What our customers say
Join the customers who trust Remote to transform their businesses.
“If we had to manage and coordinate everything in-house, it would cost us well over $500,000 more each year. Remote not only eliminates that financial strain but also takes the operational burden off our plate, allowing us to focus on growing our business with confidence and efficiency.”
“Payroll is processed monthly, twice a month and hourly across several currencies worldwide, and our Finance Manager has complete oversight from a single platform. Remote makes this possible.”
“HomeProject works with more than 460 Contractors worldwide. To manage compliance, administration and payroll in-house I’d have to hire five or six people full time. Remote has genuinely saved us both time and money.”

Deel’s contractor management service covers 150 countries, while Remote’s is more extensive, more affordable and provides an unmatched compliance.
Remote’s Contractor Management suite offers three tailored plans to meet your business needs:
Contractor Management (A$44/active contractor/month): Manage and pay contractors with localised contracts, bulk payments, and self-serve onboarding. Compliance liability stays with you.
Contractor Management Plus (A$151/contractor/month): Includes all standard features plus a $100,000 compliance warranty, protecting against misclassification risks.
Contractor of Record (COR) (15% of contractor’s invoice or A$497/month minimum): Outsource all compliance and payment responsibilities to Remote, with indemnity and IP ownership guarantees.
With coverage in 200+ jurisdictions, Remote provides unmatched compliance, transparent pricing, and advanced tools like bulk invoicing and KYB/KYC checks. Unlike Deel, Remote’s affordable plans ensure you only pay for active contractors—no hidden fees or deposits.
Switch to Remote today and experience cost savings, risk reduction, and seamless contractor management.
Deel may offer an extensive post-employment platform, but Remote understands global growth begins with finding the right people.
With Remote Recruit, you can not only onboard high-performing remote teams but also source top talent for your global organisation, positioning your company as a leading destination for remote professionals.
Recruit simplifies global hiring with strong sourcing tools and clear guidance to help you find top talent and navigate international complexity—so you can move fast, hire smarter, and scale with confidence.
While Deel offers a slick platform and self-serve workflows, many customers report frustration with limited access to real support — especially for complex compliance or urgent payroll issues. With Deel, support can be costly, response times vary, and assistance is often outsourced or automated.
At Remote, exceptional support is included. Every customer has access to real people — not chatbots — and receives fast, consistent help from a dedicated team that understands your business.
What does this mean for you and your team?
You always have a real person’s email to contact for fast, human support.
You have one point of contact throughout your journey with Remote (our customer support team has a 95% retention rate).
You, your team, and former employees can rely on rapid, efficient problem resolution.
You pay absolutely nothing extra for this level of personalised support.
How does this compare to Deel?
Deel's support is often tiered — with faster or human responses gated behind more expensive plans.
You may face long response times, especially outside the US time zone.
Former employees often can’t get help — even for critical tasks like payslips or documentation.
Implementation support may cost extra or be handled by third-party consultants.
With Remote, premium-grade support is the default — not an upsell. No hidden fees. No guessing who to contact. Just answers when you need them, from experts you can trust.
Deel vs Remote FAQs
Both Deel and Remote use subscription pricing, but Remote’s approach is clearer and more predictable, backed by a fair price guarantee and a refund of EOR management fees within the first 90 days if you’re not fully satisfied. Remote doesn’t depend on hidden fees or complex charge structures.
Remote provides flexible, competitive benefits packages customised by country. For example, in the USA Deel supplies only two benefits plans with limited customisation, whereas Remote offers seven plans with flexible contribution levels. Remote also has lower entry rates and no hidden admin charges.
Remote delivers unified, fully compliant global payroll across multiple countries without the hidden fees that sometimes accompany Deel. Remote’s integrated payroll is dependable and compliant with local laws, so teams can focus on growth rather than admin headaches.
Switching from Deel to Remote is straightforward, with a dedicated migration team guiding you through onboarding, data transfer and compliance setup so the transition is smooth and minimally disruptive—often within 24 hours.
To make switching even easier:
We’ll cover any one-off fees Deel charges you to leave (subject to approval), such as their $390 USD per employee offboarding fee.
We’ll also provide one free background check per onboarded worker.
No hidden costs, no unnecessary barriers—just a trusted, compliant partner to help you grow globally with confidence.
