## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "PEO for remote teams" splits into two genuinely different products, and picking the wrong one is the main way people waste money here. A true PEO co-employs your **US** staff across states. If your people are in other countries, you need an EOR (often marketed as "global PEO"). Here's who I'd name in each case.
> 
> ## US-based remote team (multi-state)
> 
> **1. Justworks** - my default for small distributed teams. Transparent published per-employee pricing instead of a custom-quote dance, it takes companies as small as two employees, and it absorbs the state registration/withholding work that makes hiring your fifth employee in a fifth state annoying. Least friction for a 5-50 person remote company.
> 
> **2. Rippling PEO** - pick this if you're tech-forward and already want HR, payroll, benefits, device management, and app provisioning in one system. The pull is unified onboarding/offboarding automation (including laptops and accounts for people you'll never meet), and you can later move off the PEO to standalone Rippling payroll without changing systems - a real exit-cost advantage over Justworks and TriNet.
> 
> **3. TriNet** - the one to shortlist at roughly 25-500 US employees, or in regul
