## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Depends mostly on whether "remote" means *distributed across the US* or *across borders* - that single fact changes the answer more than any feature list. Here's who I'd actually name:
> 
> **1. Deel - if you're hiring internationally without local entities.** This is the default for genuinely global remote teams. EOR in 150+ countries, contractor management in 190+, and the HRIS layer (org charts, time off, onboarding, docs) is free with no employee cap, so you can run people ops on it before you ever pay. Global Payroll runs ~$29/employee/month, EOR ~$599/employee/month. The tradeoff: it grew out of compliance tooling, so the core HR features are newer and shallower than a real HCM.
> 
> **2. Rippling - if you want HR, payroll, and IT in one system.** The strongest pick for a distributed team where you're also shipping laptops and provisioning/deprovisioning accounts - onboarding a remote hire and their device in one workflow is genuinely the thing it does better than anyone. Starts around $8/employee/month, global payroll in 185 countries, and Workflow Studio automates across departments. Best fit roughly 50-500 employees; overkill under ~20.
> 
> **3. Gusto - if your team is US-only W-2 st
