Not all EORs are built the same

Most providers resell a chain of partners. We run the chain ourselves. Here is what that changes for your team, your costs and your risk.

Thriver vs global EOR platforms

	Thriver	Global EOR platforms
Who employs your team in Mexico	Our own REPSE-registered employer, run by our team	Their own entity or an in-country partner, depending on the country
Who runs payroll and legal	Our in-house payroll and labor law teams in Mexico	A central platform, often backed by local partners
Employer of Record fee	$499 per employee per month	Commonly $599 to $699 per employee per month
Exchange rates	Market rate on the payment date. 0% margin	A currency spread can be built into the rate
Employment structure	Designed per role by our legal and tax team, within the law	One standard model per country
Support	A named HR partner who knows your team	Ticket-based support that varies by plan
Where they are strongest	Mexico, with Contractor of Record in 12 LATAM countries	Breadth: many countries on one dashboard

Three ways to build a team abroad. The difference is who the legal employer is.

Thriver is the legal employer. You need no entity. Full statutory benefits.

$499 per employee per month

Your own entity is the employer. We run payroll, taxes and contributions for it in local currency.

Independent professionals, engaged and paid compliantly, with a monthly tax compliance review.
