Skuad Reviews & Ratings

4.6/5

“Very Helpful Support but Occasionally Slow”

When we had questions about tax or contract templates, their team explained everything well, it felt more personalized than some competitors.

Pros : Support is generally cheerful and responsive, especially when onboarding new regions.

Cons : A few times emails took longer to get answered, especially for complex compliance queries.

Switched from : Remote HR

Reason to switch : Remote’s higher pricing and less personal support pushed us to try Skuad, which felt more attentive and user-friendly.

4.5/5

“Global Hiring Made Easy, Support Usually Responsive”

Managing multi-country payroll is no longer a headache. Skuad’s EOR and contractor payment tools helped us stay compliant in countries we barely knew the laws for.

Pros : Skuad’s HR and compliance support feels very responsive when we had questions about local labor laws and payroll taxes, support answered quickly.

Cons : While support is helpful, response times can be slower for more complex questions.

Switched from : Remote HR

Reason to switch : We moved off Remote because Skuad’s payroll interface was easier to navigate for our HR team and better suited to our global contractor mix.

4.5/5

“Streamlined HR Payroll for Remote Teams Without Local Entities”

Our international hiring feels seamless contracts, payments, and compliance all run through one platform instead of fragmented systems.

Pros : Skuad lets us onboard staff in new countries without establishing local legal entities, a huge win for our global strategy.

Cons : I noticed limited customization for deeply complex HR workflows in a couple of regions.

Switched from : Rippling

Reason to switch : Rippling was strong but pricey and overkill for our needs. Skuad gave us the essentials at a much better value point.

4.3/5

“Contractor Payments Have Never Been Easier”

Our contractor network spans 30+ countries; Skuad consolidates invoices and payments into one dashboard, which was a huge admin relief.

Pros : Paying contractors across different countries and currencies is now simple Skuad handles invoices and multi-currency payments without error.

Cons : There is no native mobile app yet, so mobile management is limited.

Switched from : Papaya Global

Reason to switch : Papaya’s pricing was higher and less transparent moving to Skuad cut costs while keeping global contractor payments compliant.

4.3/5

“Smooth Onboarding and Payroll for Remote Teams”

When we expanded into new countries, Skuad’s automated payroll and contract generation had us up and running in a week much faster than doing local entity setup.

Pros : The onboarding process was relatively fast and handled all the local legal compliance steps for employees abroad.

Cons : Some elements of the admin dashboard weren’t as customizable as I hoped.

Switched from : Oyster HR

Reason to switch : Oyster’s pricing and onboarding complexity were higher, so we switched to Skuad for quicker hiring and easier payroll execution.

4.2/5

“Affordable but Still Powerful EOR Tool”

Compared to complex enterprise HR stacks, Skuad gave us simple yet powerful tools for payroll, compliance, and contractor payments.

Pros : Skuad’s value for money is excellent pricing is transparent and affordable, especially for startups or companies scaling internationally.

Cons : There weren’t built-in recruitment or background check services, which meant using extra tools.

Switched from : Horizons EOR

Reason to switch : Horizons had higher pricing and limited localized payroll support, so we chose Skuad for cost-effectiveness and compliance.

4.2/5

“Good Compliance Coverage Has Reduced Our Legal Risk”

Before Skuad, staying up to date with each country’s labor rules was a nightmare, now much of it is automated and accurate.

Pros : Skuad guides us through local employment laws, payroll compliance, and benefits in each country we hire, huge peace of mind.

Cons : Some advanced HR features felt limited, more suitable for payroll and EOR than full HRIS.

Switched from : Oyster HR

Reason to switch : Oyster’s payroll automation was weaker for the specific countries we operate in; Skuad’s compliance tools responded better to local laws.

4.2/5

“Excellent Payroll Automation, But Setup Takes Time”

Skuad’s automation reduced the time we spent on payroll and compliance tracking especially handy when managing employees in multiple jurisdictions.

Pros : The automated payroll calculations, including taxes and local contributions, meant fewer errors and manual spreadsheets.

Cons : The initial platform learning curve was a bit steep for our admin staff.

Switched from : WorkMotion

Reason to switch : WorkMotion didn’t offer the same level of payroll automation in all countries we needed. Skuad’s coverage and automation won us over.

4.1/5

“Made Global Payroll and Compliance Simple for Us”

With employees in over 10 countries, Skuad brought everything onboarding, payroll, and compliance into one place. It helped us hire and pay talent without needing to set up local entities.

Pros : I found Skuad’s international payroll and compliance tools incredibly helpful it smooths out most of the complexity around global employment. The onboarding and contracts are automated, which saved our HR team so much time.

Cons : The interface took a little getting used to and onboarding initially felt slightly complex.

Switched from : Deel

Reason to switch : We switched from Deel because Skuad offered significantly lower starting pricing, especially for contractors, and waived a lot of the complicated setup fees while still covering compliance and payroll needs.

4.1/5

“Compliant Contracts and Payroll Across 160+ Countries”

Our HR team uses Skuad for cross-border hiring, and the legal compliance behind local labor laws gives us confidence. It’s simplified payroll, taxes, and benefits all in one.

Pros : The ability to hire and pay employees in over 160 countries without setting up subsidiaries was a game changer for us.

Cons : I wish there were deeper customization options for benefits management.

Switched from : Multiplier

Reason to switch : Multiplier lacked some payroll automation features we needed; with Skuad, we got more compliant payroll tools at better pricing.
