Remote pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives
Remote (remote.com) is a global employment platform. Monthly per-employee fees for employer of record and payroll, and monthly per-contractor fees for contractor management, with no separate platform fee.. No free plan.
What Remote costs
- 1 employee (EOR): $699/mo (Monthly billing: $699 per employee per month. PricingSaaS logs the monthly price rising from $669 (Oct 2025 capture) to $699 (Jan 2026 capture) and lists billing as $699/month monthly and $599/month annual. The official page's 'starts at $599 per employee per month' has no billing label and matches the annual rate, so it is not used as the monthly price. Flat fee, so the USD 5,000 salary does not change it; Germany is covered with no separate price; no platform fee or monthly minimum is published. Flagged 'from' because the official page says 'starts at'.)
- 10 contractors: $290/mo (Contractor Management at $29 per contractor per month x 10 = $290 (cheapest plan that allows 10 contractors; no cap, and no monthly minimum or platform fee is published). No per-payment fee or FX percentage is published, so nothing is added. The page does not label billing, but its terms are month to month. CostBench also lists $29 for its Basic tier (Aug 2026).)
Plan compared: Employer of Record (EOR), 1 employee, monthly billing. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12): the recurring employer-of-record fee for one employee in Germany, and the recurring fee to pay ten contractors abroad, with any percentage fee applied to a USD 5,000 monthly salary or USD 40,000 of monthly payments. Salaries, employer taxes, benefits, setup fees and card surcharges are left out, so the figures are platform costs rather than total cost of employment.
