Remote

Remote sells cloud-based global payroll, Employer-of-Record (EOR) services, contractor management, and HRIS software on a per-employee or per-contractor subscription model. Plans start around $29 per contractor/month and scale to mid-three-figure monthly fees for full EOR employees; all sales and onboarding are handled online through remote.com and its platform dashboard. The company owns local legal entities in 70+ countries, allowing customers to hire employees abroad without setting up their own subsidiaries. Same-day onboarding, IP protection guardrails, and transparent flat-rate pricing—no hidden setup or termination fees—are core differentiators, supported by a self-serve interface and 24/7 human guidance. Remote targets venture-backed startups, mid-size tech firms, and distributed-first enterprises that want to hire internationally while staying compliant and cash-efficient. Buyers value speed, regulatory peace-of-mind, and the ability to offer equitable benefits worldwide, aligning with remote-work, diversity, and border-free talent philosophies. It competes in the crowded “global employment platform” space against both legacy payroll outsourcers and newer EOR SaaS providers. Remote differentiates through direct country entity ownership (reducing third-party markup), open API integrations, and a policy of never charging departure or exchange-rate surcharges, positioning itself as a lower-cost, higher-control alternative.
