Pricing and coverage at a glance
One Global Payroll starts from $26 per employee per month compared to Remote's $29. Both offer transparent per-employee pricing. Through our partnerships, we also offer EOR from $360 per month, making the full package more affordable.
Our honest take
Remote has built a strong reputation in global employment, particularly for EOR and contractor management. They cover 186 countries and offer a polished product with owned entities in many markets, which gives them direct control over compliance.
That said, Remote's payroll pricing starts at $29 per employee per month, and their strength leans more toward EOR than standalone payroll processing. If you are primarily looking for a payroll provider that covers 150+ countries at a lower price point, One Global Payroll is the more focused and cost-effective option.
Through our partnerships, we also offer EOR and contractor management, so you are not giving up those capabilities by choosing us. You are simply getting a payroll-first provider with broader coverage at a better rate.
Our recommendation: Choose One Global Payroll if payroll processing is your core need. Choose Remote if you are heavily reliant on their EOR infrastructure and want everything from one vendor.

You prefer a single-vendor approach
If consolidating EOR, contractors, and payroll under one platform is your top priority, Remote covers all three natively.
