Asked on 2026-10-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "remote" splits into two very different buying situations - a US-based team working from home, versus people spread across multiple countries. Here's who I'd actually name:

> 
> **2. Rippling** - the best pick if your remote ops pain is as much IT as HR. It's the only one of these that provisions and wipes laptops, manages app access, and does payroll in the same system, which genuinely matters when nobody is in an office to hand someone a machine. Base is ~$8/employee/month, but everything is modular and quote-based - they don't publish EOR pricing, and third-party estimates range from $499 to $1,000/employee/month, so budget for a sales conversation.
> 
> **3. Gusto** - if your team is US W-2 employees who happen to work from home, stop here. Payroll, benefits, and light HR for
