RemotePeople report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for hiring and recruiting abroad from one provider
RemotePeople employs people for you in 150+ countries, runs payroll where you already have a company, and can recruit the hire too. Its standard employer-of-record rate starts at $499 a person, under the usual $599. But every price is a starting rate settled in a proposal, and it's web only.
Who RemotePeople is for
- Great if you want the recruiting and the employing done by one firm
- Handy when your hire is in a country and salary band that qualifies for $199 EOR Select
- Good for teams moving off another EOR, with up to 12 months of fees back
Who RemotePeople is not for
- Skip it if you want a firm price up front, as every fee is confirmed in a proposal
- Not for you if you want a phone app, as the listing shows web only
- Tight if cash is short, as a security deposit may be set in the proposal
Why RemotePeople gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyGraded against the other employer-of-record services: EOR Global starts at $499 a person a month, $2,495 for five, $100 a head under Deel and Remote. EOR Select is $199 in some countries and salary bands. Final fees come in a proposal.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial. Companies switching from another EOR get a 30-day money-back guarantee and up to 12 months of fees back, but that isn't a trial.
- BFeaturesEmployer of record in 150+ countries, global and US payroll for your own entities, contractors paid in 120+ currencies, contractor of record, in-country recruiting, visas and a US PEO. The whole job of hiring abroad.
- CEase of useNo App Store rating on record. A Command Center takes pay changes and leave requests in plain English, but every plan starts with a proposal and payroll funding terms.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no app in the listing, and the only links on record are exports to QuickBooks and Xero.

Keep RemotePeople, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace RemotePeople you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 16 of the 18 other payroll services grade higher. It costs $300 a year.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. RemotePeople’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
