Searching for a global HR solution? OysterHR concentrates on EOR, but its extra features are narrow in scope. Remote supplies a more advanced suite of global employment tools, giving you 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.

One hub for managing an entire global team
Streamlined payroll and expense management for every employee
Contractor management services in more than 200 countries
Oyster relies on local partners and third-party entities, which adds manual steps and increases compliance risk. Since we manage our legal entities in-house, you can be confident that you operate with full compliance from day one.

Uncapped indemnity coverage for full protection when using Remote
Dedicated local market expertise in every location we cover
When your EOR partner controls the entity that employs your team, it...

Although Oyster’s offering outperforms many competitors, Remote is recognised as the leading global employment platform on G2 reviews — comfortably outscoring rivals for customer satisfaction.
Developing strong contractor relationships demands more than timely payment. Oyster’s contractor management primarily handles payments and lacks features such as time and attendance tracking, clock-in/out functions, invoice scheduling, or locally compliant contract drafting.
With Remote, manage the full contractor lifecycle from initial contact to project completion, using intelligent onboarding tools to simplify induction and in-built compliance safeguards to reduce misclassification risk. Plus, you will never be charged 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 supports hire globally, yet the initial stage of international expansion is identifying the right talent. Rather than being only an EOR, Remote is a full global employment network, enabling you to source, attract, hire, and manage the world’s best global talent from a single place.
Remote Recruit streamlines global hiring with robust sourcing tools and practical guidance to identify top talent and handle global complexity—so you can move quickly, hire smarter, and scale with confidence.
Discover 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 deliver 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, providing purpose-built services for payroll, EOR, and contractor management. Oyster’s EOR is solid, but its payroll and contractor management products provide limited features and support, so the platform lacks the depth and flexibility teams need to scale internationally.
Switching from Oyster to Remote is straightforward; our team can have you operational on the Remote platform within 24 hours. Simply get in touch and you can retire Oyster HR and begin onboarding your first employee with Remote without delay.
