About Remote

Remote (remote.com) lets companies hire employees abroad through its employer-of-record service, run payroll for their own entities in many countries, and onboard and pay contractors. A selling point is that Remote owns the local legal entities it uses for EOR rather than relying mostly on partners, which it argues gives more control over compliance and data. It also offers a free HRIS tier, benefits packages, equity advice and tools for mobility and visas. Pricing is published per employee per month for EOR and global payroll, with contractor management billed per active contractor. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. As with any EOR, costs are high compared with your own entity once you have many people in one country, and coverage, benefits and onboarding speed differ by country, so check the details for the places you hire.

Best for: Startups and scale-ups hiring employees and contractors across many countries.
