Remote vs Rippling: Pricing Comparison (2026)
Remote starts at $29/mo. Rippling starts at $8/mo. Rippling is $21/mo cheaper on the entry tier than Remote.
Global EOR and payroll platform positioned as the transparency-first alternative to Deel. Distinctive for CEO Job van der Voort's public commitment to open pricing (all EOR fees published) and slower, more compliance-first growth model. Priced from $29/mo (contractor management) up to $599/mo (EOR per employee). Popular with European companies hiring globally who value regulatory rigor over speed.
HR + IT + Finance platform, valued $13.5B private (2024). Founded by Zenefits founder Parker Conrad after his ouster. Positioned as the alternative to running Deel + Workday + Okta + Ramp separately — the "employee graph" as a single source of truth. Distinctive for its aggressive Deel litigation (September 2024 alleging trade secret theft) and rapid feature expansion. Priced $8-$14/user/mo base + per-module add-ons. Popular with fast-growing mid-market.
