compensation, local benefits, and immigration. This ensures personalized and comprehensive support for your business and employees.
WorkMotion offers Customer Success Managers and Talent Managers, but has received negative reviews for lengthy delays in response times from their customer support teams. WorkMotion’s support mainly operates through a ticketing system, while Playroll prioritizes direct support.
With a footprint in 180+ countries and a large network of owned entities, Playroll takes care of localized payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance for your team, no matter where they are.
WorkMotion offers less coverage at 160+ countries. They mostly rely on third party partners to offer their services, whereas Playroll has a wide network of owned entities. An EOR provider that relies mostly on third-party vendors can risk the safety of your data, as information needs to be shared with a large number of third parties to provide core services. Delays in communication are also common if an EOR provider has to always liaise with third-party partners. WorkMotion mainly advertise their services to European companies, while Playroll is ready to support your business no matter the location.
When it comes to personalized customer service, Payroll wins over competitors according to G2 reviews – with a user-friendly platform that’s easy to set up. WorkMotion has received negative feedback on their unsatisfactory support with long delays in response times.

Playroll’s contractor management platform includes invoice management and payments for just $35 p/month per contractor in over 180 countries. Our platform allows contractors to easily submit invoices for approval and receive payment in their local currency.
WorkMotion does not support hiring contractors. This can hinder your ability to flexibly meet the needs of your business, and means you might have to engage multiple services to hire different types of workers.
Moving between Employer Of Record solutions is easier than you think. Playroll makes the migration a breeze.

Playroll’s global payroll management solution provides one platform to manage payroll across 180+ territories. You can automate your payroll processes, detect variances, and manage payroll across all your operating countries in one view, in your preferred currency, to improve financial visibility and control.
Playroll seamlessly integrates with your existing payroll operations, eliminating the need to transition providers at great cost. With low monthly commitments, it offers an efficient solution that significantly reduces administrative hours for HR teams, making it a cost-effective choice for global payroll management.
WorkMotion also offers a product for running global payroll, but requires a substantial upfront commitment to adopt the solution. It requires you to replace your current network of payroll providers or vendors, which can come at great costs as a business – often running into tens of thousands of dollars. It can take up to three months to onboard onto their system. This means you might have to wait a long time to start seeing a return on your investment.
Playroll is fully compliant with European GDPR rules. We have achieved the rigorous SOC2 certification, which aims to safeguard the security of client data.
WorkMotion does not have SOC2 certification. Unlike WorkMotion, Playroll is backed by 20+ years of experience in employing talent globally through the VAT IT Group.

Great service, fantastic customer support, simple and user friendly platform!
What makes Playroll great is the exceptional service you receive as a client - which is becoming increasingly rare amongst other service providers. The onboarding team made the setup process incredibly easy and the legal support we got on understanding the laws and regulations in the new territory was fantastic.

I cannot praise Playroll enough! Their exceptional services enabled me to effortlessly hire employees in three different continents.

FAQS
WorkMotion is an HR platform geared toward businesses that want to expand their operations, and require a single platform to hire and manage a global workforce. Their core offering include EOR Services or assistance with local company registration. They have additional products for global payroll and benefits administration.
Global HR Solutions have become an increasingly popular solution for businesses that want to scale their workforce without having to handle the legal and administrative burdens themselves.
There are many WorkMotion alternatives on the market, including:
Papaya Global
Papaya Global is especially well-known for its global payroll technology, which covers a broad range of countries. However, Papaya Global relies entirely on third party partners as part of many of its services, including its EOR service.
Oyster HR
Oyster HR is known for its user-friendly platform that makes it easy to onboard employees or contractors. However, their customer support can be slow. They are priced at the upper range of the market for their services.
Playroll
Playroll is best-known for its Employer of Record and Contractor Management solutions, and excels in its customer support, competitive pricing and built-in compliance.
WorkMotion’s EOR services are priced at the upper end of the market, they only support hiring full-time employees, and their services are mainly aimed at European companies.
You might need an alternative if you are looking for a comprehensive global HR solution that allows you to hire both employees and contractors with ease. High fees per hire will quickly add up if you’re hiring at scale. If you’re planning many international hires, an EOR partner with more affordable basic services could be a better fit.
WorkMotion and Playroll both offer Employer of Record solutions, and supplementary services such as benefits management.
One of the main differences between WorkMotion and Playroll is the price tag when it comes to EOR Services. Playroll starts from €359/month per employee, whereas WorkMotion ranges between €549 - €649 p/month per employee, with their most affordable pricing only accessible if you onboard more than 30 hires. Unlike Playroll, WorkMotion also charges an onboarding fee of €499. This difference in cost can quickly add up when building a team at scale. Unlike Playroll, WorkMotion doesn’t have a contractor management solution.
Another difference lies in how WorkMotion and Playroll operate in their supported regions. Playroll has a large network of wholly owned entities, whilst WorkMotion is largely reliant on third party partners. This means you could face delays in communication while waiting for feedback from third parties, and the risk of extra fees increases. WorkMotion has received negative reviews of slow service from their support team, while Playroll is lauded for the quality of its customer service and fast response times.
Each Playroll customer has dedicated support so you can hit the ground running.
