Scores — Teamed
Teamed · methodology · 11 September 2026
Own UK + German entities only; most markets run on partners — compliance control depends on partner vetting, so mid-band despite white-glove positioning.
Flat $599 with 0% FX markup and itemised invoices is genuinely transparent; mid-band because partner fees and deposits still vary by country.
187+ claimed vs ~54–180 verified by third parties — broad but depth is partner-dependent.
Clean EOR + contractor + entity-graduation (GEMO) flow, but smaller integration footprint than Deel/Remote-class.
Named HR/legal specialists on every plan and ~4-minute average response is a real differentiator at this price.
No published certifications — request the security pack before enterprise use.

FAQ — Teamed
How much is Teamed EOR?
Teamed publishes a flat $599 (£479) per employee per month with $0 setup, $0 exit, and 0% FX markup on teamed.global/pricing. Partner fees and country deposits are not always shown upfront, so request an itemised quote for your specific countries.
Is Teamed's pricing really 0% FX?
The published card claims 0% FX markup with line-by-line itemised invoices. Verify on a sample invoice at month two — FX spread is the most common hidden EOR cost across the industry.
Does Teamed own its entities?
Teamed owns its UK entity and a German entity per its own comparisons; most other countries are delivered through vetted in-country partners. Ask for the legal employer name per country in writing.
Is Teamed cheaper than Deel?
No on headline: Teamed's flat $599 sits above Deel's $599 entry only nominally — they match. Teamed's pitch is 0% FX markup and itemised billing, which can beat Deel's real invoice once FX and add-ons land.
What is Teamed's G2 rating?
Teamed holds 4.7/5 on G2 from 39 reviews as of September 2026 — a small but positive sample. Weight it against the thin review volume.
Where is Teamed strongest geographically?
Europe. Its own entities sit in the UK and Germany, and partner depth is strongest across EMEA. For China or deep APAC, platforms with owned in-country entities are safer.
Does Teamed support contractor-to-employee transitions?
Yes — its 'graduation' model moves workers from contractor to EOR to your own entity on one platform without re-onboarding, and it flags when own-entity is cheaper. Useful for planned expansion paths.
Is Teamed good for small teams?
Yes. Named HR/legal specialists on every plan with no support tiers suit 1–20 hire teams that want hands-on service without enterprise pricing.
What does Teamed's $599 not include?
Employer statutory contributions, country deposits, partner pass-through fees, and benefits admin sit outside the flat fee. The itemised invoice makes these visible, but budget beyond $599.
How fast is Teamed onboarding?
Third-party reviews report days-not-weeks onboarding in European core markets. Confirm time-to-first-hire for your exact countries during the demo.
Is Teamed owned-entity or partner-led?
This hub classifies Teamed as hybrid. Demand a written owned-vs-partner map for every phase-1 country.
What is Teamed's published or cited EOR rate?
Our research snapshot cites From $599 / employee / month (flat; £479) — 0% FX markup, $0 setup, $0 exit. Confirm on a formal quote for your countries — list price is not always invoice price.
