Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**If your remote team is international (the hard case)**\n\n1. **Deel** - my default recommendation. EOR in 130-150+ countries largely through owned entities, which matters because the entity holder is the one carrying the liability. Strongest contractor side too (misclassification screening, local contracts), which is where most remote teams actually get burned. ~$599/employee/mo EOR, $49/contractor/mo, $125/employee/mo for US PEO.\n2. **Remote** - the pick if you'd rather have *owned* entities than partner coverage. Fewer countries (~80 owned) but payroll and compliance are native to those entities rather than brokered, and their IP/invention-assignment handling is the best in the category for engineering teams.\n3. **Oyster** - good compliance depth and notably strong support, but it leans on third-party partners for a lot of its 120-180 country coverage, so diligence on *which* country you're hiring in matters. Cheapest contractor tier (~$29/mo); EOR ~$699/mo.\n4. **Pebl** (forme", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
