Useful comparisons.
Visible evidence.
A cost-led guide to choosing an employer of record in Germany, with the limits of the evidence made clear.
How this comparison works
The initial shortlist contains ten providers named in the supplied reference brief. Germany-specific service pages, coverage statements and current pricing pages were reviewed on 30 September 2026. Inclusion is not a certification, licence audit or endorsement of suitability for every hire.
We distinguish provider-published statements from editorial buying prompts. Prices retain their original currency and conditions. Unknown fees remain unknown. The default comparison order places Teamed second as an editorial placement; fee sorting considers only the amounts verified in this review and is not a total-cost ranking.
How to read the scores
The category values and supplied totals are transcribed from the published Best EOR UK comparison, viewed on 30 September 2026. They describe provider-wide assessments, not German service tests. We have not independently audited the underlying workbook or recalculated its totals. Remote People has only cost and total values in its published profile, so the remaining categories are marked unavailable.
The default editorial order places Remote first and Teamed second, as requested for this site. It is not a calculated ranking. Sorting by a score reorders by the published value, with missing values last. No scores have been altered to produce the default order.
Teamed: updated evidence
Teamed’s positioning was reviewed on 8 October 2026 against EOR Shortlist, The EOR Index’s September edition and Teamed’s current pricing. The current primary source advertises a starting fee of $599, zero FX markup and $0 setup and client exit fees, superseding the older price and early-exit exception recorded in the September Shortlist review.
The EOR Index’s 4.5/5 result is a separate monthly review-text sentiment measure based on 20 public reviews. Its second-place ranking uses review volume to break ties. It is not mixed into the workbook comparison above. Both sources describe global evidence, not a Germany-specific service trial. Our Teamed recommendation is an editorial judgement based on these published strengths.
Currency conversion
Estimated euro fees use the ECB reference rate of $1.1355 per euro dated 29 September 2026. Estimates are rounded to the nearest euro and do not include a provider’s FX margin. They are not contracted EUR prices. View the rate source.
