## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> **Deel** - the default if any part of your team is outside your home country. It's an EOR in 150+ countries plus contractor management, so you can hire someone in Portugal or Brazil without setting up an entity. Contractor management runs ~$49/mo per contractor, EOR from ~$599/mo per employee. Its weakness is that the core HRIS (performance, engagement) is thinner than a dedicated HR platform.
> 
> **Rippling** - best if "remote" means your people are distributed but mostly US-based, and you care about IT as much as HR. It's the only one that ships a laptop, provisions Google/Slack/Okta accounts, and runs payroll off the same employee record. For remote onboarding that's genuinely the killer feature. Modular pricing (~$8-40/user/mo depending on what you turn on) and EOR is quote-only, which makes budgeting annoying.
> 
> **Gusto** - for US-only remote teams under ~50 people. Cheapest real option (~$160/mo for 20 people), handles multi-state payroll registration and tax filing well, which is the actual pain of a distributed US team. International is white-labeled Remote, so don't buy it for global.
> 
> **Remote.com** - the alternative to Deel for global hiring, worth picking when you want flat
