Hi Pete — Pierre from RemotePeople here, so fair warning: I'm biased. A few things worth weighing more than any "top 5" list: country coverage (owned entities vs. subcontracted partners in the countries you're hiring), pricing transparency (flat per-employee fees vs. FX markups and deposits), compliance ownership (who's liable if a misclassification issue comes up), and support speed (what happens when payroll goes wrong on the 28th). We're rated Leader in EOR on G2 with the category's highest NPS, but the reviews here are the best gut-check. Happy to answer specifics if useful.
