Every number on the Rivermate pricing page.
Per employee or contractor per month unless stated. 'Hire full-time employees in 180+ countries'. Myanmar is not in Rivermate's country guides, which list Laos and Cambodia, and rivermate.com/guides/myanmar returns 404 (read 2026-09-24), so Myanmar is marked not available.

Who Rivermate fits, and who it does not.
Both sentences are built from the terms printed on the pricing page, not from opinions about the service.
- Choose Rivermate if
- you want a second low quote to negotiate against and you hire expats as well as locals: the printed price starts at $349, the second-lowest floor tracked here, and the page names expat versus local hire as a pricing factor.
- Look elsewhere if
- you need the number before the call: the page prints a $349 starting price with no upper bound, and neither the billing period nor the deposit policy is printed. Oyster prints one flat price; RemoFirst starts lower at $199.
The pricing page, in its own words
Employer of Record ‘From $349 per employee/month. Pricing may vary by country, headcount, project, and expat vs local hire.’ Contractor of record from $149 per contractor per month. ‘Hire full-time employees in 180+ countries.’ Read on 3 November 2026.
What the page does not say
The billing period and the deposit policy are not stated, and no FX rule is published. The engine on this site prices Rivermate at the $349 floor, so every total on this page is a minimum, and the page publishes no upper bound for the country quote.
The fee in the whole hire
At the floor the fee is 12% of a $2,943 monthly invoice in India at $30,000 and 4% of $7,990 in Germany at $75,000. The best EOR for startups ranking places Rivermate second on the all-in total, after RemoFirst.
