In-depth comparison
Make an informed choice for your global expansion. We compared G-P EOR vs. Rippling across five core aspects.
Compliance and risk mitigation
You need an EOR with an ironclad compliance strategy. G-P has a 100% pass rate for reviews, audits, and investigations. We have AI-powered technology and human experts working behind the scenes to ensure compliance. Our in-house team includes hundreds of employment experts, from HR professionals to tax specialists and attorneys. And our GCE is an always-on system that ensures every contract, payroll, and benefit is automatically compliant with local regulations.
Our extensive expertise and industry tenure make us the industry's most experienced EOR provider.
Rippling's core strategy centers on HR and IT. The company is expanding to cover all aspects of employee data, from benefits to devices. Its extensive automation capabilities extend to many compliance-related tasks, such as payroll filing, benefits enrollment, and state tax registrations.
Global scalability
The best EOR gets you where you want to grow without limiting your choices. Our worldwide entity infrastructure makes hiring international employees quick, simple, and compliant.
With G-P, you gain access to over 180 countries and can start hiring in minutes. That means fast scaling, streamlined onboarding, payroll, and tax simplicity in every corner of the world.
Rippling's capabilities for your global expansion are more limited. The company's EOR is only available in 80 countries, though it supports independent contractors in 185.
 Pricing model and transparency
Successful global expansion requires balancing investment and potential. Understanding the costs is key to making smart business decisions.
G-P supports that goal with transparent pricing. We offer flat-rate pricing per employee. You'll know upfront what charges you'll incur to promote effective budgeting.
With Rippling, you'll pay a base charge per employee. Each module you need increases the cost per individual, which adds up. Due to their module-based structure, Rippling’s pricing system can create budgeting complexity, requiring extensive initial research to accurately estimate total costs.
