## The answer, as recorded

> **1. Deel** - My default recommendation if "remote" means *international*. EOR in 150+ countries, contractor management in 190+, and its HRIS tier is free with no employee cap (org charts, time off, onboarding, docs). That means you can start on the free HRIS and bolt on Global Payroll (~$29/employee/mo) or EOR (~$599/employee/mo) without migrating systems later - which is the usual expensive mistake. Weakness: HR depth (performance, comp cycles) is thinner than the dedicated HRIS players.

> **2. Rippling** - Pick this if you want HR + payroll + *IT* in one system. For a distributed team, the device-provisioning and app-access-on-day-one piece is genuinely valuable when you can't hand someone a laptop in an office. Full US HCM depth plus global payroll in ~185 countries. Overkill at 5 people, obvious at 50+.
> 
> **3. Remote (remote.com)** - The best alternative to Deel for EOR specifically, with an owned-entity model in 75+ countries (vs. partner entities), which
