Scored impartially by Claude Opus 5.5 against the same seven public criteria used for every provider.
Verdict

Its solid platform capabilities, equity support, and lack of offboarding fees make it highly competitive, though buyers should verify entity ownership models for specific target countries and check FX conversion rates.

Remote employs your staff through entities it owns in every EOR country it covers, and backs this with uncapped indemnity, so it ranks well on compliance. Contracts are less flexible: order forms run for 12 months and renew automatically unless you give 30 days’ notice. Put it on your shortlist if you want a single owned-entity provider and can commit for a year, and get the FX margin and renewal terms in writing before you sign.
Deel covers more countries than most EOR providers and owns its own entities in over 100 of them. At USD 599 per employee per month, its EOR fee is in line with the other large platforms. It suits companies hiring both contractors and employees across several countries. Before signing, ask for the deposit amount, FX markup and any offboarding fees in writing.
