Remote

Visit
Multiplier

Visit

Remote publishes EOR pricing of US$699 per employee per month; Multiplier publishes US$459 on its Core plan, billed annually. On headline fees, Multiplier is about a third cheaper.

Remote's main documented differentiator is that it states it employs through its own entities in its EOR countries. For Multiplier, confirm the delivery model country by country.

If several of your hires are in Asia-Pacific, Multiplier's regional focus may be relevant. If you hire in countries where the employment structure matters legally, such as Germany, Spain or France, Remote's owned-entity statement is worth weighing against the price difference.

Is Multiplier cheaper than Remote?
On published starting prices, yes: US$459 (billed annually) vs US$699. Compare full quotes including deposits, FX margins, benefits and offboarding for your countries.
Which is better for Europe?
Both cover Europe. In countries with strict rules on supplying workers (Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands), ask each provider how it employs locally. See our country guides.
