Remote review

Remote is the most transparent global employment vendor in this list. Its pricing page shows every product with no base fee: contractor management from $29 a month, contractor management plus at $99 with up to $100,000 indemnity per contractor, contractor of record at $325, global payroll for your own entities from $29 per employee, a US PEO from $99 and employer of record from $599 per employee per month on annual contracts. The EOR covers more than 90 countries with a dedicated onboarding specialist, local payroll and localized benefits. Contractors are billed only in months you actually work with them, which suits startups testing a market with a freelancer first. Remote also supplies Gusto's international EOR. The gaps are coverage and HR depth: Deel lists more EOR countries, and Remote is built for employment and payroll rather than performance reviews or engagement surveys, so most startups pair it with an HR system later.
