Skuad review
A value-focused EOR platform for hiring employees and contractors across 160+ countries.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Skuad is an employer of record and global workforce management platform for companies hiring employees and contractors internationally. It supports EOR hiring in 160+ countries, localized employment agreements, onboarding, payroll, tax and statutory-payment handling, benefits administration, compliance management, expenses, time off, and contractor payments. Teams hiring both employees and contractors can manage these worker types through related plans, while visa and work-permit support extends the platform beyond core payroll administration.
The pricing structure separates employee employment, contractor compliance, and contractor administration. The Employer of Record plan costs $199 per employee per month and includes local employment agreements, payroll processing in 70+ currencies, labor law and tax compliance, benefits administration options, dedicated account managers, and third-party integrations. Agent of Record costs $99 per contractor per month and adds contract support, contractor onboarding, compliant payments in 70+ currencies, and misclassification-risk support. The Contractor Management System costs $19 per contractor per month and covers payments, invoice tracking, expense workflows, payment history, integrations, and mobile app access. There is no free plan.
Skuad’s breadth suits global teams that need more than payroll: country-specific benefits packages, reimbursements, timesheets, expenses, visa services, work-permit support, equipment facilitation, and HR, accounting, and time-tracking integrations are part of the offering. Listed integrations include ADP Run, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, and 7shifts. The platform is web-based, so teams seeking a broader native platform mix may need to assess fit carefully. Choose Skuad when international coverage, core compliance services, and a lower EOR entry price matter. Choose an alternative when a free plan, a wider listed integration ecosystem, or a non-web platform is essential.
