Searching for a global HR solution? Although OysterHR concentrates on EOR, its ancillary features are fairly limited. By contrast, Remote’s more advanced suite of global employment tools supplies everything required to assemble an international team.
End-to-end HR suite
Remote combines advanced employee management, payroll, and contractor management solutions.
EOR-centric solution
Oyster offers a solid EOR product, but its payroll and contractor management features are more limited in scope.
100% owned entity infrastructure
Remote manages all global entities in-house, with no third-party outsourcing.
Mixed ownership model
Oyster operates using a mix of third-party vendors and owned entities.
Consistent global support experience
Remote’s in-country expertise means specialist support in every country we operate in.
Third-party support providers
Oyster HR offers in-house support where they operate local entities, but uses external providers in others.

“Remote has become a leading, trusted partner in this sector. Their specialist assistance with local payroll, tax compliance and HR operations has rationalised our internal procedures and created fresh opportunities for international growth and success.”
“Had we been required to manage and co-ordinate everything in-house, it would cost us well over $500,000 more each year. Remote not only removes that financial burden but also lifts the operational load from our shoulders, enabling us to concentrate on growing the business with confidence and efficiency.”
“Each month, twice a month and on an hourly basis we run payroll in a variety of currencies across the globe, and our finance manager has a consolidated view within a single platform. Remote makes that possible.”
“We collaborate with over 460 contractors worldwide. Managing compliance, administration and payroll internally would have meant taking on five to six full-time staff. Remote has unquestionably saved us both time and money.”

Relative to Oyster’s feature set, Remote delivers a complete solution backed by industry-leading expertise and dedicated support.
Remote’s fair price guarantee ensures no hidden charges and no upfront deposits, so you’ll never have to pay ffor anything unexpected.
Unlike Oyster, Remote administers each global entity in-house to maximise compliance and reduce risk.
100% ownership and operation of all entities
At Remote, we don’t work with any third-parties to outsource services or manage entities — ensuring one consistent, global experience.
No upfront deposits by default
Remote only requests reserves when absolutelynecessary, so you can maximizeyour cash flow.

Dedicated CSM for every customer
Every one of Remote’s EOR customers gets access to their own dedicated support.
Dedicated mobile app
Remote users describe the in-built employee mobile app as “a great plus”, allowing seamless expense management, time-off tracking, and more.
Equity tools to issue grants to your team
Remote is the only global HR platform which allows companies to issue equity to their team members.
Built-in tools for simplified global hiring
Remote Recruit's powerful sourcing tools and real-time talent insights to help you find top talent quickly.
Oyster’s EOR solution covers the basic requirements of global hiring, yet its payroll and contractor management offerings are more restricted in scope and capability. For the complexities of international employment, a trusted partner is essential.
A single hub to manage an entire global team
Streamlined payroll and expense management for all employees
Contractor management services across more than 200 countries and territories
Oyster relies on a combination of local partners and third-party entities, which creates extra manual work and elevates compliance risk. Because Remote operates its own legal entities in-house, you can be confident of full compliance from the outset.
100% in-house entity infrastructure and operations
Uncapped indemnity cover to provide full protection when using Remote
Dedicated local market expertise in every location we operate in
When your EOR partner controls the entity that employs your team, it...
Reduces your company’s IP exposure to multiple parties
Enables quicker onboarding of employees
Eliminates hidden or unexpected pass-through fees
Ensures a more consistent global experience with a single point of contact
Oyster applies fees for benefits administration and routinely requires upfront deposits, while its 5-day payment terms are unnecessarily inflexible. Only Remote provides a fair price guarantee, so you’ll always know what you’re paying for.
Fully transparent pricing with no additional charges
A single monthly fee with at least 14 days to settle your invoice
A full refund of management fees within 90 days if you are not satisfied

While Oyster outranks many rivals, Remote is widely regarded as the leading global employment platform on G2 — comfortably outscoring competitors for customer satisfaction.
Building effective relationships with your contractors requires more than just paying them on time. Oyster’s contractor management solution mainly handles payments and lacks features such as time and attendance tracking, clock-in/out functionality, invoice scheduling, or locally compliant contract generation.
Using Remote, you can administer the full contractor lifecycle from first contact to project completion; smart onboarding simplifies induction and built-in compliance safeguards reduce the risk of misclassification. Plus, you’ll never pay a penny for inactive contractors.
Work with contractors in 200+ countries and territories
Bring contractors up to speed quickly with automated onboarding
Create, edit, and sign tailored, localised contracts
Approve invoices instantly with one click or auto-pay
Oyster HR assists you hire globally, but the first step in international growth lies in identifying the right talent. Unlike Oyster, Remote is not just an EOR — it functions as a comprehensive global employment network, enabling you to source, attract, hire, and manage the world’s best global talent from a single place.
Remote Recruit simplifies global hiring with robust sourcing tools and clear guidance to locate top talent and navigate international complexity — enabling you to act swiftly, hire more intelligently, and scale with confidence.
Identify the best locations to hire using data on talent availability, salary averages, and compliance requirements.
Instantly surface best-fit candidates for your roles with AI-powered matches
Describe your ideal hire, and AI scans 800M+ profiles to find the best matches in seconds.
Remote offers simple, transparent pricing — you’ll pay $699 per employee per month when billed annually. Contractor management is $29 per contractor. Oyster offers similar pricing, but lacks our fair price guarantee, and charges additional fees for services such as benefits administration. Oyster also uses third-party entities in many of the countries it operates in, which may incur further charges.
Remote is built as a dedicated global employment partner, with services purpose-built for payroll, EOR, and contractor management. Oyster has a solid EOR offering, but its payroll and contractor management products provide limited features and support, leaving less functionality and flexibility for teams aiming to expand internationally.
Switching from Oyster to Remote is straightforward, and our team can have you set up on the Remote platform within just 24 hours. Simply get in touch and you can say goodbye to Oyster HR and begin onboarding your first employee with Remote without delay.
