## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-30 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer depends on whether "remote" means *distributed across countries* or *US employees working from home* - those need different tools. Here's what I'd actually name, roughly in order:
> 
> **If you employ people in multiple countries:**
> 
> 1. **Deel** - the default recommendation. EOR and contractor coverage in 150+ countries, fastest onboarding, and the HRIS layer is now good enough to be your only system if you're under ~100 people. EOR from ~$599/employee/mo, contractors from ~$49/mo. Pick it when your constraint is "hire this person in Portugal next week."
> 2. **Remote** - the better choice if compliance rigor matters more than speed. They own more of their legal entities (rather than renting partners), which means cleaner IP assignment and fewer surprises, plus they're the only major one that handles equity grants for international team members. Similar price point to Deel.
> 3. **Rippling** - best if you want HR, payroll, *and* IT/device management in one place. Shipping and locking down laptops for people you'll never meet is a real remote problem, and Rippling is the only one that treats it as a first-class feature. Heavier to configure than the other two.
> 4. **Oyster*
