## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The right answer splits on one question: is your remote team all in one country, or spread across several? That changes the recommendation more than anything else.
> 
> ## If you're hiring across countries
> 
> 1. **Deel** - my default recommendation for globally distributed teams. Broadest country coverage of any mainstream platform (contractors in ~150+ countries, EOR in 100+), and the HRIS, payroll, and contractor tooling are all one system, so you're not reconciling three vendors. EOR runs roughly $599/employee/month; contractor-only plans are far cheaper (~$49). The HR module is genuinely adequate up to ~50-100 people, which means you may not need a separate HRIS at all.
> 2. **Rippling** - pick this over Deel if you also care about IT: device provisioning, app access, and offboarding are tied to the same employee record. For remote teams, "ship the laptop, grant the accounts, revoke everything on day one of departure" is a real operational win. EOR covers ~80 countries, contractors 185+. Downside: modular pricing adds up fast and the sales process is pushy.
> 3. **Remote.com** - the cleanest alternative to Deel if you want owned entities rather than partner-of-record arrangements in more
