From $29/employee/mo MCP server API
Bottom line
Global EOR, payroll, and contractor platform on owned entities. Payroll and contractor seats start at $29 each; EOR is $599 per employee/month on annual contracts.
Stands out for: Published USD prices plus a hosted MCP server at mcp.remote.com and a public employment API.
Watch out for: EOR is $599 per employee/month, not $29. Contractor Management Plus is $99 and Contractor of Record $325. FX uses Remote’s own rate.
