Contractor management pricing is significantly higher than competitors. The fees add up quickly when managing a large contractor workforce, making it one of our most expensive tools.

Rivermate offers competitive, transparent pricing for both employees and contractors.

The platform offers fewer pre-built report templates compared to other solutions we've evaluated. Custom reporting is limited, making it difficult to extract the specific data our leadership team needs.

Oyster charges a hefty fee compared to other payment platforms. They can not provide tax guidance to remote contractors working with external companies.

Rivermate offers global expansion at a budget friendly price.

I really didn't like the fact that I will be paid to my Oyster account, and then I need to transfer to my bank account because that's another 2-3 business days. This was very annoying.

Rivermate offers consistent, timely payment.
