What is Gloroots?
Gloroots is a global EOR and contractor management platform that helps companies hire employees and contractors in 140+ countries. They offer Employer of Record services for full-time employees ($299/month per employee), contractor management ($29/month per contractor), global payroll, and recruitment services.
Gloroots handles local compliance, benefits, taxes, and payroll processing through their platform. They're designed for companies that need both EOR and contractor management in one solution.
The Gloroots Contractor Problem
Gloroots is a solid choice if you need EOR services for employees. But if you're only managing contractors, their per-contractor pricing ($29/month) adds up quickly. For 10 contractors, you're paying $290/month. For 20 contractors, that's $580/month.
You're also paying for EOR infrastructure you don't need. Contractors aren't employees—they don't need benefits administration, local entity setup, or payroll tax withholding. You just need a way to organize contracts, track invoices, and manage payments.
