Where the difference comes from
Remote is a global-hiring vendor and prints its prices, customer terms and support hours. Rippling is an HR and payroll suite with global hiring added, and it quotes on request. Rippling’s pages carry more on security reports and integrations; Remote’s carry more on price, terms and who employs.

| Notes | Pricing page: starting at $599 per employee a month; no setup or onboarding fees. The earlier $699 monthly-billing price is no longer on the page. | Custom quote only; the pricing page gives no EOR price. The 80-country figure is from a Rippling blog post updated June 2025; the EOR product page states no count. Rippling Spain SL is in the Spanish company register, but its registered purpose is software and IT services, so Spain is not counted as an own EOR entity. |

Remote
What does the data show about Remote as an Employer of Record?
AI
Remote lists EOR from $599 a month per employee with no setup or onboarding fee. Its EOR page claims 90+ countries and 100+ owned entities; we document 88 countries + 2 territories, with own entities 5 on company registers and 83 more stated by the provider. Its SOC 2 Type II report and ISO 27001 certificate are its own.
What the data does not show
The EOR page gives onboarding as 3 days on average, the startups page as under 3 days. No per-country onboarding times or termination fee are published.
What are Remote's main drawbacks?
AI
Price and weekend support. The $599 EOR fee is above 15 of the 20 other EOR list prices in US dollars here, and global payroll at $29 is above 4 of the 6 other payroll prices. Live agents work Monday to Friday; at weekends only the RemoteAI chatbot replies in chat. Remote may ask for a reserve of unstated size.
What the data does not show
5 of Remote's EOR entities are on company registers; 83 more are backed only by Remote's own pages. The only contractor payout method on record is USDC stablecoins.
Rippling
What does the data show about Rippling as an Employer of Record?
AI
A Rippling blog post updated June 2025 puts its EOR in 80 countries; 58 countries + 1 territory are documented here. Own entities: 0 on company registers and 2 stated by the provider. It quotes EOR prices on request only. Its security page names seven certifications and reports in its own name, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
What the data does not show
Rippling states no setup fee, deposit, contract term or termination charge. Support channels and hours are not stated; the EOR page says only that Rippling answers in under 30 seconds.
What are Rippling's main drawbacks?
AI
Price and support disclosure. Rippling gives no price for EOR, contractor management or global payroll, and no fee terms. Its pages name no support channels, hours or account manager. Its EOR reach rests on an 80-country figure from a June 2025 blog post, and only 2 of the 58 documented EOR countries have an own entity, both stated by Rippling.
What the data does not show
The developer documentation names a Global Payroll API but no EOR or contractor-payment API, so API coverage of those services is not confirmed.
