Where they pull apart

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

Worksuite

Stands out: Built for companies that pay many freelancers and contractors, with onboarding, payments and compliance in one platform.

Watch out: No published price. The Core plan is priced on a 30-minute call, and it covers contractors, not W-2 employee payroll.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers running W-2 payroll
  • Buyers who need a published price

Pros and cons

Remote

  • USD prices published for EOR, payroll, contractors
  • Hosted MCP plus REST API and CLI
  • Owns its local entities, not partner EORs
  • EOR at $599/employee/mo is a high list rate
  • Contractor indemnity costs more on Plus or Contractor of Record
  • FX conversion uses Remote’s own rate

Worksuite

  • Onboarding, compliance and payments in one tool
  • Built for large contractor programs
  • Live walkthrough before you commit
  • No published price
  • Not for W-2 employee payroll
  • Sales call required before a number
