Oyster
Distributed teams that want a global EOR with contractor support and a strong employee-experience focus.
About Oyster
Oyster is a global employment platform focused on Employer of Record hiring, contractor management and people services. It supports hiring employees in Estonia without setting up a local entity and handles contracts, payroll, local compliance and statutory employment administration.
Key strengths
- Estonia Employer of Record support
- Clear public EOR and contractor pricing
- Global hiring platform with people-services support
- Strong emphasis on distributed workforce experience
Key limitations
- EOR starts at $699 per employee per month
- Standalone payroll pricing is not presented as a simple public flat rate
- Total employment cost remains higher than the platform fee because statutory employer costs are separate
May not suit
Companies primarily shopping for low-cost standalone payroll for an existing entity.
