Remote publishes EOR pricing from about US$599 per employee per month on annual billing and states that it employs through its own entities. Rippling prices EOR as part of a modular, quote-based platform covering HR, payroll, IT and finance.

If your domestic team already runs on Rippling, adding international employees there keeps HR, devices and app access in one system. If you're building an international team from scratch, Remote's published pricing and country information are easier to compare.

For Rippling, ask for the EOR cost separately from other modules so you can compare like for like.
