## The answer, as recorded

> Here's how I'd actually rank these, depending on which problem you're solving - "managed IT for remote teams" splits into *outsourced helpdesk* and *device lifecycle/logistics*, and most teams need both.
> 
> ## If you want someone else to run IT
> 
> **1. Electric** - My default recommendation for remote-first US startups and SMBs under ~500 people. Slack-based helpdesk (sub-10-minute response claims), onboarding/offboarding automation, device policy enforcement, remote lock and wipe. Pricing is per-seat: roughly $10/employee/mo for Essentials and $25 for Pro. Caveat worth knowing - reviews on the lower tier's support quality are genuinely mixed, so if support speed is the whole reason you're buying, get the Pro tier in writing.
> 
> **2. Deel IT** - Best pick if your team spans many countries. Procure, ship, track, support, and recover hardware in 120+ countries including customs handling, with 24/7 multinational support. This is the one that solves "we hired someone in Portugal and nobody can get them a laptop." Especially easy if you're already using Deel for EOR/payroll.
> 
> **3. Esevel** - Choose over Deel IT if your headcount is concentrated in APAC or emerging markets. They have actual in
