Remote.com Pricing in 2026: EOR, Contractors, Payroll and PEO, Dated

6 min read

Base list prices checked Oct 15, 2026 on Remote’s pricing page; deposit and annual-billing notes rechecked Oct 19, 2026 on the same page. All prices in USD. No affiliate links on this page (how we work). This is pricing information, not legal or tax advice.

Remote.com pricing is the tab you open when you’ve already decided “we need an employer of record” and now you want the bill before sales gets on the call. The short version:

• Employer of Record (EOR): from $599 per employee a month, 90+ countries, no setup fee.
• Contractor Management: $29 per contractor a month (Plus $99; Contractor of Record $325).
• Global Payroll: $29 per employee a month.
• US PEO: $99 per employee a month.
• Startup offer: 15% off EOR and Contractor Management for the first 12 months (pre-seed to Series A).

We haven’t run payroll through Remote. Everything below is what its own pricing page prints. For the head-to-head with Deel, see Deel vs Remote instead of repeating that table here.

TL;DR by situation

• One hire abroad, no local entity: start with EOR from $599/employee/mo. Get a country-specific quote, because “from” means your market might cost more.
• Contractors only: Contractor Management at $29/contractor/mo is the cheap seat. Plus at $99 if you want more hand-holding. COR at $325 if classification risk is the thing keeping you up.
• You already own the entity: Global Payroll at $29/employee/mo.
• US employees on a PEO: Remote lists US PEO at $99/employee/mo.
• Pre-seed to Series A: take the 15% off EOR and Contractor Management for 12 months if you qualify. That’s the discount the page actually prints.

Remote price table

List prices in USD, as remote.com/pricing showed them on Oct 15, 2026 (base) and Oct 19, 2026 (deposit / annual notes).

Product	Price	Billing	Includes	Source
EOR	From $599	Per employee/mo	90+ countries; no setup fee	Remote pricing
Contractor Mgmt	$29	Per contractor/mo	Contracts, invoices, payouts	same
CM Plus	$99	Per contractor/mo	Higher-touch contractor tier	same
COR	$325	Per contractor/mo	Provider holds the contract	same
Global Payroll	$29	Per employee/mo	You own the local entity	same
US PEO	$99	Per employee/mo	US PEO list price	same
Startup offer	15% off	First 12 months	EOR + Contractor Mgmt; pre-seed to Series A	same

Salary, employer taxes and benefits sit on top of every EOR and PEO line. The platform fee is not the cost of employing someone. Shocking, we know.

Employer of Record: from $599

Remote’s EOR legally employs your hire in their country, runs local payroll and benefits, and bills you a monthly platform fee on top of salary. The published start is from $599 per employee a month, across 90+ countries, with no setup fee (Remote pricing, checked Oct 15, 2026).

Two traps in that sentence:

1. “From” is doing work. Budget around a written quote for the country you’re hiring in, not the homepage number.
2. The fee is not the whole bill. Local employer costs depend on the country. The pricing page doesn’t print per-country surcharges as a table, so ask.

If Remote is one name on a longer list, our best employer of record guide compares starting EOR prices across the field (Pebl from $399, Papaya from $499, Deel and Remote at $599, Oyster at $699, and so on).

Contractors: $29, $99 and $325

This is where Remote’s menu is clearer than a lot of the category.

• Contractor Management — $29 per contractor a month. Contracts, invoices, payouts. The everyday “pay freelancers abroad” plan.
• Contractor Management Plus — $99 per contractor a month. The middle step when $29 feels thin and $325 feels like overkill.
• Contractor of Record (COR) — $325 per contractor a month. Remote holds the contractor relationship and takes on more of the classification risk.

For the playbook on paying people abroad without an EOR, see how to pay international contractors. If your whole team is freelancers, the $29 row matters more than the $599 row. Do the math with your actual headcount before you get romantic about “one platform for everything.”

Global Payroll and US PEO

Global Payroll is $29 per employee a month when you already have the local entity and just need someone to run payroll. Same list price Deel prints for global payroll — see Deel pricing for Deel’s fuller add-on menu.

US PEO is $99 per employee a month on Remote’s page. That’s the lowest US PEO figure we had on the Deel/Remote comparison page when we checked both vendors. Still get the plan name on the order form.

Startup offer: 15% for 12 months

Remote for Startups: 15% off EOR and Contractor Management for the first 12 months, for companies from pre-seed to Series A. Under that same block the page also says no deposit or setup fees for the startup offer (Remote pricing, checked Oct 15, 2026; still listed Oct 19, 2026).

On a single EOR hire at $599, 15% off for a year is about $1,078 saved on list price before salary and taxes ($599 × 0.15 × 12). Confirm eligibility in writing; “Series A” is a stage, not a vibe.

What the page doesn’t list

We rechecked remote.com/pricing on Oct 19, 2026 for the gaps founders always ask about:

Gap	Finding (Oct 19, 2026)
Annual-billing %	Not published. No “X% off annual” figure on the page.
Standard deposit	FAQ: “We don’t charge a standard deposit or deposit fee.” In certain cases Remote may require a refundable reserve for employment obligations (not a fee; funds remain yours; amount confirmed in onboarding if it applies).
Setup / platform fees	No setup or onboarding fees; Remote Platform included at no extra cost.

Country surcharges and FX margins still aren’t a public table. Ask for the all-in monthly cost per employee in writing for each country on your list.

For Oyster’s take on the same category (including its refundable deposit rule), see Oyster HR pricing.

Here’s what I’d do

1. Get a country quote for every market you’re hiring in. Treat “from $599” as a floor, not a promise.
2. Ask in writing: any reserve, any FX margin, any country uplift beyond list, and whether the 15% startup offer applies to your stage.
3. If you’re mostly contractors, price the $29 / $99 / $325 ladder against Deel’s $49 / $325 and ignore the EOR marketing until you actually need an employee.
4. Put Remote next to Deel on Deel vs Remote and one cheaper EOR from the best employer of record roundup before you sign anything that runs payroll for a human who has rent due.
