Pricing, side by side

Both providers publish an Employer of Record price per employee per month and a set of adjacent products. The table above puts the two EOR prices on the same hire; the differences below are the ones that change the invoice.

Deel lists its EOR at $599 as a “starting at” price, in 130+ countries per its pricing block. Around it sit a $49 contractor plan, a $325 contractor of record and a $125 US PEO. The pricing page describes “competitive exchange rates” without a percentage and does not state a deposit policy.

Remote lists its EOR from $599 per employee per month for annual contracts, with no shorter-term price published, in 90+ countries, with no minimum headcount and no standard deposit or deposit fee; a refundable reserve payment may be required in certain circumstances. Salary paid in a currency other than your billing currency is converted at “the Remote FX rate”, shown per line on each invoice. Contractor management is $29, Contractor Management Plus $99, contractor of record from $325, US PEO from $99, global payroll $29.

Where the money actually goes

On one hire, the fee is a minority of the total. The countries table shows the same employee priced through each provider in every country this site covers, except Myanmar, where neither publishes a page: statutory employer charges are identical for both, so the all-in difference is always the fee gap, before deposits, FX and add-ons.

Who each one fits

Choose on the terms you will actually sign, not the headline. If you will run contractors and employees together, Deel’s published prices for both are the practical advantage. If you can commit to an annual contract and want a no-deposit policy and a stated FX rule, Remote’s page gives you more to hold the quote against.

Get both quotes for the same scenario.

Send each provider the same salary, country and headcount, and ask for the deposit, the FX rule and the mandatory add-ons in writing.

Questions people ask before booking a demo

Is Deel cheaper than Remote for an EOR employee?
On the published price, no: both start at $599 per employee per month. Deel's is a 'starting at' figure with no contract term stated, so it can be higher in some countries; Remote's $599 is for annual contracts, and no shorter-term price is published. Both sit on top of the same salary and statutory employer charges.
Does Remote or Deel charge a deposit?
Remote states on its pricing page that it does not charge a standard deposit or deposit fee; in certain circumstances it may require a refundable reserve payment, with the amount confirmed during onboarding. Deel's pricing page does not state a deposit policy; ask for it in the quote.
Which one publishes annual pricing?
Remote does: its pricing page, read 3 November 2026, prices EOR from $599 per employee per month for annual contracts and publishes no shorter-term price. Deel's page states 'starting at' pricing without a contract term. Remote lets you choose the billing currency; ask both for the terms of the contract length you need.
