Pricing and coverage at a glance
One Global Payroll offers transparent pricing from $26 per employee per month. Horizons uses custom quotes. Both are competitively priced compared to larger enterprise players.
Our honest take
Horizons has built a solid global workforce platform covering 130 countries, and they have done it as a bootstrapped company, which is impressive. They offer EOR, payroll, and contractor management with a focus on keeping things straightforward.
One Global Payroll covers 150+ countries from $26 per employee per month, offering broader coverage with transparent pricing. Through our partnerships, we also offer EOR and contractor management from $360 per month. Both platforms are relatively lean and focused compared to the larger enterprise players.
The main differences come down to coverage and focus. One Global Payroll covers more countries and is built specifically for payroll processing. Horizons balances payroll with EOR and contractor management more evenly.
Our recommendation: Choose One Global Payroll if you need the broadest payroll coverage at a competitive price. Choose Horizons if you value their bootstrapped approach and their specific country coverage meets your needs.
