Deel vs Remote EOR Pricing in 2026: Which Costs Less?
If you're choosing between Deel and Remote for an international hire, the EOR management fee is an obvious place to start.
Deel currently lists its Employer of Record service at $599 per employee per month. Remote lists $699 per employee per month on monthly pricing, or $599 per employee per month when paid annually.
That makes the basic price comparison fairly straightforward:
Deel has the lower published price if you want month-to-month billing. With Remote's annual pricing, the published management fee is the same $599 per employee per month.

Deel: $599 per Employee per Month
Deel's public EOR price is $599 per employee per month. Its pricing page says month-to-month pricing is available without a required long-term commitment.
At the published rate:
1 employee:
$599 × 12 = $7,188 per year
5 employees:
$599 × 5 × 12 = $35,940 per year
Deel says its EOR fee covers employee onboarding and local compliance, payroll processing and tax filings, benefits administration, and ongoing HR and legal support.
For a company that wants month-to-month pricing, the published fee gives Deel a $100-per-employee monthly advantage over Remote's standard monthly rate.
Remote: $699 Monthly or $599 With Annual Pricing
Remote's standard EOR price is $699 per employee per month.
Remote also publishes an annual option at $599 per employee per month when paid annually.
At the monthly rate:
1 employee:
$699 × 12 = $8,388 per year
5 employees:
$699 × 5 × 12 = $41,940 per year
At the advertised annual rate:
1 employee:
$599 × 12 = $7,188 per year
5 employees:
$599 × 5 × 12 = $35,940 per year
Remote's support documentation also notes that some customers may have different commercial terms through an Order Form, including committed arrangements or negotiated discounts.
So the public pricing is useful for comparison, but it may not be the final offer every customer receives.
What Does the $100 Monthly Difference Add Up To?
Comparing Deel with Remote's month-to-month pricing:
$699 − $599 = $100 per employee per month
For one employee, that's:
$1,200 per year
For five employees:
$6,000 per year
That's worth considering if monthly flexibility matters.
But the difference disappears when Remote's advertised annual $599 rate is compared with Deel's published $599 rate.
At that point, the published base management fee is equal and other costs and terms become more important.
The Management Fee Isn't the Whole Bill
A matching $599 headline price does not mean two final invoices will necessarily be identical.
The EOR management fee is only one part of the cost of employing someone internationally.
Depending on the country and employee, the final bill may also include:
Salary
Employer taxes
Statutory contributions
Mandatory benefits
Optional benefits
Country-specific allowances
Currency conversion
Other employee-specific costs
That's why the best comparison is not simply "$599 versus $599."
You want both providers to quote the same employee, in the same country, with the same salary and benefits.
Currency Costs Can Change the Comparison
Currency is one area where the headline management fee does not tell the whole story.
Remote says that when an invoice item is in a currency different from the customer's preferred billing currency, it converts the amount using the Remote FX rate. That rate can vary over time and by currency pair.
Remote also supports non-local currency salaries for EOR employees in selected countries.
If a company actively chooses that arrangement for an eligible employee, Remote currently charges an additional $50 per employee per month.
That fee does not apply to every Remote employee. It applies only when the non-local currency salary option is specifically requested in a supported country.
Deel also should not be treated as automatically having zero currency-conversion cost. Deel says it provides competitive exchange rates and multiple payment methods with minimal fees, rather than saying every FX transaction is free.
If currency matters for your hire, compare the actual exchange-rate and payment terms in both quotes.
What About Deposits?
Remote's pricing page says upfront deposits are generally not required.
There is an exception.
Remote says it may collect a reserve payment in rare, high-risk situations. Its documentation describes these reserves as financial protection that can help cover employment-related obligations.
So it would be too broad to say that Remote never requires any reserve.
For most buyers, the practical question is simple: ask whether any reserve payment applies to the specific employee and country in your quote.
Which Costs Less for One Employee?
With month-to-month pricing:
Deel: $7,188 per year
Remote: $8,388 per year
Difference: $1,200 per year
With Remote's advertised annual pricing:
Deel: $7,188 per year
Remote: $7,188 per year
At that point, the published management fee is equal.
Which Costs Less for Five Employees?
With monthly pricing:
Deel: $35,940 per year
Remote: $41,940 per year
Difference: $6,000 per year
Using Remote's advertised annual rate:
Deel: $35,940 per year
Remote: $35,940 per year
Once the published management fee is the same, the more useful comparison becomes the actual country-specific quote.
Deel or Remote?
If your priority is the lower published month-to-month EOR fee, Deel has the advantage at $599 versus Remote's $699.
If annual pricing works for your business, Remote's advertised rate drops to $599, removing the headline price difference.
So the useful comparison is:
Deel — $599 per employee per month with month-to-month pricing available
versus
Remote — $699 on monthly pricing or $599 when paid annually
Before choosing either provider, ask both companies to quote the same employee using the same:
Country
Salary
Benefits
Currency setup
Billing structure
That comparison will tell you more than the advertised management fee alone.
