Why Choose Horizons?

Three Simple Reasons to
Choose Horizons over Papaya Global

1. Transparent Pricing

Unlike Papaya Global with its hidden fees and added costs, Horizons offers straightforward, transparent pricing so you can budget with confidence and avoid any surprises.

2. Holistic Support

Papaya Global leaves you at the mercy of multiple third parties if things go wrong. Horizons has dedicated support on hand 24/7 to support you with any issues.

3. Horizons-owned EOR Infrastructure

Papaya Global is, by its own admission, simply an aggregator — it connects you with third parties in various countries that act as the Employer of Record. This creates serious compliance risks. With Horizons, your team is onboarded with Horizons-owned local entities ensuring full compliance — and accountability.
