Deel and Remote both publish an EOR starting price of around US$599 per employee per month (Remote's applies to annual billing; its monthly-billing rate is higher). For most single hires, the headline fee will not decide between them.
The clearest documented difference is the delivery model. Remote states that it employs people through entities it owns in the countries it serves. Deel publishes country-by-country information and, like most large providers, the model can vary by country. Ask both for written confirmation for the countries you hire in.
The other difference is breadth. Deel positions itself as a broad platform spanning EOR, contractors, global payroll, HRIS and immigration support. Remote also offers contractor management, payroll and HR tools, with emphasis on employment through owned entities and public country cost information.

- Annual billing suits you and you want predictable pricing
- What is the all-in monthly fee for my specific countries, on annual and monthly billing?
- Do you employ through your own entity or a partner in each country?
- What deposit is required, and how and when is it refunded?
- What currency conversion margin applies to invoices?
- How are benefits, termination costs and offboarding billed?
- Is there a fee for transferring employees to our own entity later?
