“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.”

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.
Specialist 24/7 support at no extra cost, on any pricing plan
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 a dedicated global employment solution, offering HR and recruitment tools that Papaya does not. Papaya relies on third-party partners for payroll, benefits, and tax management, whereas Remote owns legal entities in each country of operation, providing greater control and compliance.
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. Remote’s fair price guarantee ensures maximum cost-efficiency and transparency.
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 operates a 100% owned entity infrastructure, and is rated as a superior multi-country payroll provider to Papaya based on G2 reviews.
Papaya is fine if you’re looking for an effective global payroll solution, but the tool lacks the dedicated features and specialist support of a comprehensive global employment platform like Remote. Remote’s ownership of legal entities also enhances service reliability and consistency across regions.
If you’re looking for a dedicated global HR partner rather than just a payroll provider, opt for 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.
