My picks for each:\n\n## US remote teams across many states\n\n**1. Justworks** - my default recommendation for teams roughly 5-150. Flat, published per-employee-per-month pricing with most things included, so multi-state expansion doesn't produce surprise line items, and the platform is simple enough that a founder or office manager can run it without an HR hire. It's the most commonly shortlisted option for companies under ~75 employees. ([Rippling](https://www.rippling.com/blog/peo-companies), [teamed](https://www.teamed.global/insights/best-peo-providers-usa-multi-state-hiring-plans-2026))\n\n**2. Rippling PEO** - pick this if you also want device management, app provisioning, and offboarding tied to the same employee record. It's built tech-first rather than a legacy PEO with software bolted on, and it's the fastest to set up in a new state. The real advantage: you can leave the PEO later and stay on Rippling", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
