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.
