Get dedicated HR experts, predictable (and transparent) pricing, and support for complex employee situations—without juggling multiple vendors. Oyster is an Employer of Record that helps you employ and care for talent in 180+ countries—without opening legal entities or stitching together local vendors. From one intuitive platform, you can generate compliant contracts, run payroll, and offer competitive, country-specific benefits to employees and contractors around the world. But software is only half the story. When you are navigating a termination in France, figuring out benefits benchmarks in Singapore, or supporting someone who wants to move from Germany to Portugal, a help article isn’t enough. With Oyster, you get in-house HR and legal experts who know local laws and cultural nuances and can respond in minutes, not days. They’re not an add-on or an outsourced call center. They’re part of what you’re paying for. For your US workforce, Oyster PEO lets you outsource payroll, benefits, and HR administration through a co-employment model. We act as the administrative employer, managing payroll, benefits, retirement, and compliance, while you stay focused on directing work, performance, compensation, and career growth. It’s a simple way to stay compliant and competitive in the US without building a large HR function in-house. We also believe how you build your team matters as much as who you hire. Oyster is the only B Corp-certified global employment provider in the market, which means we’re independently vetted for how we treat people and run our business. Our pricing is transparent and predictable—no surprise fees for offboarding, benefits administration, or “gotchas” buried in the invoice. For HR, Legal, Finance, and C-suite leaders, that adds up to less risk, fewer distractions, and more room to focus on growth. You move into new markets faster, give every team member a fair and consistent experience, and know you have a partner who’ll tell you the right thing to do, not just the easy thing. If you’re planning to expand globally—or want more confidence in how you run your US and international teams—Oyster is here to help you do it right. * * * Product Website Oyster Seller [Oyster](https://www.g2.com/sellers/oyster-0b7bddd7-f6e0-4a4b-a2d4-c5adc112dd9b) Discussions [Oyster Community](https://www.g2.com/products/oyster-oyster/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Mathilde Dechansiaud (Demand Gen at Oyster | Work from Anywhere Advocate ✨) Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Oyster. ### EOR Employee of Record Starting at $699.00 Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/oyster-oyster/pricing) ## Oyster Integrations (13) What do users say about integrations?

It makes managing contracts and payroll incredibly straightforward, which allows me to focus more on my work rather than administrative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Oyster is reliable and quick, making it easy to use my money. It's been very easy; I get the money as soon as I get the email notification, like my invoice.

Paid on time and works overall. So as a Service nothing wrong with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster? Accurate Timetracking is impossible: 10+ clicks to change start time and another 10+ clicks to change end time as well as crazy 2 factor timeout of max 8 hours. They seem to expect you to not track your time accurately. Holiday calendar for Spain doesn't work unless setting Barcelona and Madrid. It should be able to take all Catalonian Public Holidays at least, but really it should have a comprehensive list of all holidays of major areas which are readily available online. Expenses same thing, very unclear how to structure expense report and where to add which cost. If adding one consolidated report - requires double upload and no automatic categorization at all.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster? Some of the benefits aren't explained with enough details.

Head of Talent Acquisition and Engagement Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/16/2026 "User-Friendly Platform with Room for Expense Management Improvement" 4/5 What do you like best about Oyster? I find Oyster very useful. The website is very user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate between different parts. The process for holiday requests is straightforward. I really like that the support team is very responsive. These are the things I like the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Oyster? I think some of the administrative rules for Poland could be more simplified. They have long texts about different rules, which are quite lengthy and take time to digest. The real key takeaways could be better designed and highlighted. Expensing is not the most advanced way, and it still takes time. For example, for the per diem part, I need to create a separate ticket, which I can't submit immediately via the expense section. Another thing is the lack of visibility on expenses; it just does not exist. You see it on the payroll, but there should be some visibility on when and how much is going to be paid. So, the visibility into expenses is a major gap and is the biggest highlight that needs improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Oyster solving and how is that benefiting you? Oyster handles legal employment, payroll, holiday requests, and administrative tasks for my job in Poland, bridging the gap between me and my employer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
