Remote
A global employment platform whose flat rate employer of record and contractor pricing makes hiring abroad simple to budget.
Remote is one of the cleanest ways to hire and pay people across borders. It acts as employer of record so you can hire abroad without a local entity, runs compliant contractor payments, and offers global payroll where you already hold entities, all on owned infrastructure rather than a patchwork of partners. Its pricing is refreshingly flat and published, which makes budgeting easy next to quote heavy rivals. The tradeoffs are domestic scope and suite depth. Remote is built for global work, so it is not the tool for plain US payroll and benefits, and its broader HR features are lighter than a dedicated HRIS. Its closest rival is Deel.

In its favour
Held against it
Global reach and clear pricing lead, US depth is not the point.
Remote scores at the top on global hiring, contractors and pricing clarity, where its flat published rates stand out. Domestic payroll depth is the soft spot by design, since the platform is built for cross border employment.
