Remote provides straightforward, transparent pricing — you’ll pay $699 per employee per month when billed annually. Contractor management is $29 per contractor. While Oyster lists similar rates, it does not include our fair price guarantee, and applies extra charges for services such as benefits administration. Oyster also relies on third-party entities in several countries it serves, which may lead to further charges.
Remote is purpose-built as a dedicated global employment partner, offering tailored services for payroll, EOR, and contractor management. Oyster provides a solid EOR product, but its payroll and contractor management offerings have limited features and support, reducing flexibility for teams aiming to expand internationally.
Migrating from Oyster to Remote is straightforward; our team can have you configured on the Remote platform within 24 hours. Simply get in touch and you can leave Oyster HR behind and begin onboarding your first employee with Remote promptly.
