## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-12 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> One thing worth naming up front, because it changes the answer: a true **PEO** is a US co-employment arrangement (you already have the entity, they share employer liability and pool you into their benefits). Hiring someone in Portugal needs an **EOR**. "Remote team" usually means one or both, so here's both lists in the order I'd actually shortlist them.
> 
> ## If your remote team is US-based, across many states
> 
> 1. **Justworks** - where I'd start for teams under ~75 people. Clearest published pricing in the category and the least painful to run; multi-state registration and filings are handled without you becoming an expert. It's the provider most often shortlisted by smaller TriNet clients leaving for simplicity.
> 2. **Rippling PEO** - best if you want HR/IT/payroll in one system and want the option to un-bundle later. Software-first rather than advisory-first, and it's the same platform whether an employee is W-2, contractor, or international, which matters a lot for distributed teams. Strongest product ratings of the group (~4.8/5).
> 3. **Insperity** - pick this when benefits quality is the deciding factor. Consistently the best plan portfolio in the industry plus real strategic HR

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
