Their Pitch
HR + Payroll. Everywhere.
Our Take
It's global payroll that handles the nightmare of hiring people in 100+ countries without setting up legal entities in each one.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**You found the perfect candidate in Brazil but setting up a legal entity there would take 6 months** → Hire them in minutes, Remote handles all the local compliance and tax filing
- +**Your team is spread across 12 countries and payroll takes 3 days every month** → One-click payroll in 100+ currencies, everyone gets paid automatically
- +**You're getting fined for missing tax deadlines in countries you can barely pronounce** → AI compliance alerts warn you about regulatory changes before you mess up
- +Connects to other tools through their full programming interface - embed payroll directly into your existing HR system
- +AI scans expense receipts automatically - employees snap photos, system handles the rest
Best For
- >Your startup wants to hire that perfect developer in Romania but has no clue how Romanian payroll works
- >You're manually juggling payroll across 6 countries and your accountant is threatening to quit
- >Hit 50 employees across multiple countries and compliance violations are keeping you awake at night
Not For
- -Solo founders or small US-only teams — you're paying $29+ per employee for global features you'll never use
- -Companies wanting full control over local employment law — you're stuck with Remote's interpretation of compliance
- -Penny-pinching startups — the per-employee costs add up fast when you're watching every dollar
Pairs With
- *Slack (where performance reviews and team feedback actually happen instead of formal HR portals)
- *Zapier (connects Remote's payroll data to your 47 other business tools automatically)
- *Notion (where you'll document all your hiring processes since Remote handles execution but not strategy)
- *DocuSign (for employment contracts since Remote can't handle every legal document)
- *Stripe (processes the actual payments Remote calculates for international contractors)
- *QuickBooks (syncs payroll data for accounting since Remote does HR but your CFO needs the books)
The Catch
- !The $29/month per employee is just the starting price — contractor fees and country-specific costs pile on top
- !You're locked into their compliance decisions since they're the legal employer, not you
- !AI handles the routine stuff well but complex equity or unusual benefits still need human intervention
Bottom Line
Hire anyone anywhere without drowning in international tax laws and compliance paperwork.
