Remote: The Global-first Rippling alternative

Tens of thousands of companies rely on Remote’s global footprint and unparalleled in-house expertise to employ, contract, and pay anyone, anywhere. Rippling may offer comprehensive features, but as a multi-purpose tool it simply can’t solve the unique complexities of global HR like Remote.

Hire internationally with Remote

We built Remote because other providers outsourced their services, meaning compliance was often an afterthought. Our unique approach to compliance means we never rely on third parties — we operate everything in-house from day one, meaning maximum compliance and minimum risk.

Discover Remote’s compliance credentials

We have real people ‘on the ground’ in every country we serve — meaning you not only get fast, human support when you need it, but it comes with unique local market knowledge that you don’t get with a one-size-fits-all solution. Don’t settle for generalized support — get dedicated, specialist guidance at every step.

Connect with Remote's support team

Only Remote provides fair pricing and a satisfaction guarantee — we don’t charge for inactive users, integrations, or expenses, and we offer a full refund on all EOR management fees in the first 90 days if you’re not satisfied. In comparison, the Rippling pricing model is shrouded in mystery, with no guarantee of a predictable, transparent invoice.

• Simplify global employment with fully transparent pricing.

• Hire an employee in any country we support for just $599 per month.

• Pay contractors through Remote for just $29 per month.

Remote is considered the leading global employment platform based on G2 reviews — comfortably outscoring every other competitor in the niche for customer satisfaction, including Rippling.

While Rippling is the ‘allrounder’ of HR software, Remote’s quality of localized expertise and depth of strategic support is unmatched. 

Remote gives you a comprehensive software platform purpose-built for multi-country teams. In addition, you get access to the knowledge and guidance of Remote’s team of international employment experts. 

Global HR is just one minor arm among Rippling’s many services while, in contrast, every aspect of Remote’s HR platform has been carefully designed to minimize the complexity of hiring, paying, and managing across countries.

Fit for purpose vs one-size-fits all 

Rippling boasts a broad suite of features as part of its all-in-one HR solution, but global HR is a new service built onto Rippling’s existing product.

Remote has always been laser-focused on helping customers to power international expansion, with features tailored specifically for remote and hybrid team management.

When you’re dealing with the complexities of global recruitment — adapting to local labor laws, tax regulations, and legal compliance — you want a dedicated expert partner on your side.

• Remote’s dedicated onboarding specialists will get you started in minutes.

• Our local market expertise is built into the product to give you strategic guidance on where and how best to hire

• We manage compliance obligations on your behalf, so you can minimize risk and grow globally with confidence 

• Remote prioritizes security at every stage of the employment process, with rock-solid IP and data protection mechanisms 

While many of Rippling’s reviews praise its ease of use, a significant number rate the platform’s poor customer support as one of its primary shortcomings — with a lack of availability and a tendency to focus on upselling over solution-finding.

Remote, on the other hand, is more than a software solution: our customers love the specialized, expert support we offer at no extra cost, with every business assigned their own dedicated contact and support available 24/7 via chat or email. 

Rippling’s service doesn’t even include support and advice as standard — meaning you’ll pay additional costs for legal counsel, HR advice, and more — while with Remote, first-rate support doesn’t depend on how much you pay.
