Compared with Oyster’s product set, Remote delivers a full-featured solution backed by industry-leading expertise and dedicated support.
Remote’s fair price guarantee ensures there are no hidden fees and no upfront deposits, so you’ll never shell out for anything unexpected.
Unlike Oyster, we manage each global entity in-house to ensure maximum compliance and minimal risk.

Oyster’s EOR solution handles the entry-level requirements of global hiring, but their payroll and contractor management solutions remain limited in scope and functionality. For the complexities of global employment, you need a trusted partner.
One hub for managing your entire global team
Streamlined payroll and expense management across your workforce
Contractor management services in more than 200 countries
Oyster relies on local partnerships and third-party entities, which introduces more manual work and raises compliance risk. Because we run our legal entities in-house, you can be confident you’re operating with full compliance from day one.
100% in-house entity infrastructure and operations
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...
Reduces exposure of your company’s IP to multiple parties
Enables faster onboarding of employees
Removes hidden or unexpected pass-through fees
Guarantees a more consistent global experience with one point-of-contact
Oyster charges for benefits administration and typically requires mandatory upfront deposits, while their 5-day payment terms are rigid. Only Remote provides a fair price guarantee, so you’ll always know what you’re paying for.
Fully transparent pricing with no additional charges
One flat monthly fee with 14 days or more to pay your invoice
Full refund of management fees in 90 days if you’re unsatisfied

Although Oyster’s offering outperforms many competitors, Remote is recognized as the leading global employment platform according to G2 reviews — comfortably ranking above other niche solutions for customer satisfaction.
Building effective relationships with your contractors requires more than punctual payments. 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 creation.
With Remote, you manage the full contractor lifecycle from initial contact through to project completion, with intelligent onboarding tools that simplify induction and built-in compliance safeguards that minimise misclassification risk. Plus, you’ll never pay a penny for inactive contractors.
Work with contractors in 200+ countries and territories
Bring contractors up to speed quickly using automated onboarding
Create, edit, and sign tailored, localized contracts
Approve invoices instantly with one click or auto-pay
Oyster HR assists you hire globally, yet the initial stage of international expansion starts with identifying the right talent. Unlike Oyster, Remote isn’t just an EOR — it’s a complete global employment network, enabling you to source, attract, hire, and manage the world’s top global talent all from one place.
Remote Recruit simplifies global hiring with powerful sourcing tools and clear guidance to help you identify top talent and navigate international complexity—so you can move quickly, hire smarter, and scale with confidence.
Discover the best locations to hire with 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 straightforward, transparent pricing — you’ll pay $699 per employee per month when billed annually. Contractor management is $29 per contractor. Oyster lists comparable prices, but does not provide our fair price guarantee, and applies extra fees for services such as benefits administration. Oyster also uses third-party entities in many countries it operates in, which may incur further charges.
Remote is built as a focused global employment partner, providing purpose-built services for payroll, EOR, and contractor management. Oyster has a capable EOR product, but its payroll and contractor management solutions offer limited features and support, so the platform lacks the detailed functionality or flexibility teams need to grow internationally.
Migrating from Oyster to Remote is straightforward, and our team can have you set up on the Remote platform within 24 hours. Simply get in touch and you can say goodbye to Oyster HR and begin onboarding your first employee with Remote in no time.
