What RemoFirst costs for one employee and a team
| Team size | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 employee | $199 | $2,388 |
| 5 employees | $995 | $11,940 |
| 10 employees | $1,990 | $23,880 |
| 25 employees | $4,975 | $59,700 |
Source: RemoFirst pricing page, checked October 18, 2026. $199 x headcount, then x 12. Salary, employer contributions and country adjustments are billed on top.
One employee with RemoHealth costs $199 + $55 = $254 a month, or $3,048 a year, in known fees. Salary and employer contributions (see our employer cost index) come on top, plus a deposit RemoFirst does not size publicly.
Deposit, FX and exit terms
Deposit: neither the pricing page nor the terms of use state one. A Trustpilot reviewer reports a deposit held during an invoice dispute, so ask for the amount and refund timing in writing.
Currency: exchange rates and conversion fees are not explained.
Exit: the pricing FAQ says no minimum term, no annual contract, no minimum headcount and no termination fee. Statutory severance is not addressed and the notice period is not published.
Before you sign, get the deposit amount, the FX rate and markup, and how long fees run after notice in writing.
Partner entities in 185+ countries
RemoFirst's homepage says it works with exclusive, proprietary partners in 185+ countries. It does not claim its own entities, so a partner company, not RemoFirst, is your hire's legal employer. Ask which partner will employ your hire; our employer of record explainer covers why. Visa support is given as 110+ countries in one part of the pricing page and 85+ in another. ISO and SOC 2 Type II badges appear as images, with no certificate details.
Who RemoFirst fits, and who it does not
It fits a company hiring a few people abroad on a tight budget, or paying contractors, that accepts a partner model. Look elsewhere if you need the EOR's own entity, want deposit and FX terms before a sales call, or weigh Trustpilot heavily.
