## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The word "PEO" gets used for two different things, and remote teams usually need to pick a lane first: a **true co-employment PEO** if your remote people are all in the US but scattered across states, or an **EOR** (often marketed as "global PEO") if they're in other countries. My picks for each:
> 
> ## US remote teams across many states
> 
> **1. Justworks** - my default recommendation for teams roughly 5-150. Flat, published per-employee-per-month pricing with most things included, so multi-state expansion doesn't produce surprise line items, and the platform is simple enough that a founder or office manager can run it without an HR hire. It's the most commonly shortlisted option for companies under ~75 employees. ([Rippling](https://www.rippling.com/blog/peo-companies), [teamed](https://www.teamed.global/insights/best-peo-providers-usa-multi-state-hiring-plans-2026))
> 
> **2. Rippling PEO** - pick this if you also want device management, app provisioning, and offboarding tied to the same employee record. It's built tech-first rather than a legacy PEO with software bolted on, and it's the fastest to set up in a new state. The real advantage: you can leave the PEO later and stay on Rippling

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
