Where they pull apart

Multiplier

Stands out: A published per-employee EOR number, which is still uncommon in this category, plus contractor and payroll SKUs beside it.

Watch out: The $459 figure is the Core annual employee fee, not all-in employment cost. Some countries price off-list, and Growth is higher.

Not the right fit for

US-only headcount
Enterprises that need a custom global payroll OS more than a flat EOR fee

Remote

Stands out: Published USD prices plus a hosted MCP server at mcp.remote.com and a public employment API.

Watch out: EOR is $699 per employee/month, not $29. Payroll has implementation and delivery fees on top. FX uses Remote’s own rate.

Not the right fit for

Buyers hunting the cheapest EOR rate
Teams that only need US payroll at Gusto-like prices
