“We regard Remote as a leading, trusted partner in this area. Their specialist assistance with local payroll, tax compliance and HR operations has simplified our workflows and opened up additional opportunities for growth and success internationally.”
“If we had to manage and coordinate everything in-house, it would cost us well over $500,000 more each year. Remote removes that financial pressure and lifts the operational workload from us, allowing us to concentrate on expanding our business with confidence and efficiency.”
“Payroll is processed monthly, semi-monthly and hourly in various currencies around the world, and our Finance Manager can oversee everything from a single platform. Remote makes that possible.”
“We engage over 460 Contractors around the world. I would otherwise need to hire five or six full-time staff to manage compliance, administration and payroll. Remote has unquestionably saved us both time and money.”

Papaya is known for international payroll, but it lacks the on-the-ground presence and specialist know-how of a geographically distributed team. With Remote, you receive fast, dependable support paired with deep international-market expertise.
Specialist 24/7 support at no extra cost, on any pricing plan
Industry-leading expertise from genuine local experts
A personalised, human onboarding experience
Papaya may be strong at payroll processing, but global employment brings additional complexities that go beyond payments alone.
Since payroll is their primary focus, Papaya’s EOR and contractor management capabilities are comparatively less developed.
At Remote, we know a flexible Employer of Record (EOR) and robust Contractor Management are just as crucial to international growth as an effective payroll system. And we have the dedicated, in-house expertise and resources to match our industry-leading global employment solutions.
When you choose Remote, you’re not just paying for another service provider — you’re investing in a partnership.
Papaya is a specialist global payroll software provider, whereas Remote is a dedicated global employment solution that includes HR and recruitment tools Papaya does not offer. Papaya depends on third-party partners for payroll, benefits and tax management; Remote owns legal entities in each country of operation, giving greater control and stronger compliance.
Remote’s Employer of Record (EOR) service is priced at S$940/month per employee, while contractor management costs just S$39/month. Papaya’s prices are comparable, but you’re likely to pay additional third-party costs and transaction fees. Remote’s fair price guarantee ensures maximum cost-efficiency and transparency.
Papaya Global is a recognised global payroll provider across many countries, but it does not own or manage all of its legal entities and instead relies on third-party outsourcing. Remote maintains a 100% owned entity infrastructure and is rated higher than Papaya as a multi-country payroll provider on G2.
Papaya can serve as an effective global payroll tool, but it lacks the specialist features and dedicated support of a full global employment platform like Remote. Remote’s ownership of legal entities also improves service reliability and consistency across regions.
If you want a committed global HR partner rather than just payroll, opt for Remote. Remote provides the expertise and resources for companies expanding globally, including a comprehensive HRIS and an integrated job board to help you source, attract and manage top global talent.
