Remote People review

Remote People offers EOR, Contractor of Record, contractor management, global payroll, a US PEO and recruitment. Its pricing cards show EOR Global from $499 per employee a month; the FAQ gives EOR Flex from $199, with no setup fee or minimum term. It claims EOR in 150+ countries, and 8 of its country pages say something specific about the service there. It states it holds SOC 2 Type II.

Verdict

Best for

  • Startups, scale-ups, mid-market companies and enterprises, in Remote People's own words
  • Companies hiring their first employee abroad, in a single country
  • Teams with staff spread over several countries
  • Companies moving contractors onto employment contracts
  • Buyers who want recruitment and EOR together (recruitment drops to 2% of annual salary when bundled with EOR)

Not for

  • Buyers who need a confirmed ISO 27001 certificate before signing
  • Teams that want to start hiring without first signing a proposal
  • Companies that need a PEO outside the US, or a US PEO without their own US entity
  • Contractor management for contractors based in India or China
Stands out
Platform and published terms: an open API, 70+ integrations per its enterprise page, IP assigned to the client from the first clause of the EOR contract, a named account manager with EOR, and public service agreements from a Singapore company on the ACRA register.
Biggest limit
Most of its EOR country pages are one template: 8 say something specific about the service there, against a claim of 150+ countries. Its pages also disagree on the EOR price ($499 on the plan cards, $199 in the FAQ), ISO 27001 status, support hours and onboarding time.

Remote People: pricing by service
ServiceSetup feeNotes
Employer of Record—EOR Global from $499 per employee a month, the price on the pricing page's plan cards. The cards also list EOR Select from $199 for selected countries and salary ranges ('country and salary conditions apply'). The pricing page's FAQ and the EOR page give EOR Flex from $199 (monthly billing, no setup fee, no minimum term) and EOR Plus from $399 (annual billing and commitment, teams of five or more, no deposit). The rate depends on the country and is quoted before signing. The stated country count differs between pages: 150+ on most, 'local entities across 180+ countries' on the platform page.[1][2][3]
Contractor of Record—Service fee only; the contractor's pay is billed separately. One-month deposit for fixed-rate contracts, none for pay-as-you-go contracts.[1][4]
Contractor management—The pricing page and its FAQ list $29 for each contractor monthly. The help centre gives a $19 platform fee per payout. Not available for contractors in India or China; payments by direct debit only.[1][5]
Global payroll—Payroll on the client's own entities. Global Payroll from $25; US Payroll from $29 (the upper figure). Volume discounts for 50+ employees. The page says go-live in 14 days and, in its FAQ, 2-4 weeks per country.[1][6]
PEO—US PEO, co-employment under the client's own US entity; flat fee with no percentage markup. The site also has PEO guide pages for other countries, which do not fit a US-only service.[1][7]
Recruiting—Global recruitment 20% of annual salary, paid on the candidate's first day; executive search 25%; recruitment bundled with EOR 2% of annual salary spread over 12 months.[1]

Pros and cons

Pros

  • An open API, and 70+ integrations per its enterprise page
  • The EOR contract assigns IP and invention rights to the client from the first clause, and a named account manager comes with EOR
  • Public agreements from Horizons Global Technology Pte. Ltd., on the ACRA register in Singapore (UEN 202117926G): General Terms for EOR and COR, plus Contractor Management, Payroll Services and recruitment agreements
  • Own entities: 1 on company registers (New Horizons Global Partners Germany GmbH, HRB 221030 B) and 3 more stated by the provider (India, the Philippines, the UK)
  • Its imprint states a temporary-employment approval under section 1 AÜG from the Federal Employment Agency, which covers EOR in Germany
  • States it holds SOC 2 Type II; the trust centre lists SOC 2 as 'Compliant' and offers access on request
  • EOR Flex, the monthly plan in the FAQ, has no setup fee and no minimum term

Cons

  • Hiring is sales-led: a client account can be self-registered, but a country opens only after a signed proposal
  • The EOR price depends on the page: the plan cards show EOR Global from $499 and EOR Select from $199 for selected countries and salaries, while the FAQ gives EOR Flex from $199 and EOR Plus from $399
  • Of its 196 EOR country pages, 8 say something specific about the service there; the rest, Nauru and Somalia included, share one template or describe EOR in general, so we count them as claims
  • EOR deposit of one month of the employee's gross pay, per the help centre. Under the General Terms it can be raised, all deposits sit in one pool Remote People may set off against any amount owed without prior notice, and a set-off must be topped up within 2 business days
  • The terms allow a one-month service fee on contested terminations and on final payments after a project ends, and set 60 days' notice to end an agreement, while the EOR page says 'cancel anytime'
  • ISO 27001 is called certified, aligned, a framework and compliant on different pages, so we count SOC 2 only
  • Conflicting service figures: EOR onboarding is 'live in 48 hours' on the EOR page, 5-10 days on the UK page and an 8-day global average in the help centre; support hours are 24/5 or 24/7 depending on the page, and the help centre's round-the-clock answers come from an AI assistant
  • Contractor management is $29 per contractor a month on the pricing page and $19 per payout in the help centre
  • No PEO agreement is published
