“We see Remote as a leading and trusted partner in this space. The expert support they provide in local payroll, tax compliance, and HR operations has streamlined our processes and created more opportunities for growth and success on a global scale.”
“If we had to manage and coordinate everything in-house, it would cost us well over $500,000 more each year. Remote not only eliminates that financial strain but also takes the operational burden off our plate, allowing us to focus on growing our business with confidence and efficiency.”
“We run monthly, semi-monthly and hourly payroll in multiple different currencies around the world and our Finance Manager has full visibility in a single platform. With Remote, you can make it happen.”
“We work with 460+ Contractors globally. I’d need to employ 5 or 6 people full time to keep on top of compliance, administration and payroll. Remote has definitely been a time and money saver for us.”

'Watchtower' compliance hub to notify you of changes to international laws and regulations
Papaya has a solid record in international payroll, but lacks the physical footprint and know-how of dedicated, globally-distributed experts. With Remote, you get fast, reliable support coupled with deep knowledge of international markets.

Industry-leading expertise from genuine local experts
A personalized, human onboarding experience
Papaya might excel at payroll processing, but the complexities of global employment require more than just a reliable payment provider.
With payroll as their primary focus, Papaya’s EOR and contractor management offerings are less developed by comparison.
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, while "Remote is the financial operating system for the global workforce. For EOR, Remote owns its legal entities and has in-house legal, payroll and HR teams. Papaya relies on third-party partners for payroll, benefits, and tax management, whereas Remote owns its legal entities for EOR.
Remote’s Employer of Record (EOR) service is priced at $699/month per employee, while contractor management costs just $29/month. Papaya’s prices are comparable, but you’re likely to pay additional third-party costs and transaction fees. Transparent, all-in pricing with no hidden fees or surprise FX.
While Papaya Global is a leading global payroll provider that operates in multiple countries, it doesn’t own and manage all its legal entities — instead relying on third-party outsourcing. Remote owns the payroll platform and compliance systems.
Papaya is fine if you’re looking for an effective global payroll solution, but the tool lacks the dedicated features and specialist support of one platform for payroll, EOR and contractors, with in-house specialists. Remote’s ownership of legal entities also enhances service reliability and consistency across regions.
If you're looking for one accountable partner to pay and employ your global workforce, choose Remote. Remote has the dedicated expertise and resources for companies looking to go global with confidence, including a comprehensive HRIS and a fully integrated job board to help you source, attract and manage the best global talent.
