Rippling introduced an EOR to its wide HR offering in 2023, whereas Remote has been delivering specialised global employment solutions for 5 years.
Remote has hundreds of in-house employment, tax, and legal specialists across the world, delivering expert support grounded in precise local market knowledge.
Remote’s dedicated legal teams monitor international legal and regulatory changes continuously, so our customers can be confident they are hiring compliantly, anywhere in the world.
Tens of thousands of companies rely on Remote’s global footprint and its unrivalled in-house expertise to employ, contract, and pay people anywhere in the world. Rippling may provide comprehensive features, but as a multipurpose tool it cannot resolve the specialised complexities of global HR the way Remote does.
Hire employees in at least 70 more countries than Rippling.
Unify all your employee data into a single, dedicated global HR platform.
Access a comprehensive library of expert global hiring guides, resources, and reports.
We created Remote because other providers often outsourced services, leaving compliance as an afterthought. Our distinct approach means we never rely on third parties — we operate everything in-house from day one, delivering maximum compliance and minimal risk.
Ensure full compliance with local laws when hiring overseas.
Safeguard personal data such as salary figures, addresses, and bank details.
Maintain rigorous security through accredited policies and procedures
We have real people on the ground in every country we serve — so you receive prompt, human support combined with unique local market insight that generic solutions cannot provide. Don’t accept one-size-fits-all support — benefit from specialist guidance at every stage.
Access 24/7 support at no extra cost, no matter what pricing plan you select.
Connect with real people, not a faceless web portal.
Experience personalised, human onboarding with a customer implementation expert.
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 $699 per month.
Pay contractors through Remote for just $29 per month.
Based on G2 reviews, Remote is widely recognised as the leading global employment platform — comfortably outscoring every competitor in the niche for customer satisfaction, including Rippling.
While Rippling functions as the all-rounder of HR software, Remote’s depth of local expertise and strategic support is unparalleled.
Remote provides a comprehensive software platform purpose-built for multi-country teams. In addition, you have access to the knowledge and guidance of Remote’s team of international employment experts.
Global HR is only one service among many in Rippling’s suite, whereas every element of Remote’s HR platform has been thoughtfully designed to reduce the complexity of hiring, paying, and managing teams across countries.
Rippling offers a wide array of features as part of its all-in-one HR solution, but global HR is a recent addition layered onto its existing product.
Remote has always been focused on enabling international expansion, with features crafted specifically for remote and hybrid team management.
When navigating the complexities of global recruitment — local labour laws, tax rules, and legal compliance — you want a dedicated expert partner by your side.
Remote’s dedicated onboarding specialists will get you started in minutes.
Our local market expertise is embedded in the product to provide strategic guidance on where and how best to hire
We manage compliance obligations on your behalf, so you can minimise risk and expand globally with confidence
Remote prioritises security at every stage of the employment process, with robust IP and data protection mechanisms
Although many reviews praise Rippling’s ease of use, a notable portion criticise the platform’s customer support for limited availability and a tendency to prioritise upselling over problem-solving.
Remote, conversely, is more than software: our customers appreciate the specialised, expert support we provide at no extra charge, with each business assigned a dedicated contact and support available 24/7 via chat or email.
What does this mean for you and your team?
You always have a named person’s email to contact for prompt, human support.
You keep one point of contact throughout your journey with Remote (our customer support team maintains a 95% retention rate).
You, your team, and former employees can rely on swift and effective problem resolution.
You incur no additional charges for this high level of personalised support.
How does this compare to Rippling?
Support is for admins only and unavailable directly to employees.
Access to support is only provided once funds have been wired to Rippling.
Terminated employees have no access to support.
Implementation can end up costing you an extra $10,000.
Rippling’s service does not include standard support and advisory as part of the package — meaning additional charges for legal counsel, HR advice, and more — whereas with Remote, exceptional support is not tied to how much you spend.
Pricing comparisons with Rippling are difficult because the platform doesn’t publish its costs up-front, meaning there’s little transparency over what you’ll pay. With Remote, each EOR employee costs $699/month (with no additional or hidden fees) while contractors can be onboarded and paid for just $29/month. All Remote’s prices are transparent and there are no hidden surprises.
Remote’s Employer of Record (EOR) service currently covers over 100+ countries worldwide, giving you wide access to global talent. Because Remote owns 100% of the entities it uses, customers retain full oversight and control with no risk of extra administrative fees.
While Rippling’s platform spans many HR areas, it is not a dedicated global employment solution like Remote. Remote’s purpose-built EOR, contractor management services, and payroll management solutions are tailored for global employers, making Remote a more specialised and cost-effective choice for companies aiming to scale internationally.
Switching from Rippling to Remote is straightforward, and our team can assist you to be live on the Remote platform within 24 hours. Simplyget in touchand you can say goodbye to Rippling and start onboarding your employees with Remote in no time.
