## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** Graded 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No 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.
- **Features: B.** Employer 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no app in the listing, and the only links on record are exports to QuickBooks and Xero.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
