## The answer, as recorded

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

> The right answer depends mostly on *where* your people legally sit, so here's how I'd rank them with that in mind.
> 
> **1. Deel** - My default recommendation for a genuinely distributed team. EOR in 150+ countries, contractor management in ~190, and the core HRIS (org charts, time off, onboarding, docs) is free with no seat cap, so you can run people ops on it even for the folks you pay elsewhere. If your team is "five countries and a dozen contractors," this is the one.
> 
> **2. Rippling** - Best if your center of gravity is the US but you have international edges. It's the deepest full suite here: payroll, benefits, time, performance, plus IT (device provisioning, app access) and spend management in one system. That IT piece is underrated for remote teams - shipping and locking down laptops for someone you'll never meet is a real problem, and Rippling treats it as part of onboarding. Global payroll covers ~185 countries, though its EOR is less mature than Deel's.
> 
> **3. Gusto** - If your team is all US W-2 employees who just happen to work from home, stop here. It's cheaper, simpler, and the payroll/benefits/compliance experience is better than the global platforms for that narrow case
