Comparison
EasyEOR vs Remote for Hiring in Poland
Remote Owns Its Poland Entity. So Do We. The Difference Is What Else Is on Their Plate.
Remote is one of the more credible global platforms on entity ownership, they genuinely run their own Polish entity, not a partner.
The question isn’t whether Remote does Poland well, it’s whether a provider spread across roughly 70 countries gives your one Poland hire the same attention a Poland-only specialist does.
Where Remote is genuinely strong
Remote operates its own legal entity in Poland, a spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, and files ZUS declarations directly through Płatnik rather than routing through a partner. That’s a genuine strength, one of the clearer cases of owned-entity infrastructure among the global platforms. Onboarding is reported at around 4 to 6 business days, and Remote’s own marketing is direct about why the owned entity matters, avoiding the delays and inconsistency that come with third-party partner relay.
None of that is in dispute. The question this page is actually answering is narrower, what happens when the country you’re hiring in is Poland, and Poland is most or all of what you need, against a provider whose entity ownership and support are spread across roughly 70 countries at once.
The structural difference that matters most, can your client actually manage the employee day to day
This is a legal distinction, not a platform feature, and it’s the most important difference on this page.
A standard EOR arrangement in Poland is legally structured as an outsourcing of services contract. The employee’s legal employer is the EOR, and the client company directs the work indirectly, through the service arrangement, not as a direct employer. Under this structure, a client exercising genuine, direct, day-to-day management of the employee, setting their hours, supervising them the way a normal manager would, sits in a legal grey area, it starts to look like the client is acting as the real employer even though the contract says otherwise, the same underlying reclassification risk covered on our B2B contract reclassification guide, just from a different direction.
Poland has a separate, specific legal framework for exactly this situation, temporary work agency employment, governed by its own statute. A licensed temporary work agency employs the worker, and the client is formally named in the arrangement as the user employer, pracodawca użytkownik, with the legal right to directly manage and supervise the employee’s day-to-day work.
EasyEOR Sp. z o.o. holds its own temporary work agency licence (KRAZ), issued directly to EasyEOR. A standard outsourcing-of-services EOR contract, the kind most global platforms including Remote offer as their default Poland setup, doesn’t have that same legal basis for direct client management built in, regardless of how well the underlying entity is run.
If day-to-day management by your team is central to how you plan to run the role, this is worth asking any EOR provider about directly, not assuming it’s covered by default.
Where the Remote-proposition gets weaker for a Poland-only hire
Poland is one market among roughly 70, not the whole business. Remote’s owned-entity infrastructure and support team cover a wide spread of countries simultaneously. EasyEOR’s entire operation, every part of the business, is built around this one country.
You’re paying for a platform sized for a much bigger operation than one country. Remote’s product covers payroll, contractor management, mobility, benefits administration and a full HRIS across every market it operates in. For a company whose actual need is a handful of hires in Poland, a meaningful part of the fee funds infrastructure built for a much broader footprint.
Pricing sits above a flat, published number. Remote’s EOR pricing is generally cited around $599 a month on an annual plan, $699 on monthly billing, both above EasyEOR’s flat €349. The published number is a genuine strength of Remote’s relative to some competitors, it’s just a higher number for the same country.
What it actually costs to hire one person in Poland
Flat fee, €349 a month per employee, on top of gross salary and the roughly 20.48% employer ZUS contribution. No setup fee, no minimum headcount, no sales call needed to find out the number.

When Remote is genuinely the better choice
If you’re hiring across a wide spread of countries and want owned-entity certainty in each of them without piecing together multiple local specialists, Remote’s breadth and entity-ownership track record are genuine advantages a Poland-only provider can’t match, and shouldn’t try to. This page isn’t arguing Remote does Poland badly, it’s arguing that a Poland-concentrated hire is being served by a provider whose attention is necessarily spread much wider.
FAQ
Does Remote actually own its entity in Poland?
Yes, this is confirmed on Remote’s own site and is a genuine point in their favour, they file ZUS directly through their own entity rather than a partner.
What’s the difference between an outsourcing-of-services EOR contract and a temporary work agency contract?
Under an outsourcing arrangement, the EOR is the legal employer and directs the work indirectly through the service agreement, the client manages the outcome, not the employee day to day, in the strict legal sense. Under a temporary work agency contract, the client is formally named as the user employer and has the legal right to directly manage the employee’s daily work. EasyEOR holds its own temporary work agency licence and can offer either structure.
Is EasyEOR cheaper than Remote?
Yes on the published numbers, €349 flat versus $599 to $699, though currency conversion means the exact gap moves with exchange rates, worth checking current figures directly.
Would EasyEOR make sense if we’re hiring in Poland and several other countries?
Worth discussing directly, we’re Poland-only, so if your hiring spans several markets, a mixed approach, a Poland specialist for the Poland hires and another provider for the rest, is a common and often effective setup.
