Both Deel and Remote charge the same $599/month for EOR — but the similarities end there. Remote wins on pricing for contractor-heavy teams ($29/mo vs Deel's $49/mo) and offers free Core HRIS. Deel wins on platform breadth, speed, and all-in-one integration — especially if you need hardware provisioning, visa management, or Contractor of Record services in the same dashboard.

Choose Deel if you're building a global team and want a single platform to handle EOR, contractors, payroll, visas, and hardware without juggling vendors. Choose Remote if your primary use case is contractor management (the $29/mo rate is the best in the market) and you value 100% direct entity ownership for maximum IP protection. Most fast-growing startups will end up on Deel; cost-conscious or contractor-heavy teams will find Remote the better deal.
