FAQ
How does Alcor EOR differ from Multiplier?
Alcor is a tech-focused EOR and R&D partner built specifically to scale engineering teams. Multiplier is a generalist global employment platform serving multiple industries.
The product scope is where the real difference shows. Multiplier handles payroll, compliance, benefits, visas, and expenses. Finding engineers is up to you, though they collaborate with recruiting agencies. Alcor runs EOR, in-house tech recruitment, and full operational support as a single engineering system, with no external vendors involved.
Pricing also differs. Multiplier charges a flat $400 monthly fee per employee. Alcor offers volume-based pricing that decreases as your engineering team grows, with no setup costs, deposits, or exit fees.
Which companies should choose Alcor EOR over Multiplier?
Alcor is the right fit for tech product companies scaling engineering teams in EE or LATAM. Specifically:
- Scale-ups get recruitment and EOR/COR model in one place – no need to juggle 3+ vendors to build their first offshore engineering team.
- Mature tech product companies get the operational depth – payroll, HR, office setup, employer branding – needed to run a stable, long-term R&D center abroad.
- Unicorns and high-growth companies get a proven model to scale from 10 to 30+ developers in 3 months, with dedicated support and volume pricing that a self-service platform can’t match.
When is Multiplier a better alternative to Alcor EOR?
Companies choose Multiplier when:
- They need to hire across 150+ countries.
- Their hiring is concentrated in APAC – Singapore, India, Philippines, Australia – where Multiplier provides its services.
- You want a fast self-serve setup with contract generation in minutes.
- Your target markets are outside Eastern Europe and Latin America, since Alcor operates exclusively in those regions.
Can Alcor support hiring, EOR, and operational services within a single model?
Yes. Alcor offers an all-in-one solution that is built specifically for tech product companies that need all three.
