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 $599 per employee/month, not $29. Contractor Management Plus is $99 and Contractor of Record $325. 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

Remote

  • Contractor indemnity costs more on Plus or Contractor of Record
  • FX conversion uses Remote’s own rate
