Oyster HR plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

| People Partner Services | $300/hour | 3 | +$271/hour, 3 more features |
| Employer of Record (EOR) | $699/month | 8 | +$399/month, 8 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Oyster HR badges page.
Before you pay for Oyster HR
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $29/month and $699/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Oyster HR against the tools that do have one before committing.
Oyster HR runs on not recorded. The full record is on the Oyster HR review, and the rest of the category is under best hr tools.
Oyster HR pricing questions
- How much does Oyster HR cost?
- Oyster HR publishes 3 tiers, from $29/month for Global Contractors up to $699/month for Employer of Record (EOR). The cheapest paid tier is $29/month.
- Does Oyster HR have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Oyster HR is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Global Contractors and People Partner Services on Oyster HR?
- People Partner Services costs $300/hour against $29/month, and adds project-based hr advisory, support for eor and own entities, flexible scope from advice to full execution.
- Is the Employer of Record (EOR) plan on Oyster HR worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is per employee pricing, compliant employment in 120+ countries, multi-country payroll in 120+ currencies, automated expenses/time-off/reports. It costs $699/month against $29/month for Global Contractors. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Oyster HR?
- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The Oyster HR review carries whatever feature detail is available.
- Does Oyster HR charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Oyster HR prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Oyster HR against before paying?
- The closest hr tools in this directory are Talkspace for Business, Spring Health, Unmind, Guild. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Oyster HR covering price, platforms and features.
