*Figures confirmed against ayp-group.com/pricing and usemultiplier.com/pricing, Aug 2026,
One published price, no asterisks. AYP's $488/mo EOR is the complete published starting rate. Multiplier's pricing page lists a comparable number plus add-ons and an implementation fee as separate line items.
PEO as a distinct option. AYP offers PEO alongside EOR; Multiplier's core lineup is EOR and Global Payroll, without a separately branded PEO product.
One point of accountability. A named regional advisor per market, instead of routing through shared support.
Where Multiplier fits better
Broader global footprint. Owned entities across 160+ countries beat AYP's 13+ market focus if your hiring spans well beyond Asia Pacific.
Lower published payroll rate. Multiplier's payroll starts at $20/employee/month, below AYP's $28, for companies that already have entities.
Worth weighing: if you need one platform to run payroll and EOR across dozens of countries outside APAC, Multiplier's scale is real — but it comes with add-on line items AYP's single price avoids.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How is AYP different from Multiplier?
AYP is a specialist EOR, PEO and payroll provider focused on 13+ Asia Pacific markets, with a named advisor per account and one published price with no separate add-on line items. Multiplier is a global EOR and payroll platform covering 160+ countries with owned entities in most, priced from $459–499/employee/month plus compliance-mandated add-ons and an implementation fee as applicable.
Is AYP cheaper than Multiplier?
It depends on the plan. Multiplier's Core plan (from $459/month annual) and payroll (from $20/month) are each a little below AYP's $488 EOR and $28 payroll. Multiplier's own pricing page adds compliance-mandated add-ons and an implementation fee on top of that headline number, though, so ask for an itemized quote from both before comparing sticker prices.
Does AYP offer a PEO like Multiplier?
AYP offers PEO as a distinct service line alongside EOR. Multiplier does not currently offer a separately branded PEO product; its core offering is EOR and Global Payroll.
Can I use AYP alongside Multiplier?
Yes. Many companies run Multiplier for hires across a broad international footprint and bring in AYP specifically for Asia Pacific markets, where a named advisor and PEO option can be a better fit than a shared global support model.
What is Multiplier's support model compared to AYP's?
Multiplier offers 24/7 support and holds SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR certifications, but that support is shared across its customer base. AYP gives every account one named regional advisor instead. Multiplier's certifications are a real point in its favor if compliance documentation matters to your procurement process.
