Powering HR for the World’s Top Employers
Top 3 reasons to choose Remote People over Revolut GlobalHire
Transparent Pricing
At list price GlobalHire costs roughly three times Remote People’s from-$199 rate: ten employees run about $71,880 a year versus $23,880, before exit fees. Revolut’s counterweight is interbank FX on salaries, which matters most if you pay into volatile currency pairs.
Holistic Support
Revolut the bank is heavily regulated, but GlobalHire the EOR product is three months old. Procurement teams will find little third-party evidence to review, and the employment work sits with unnamed partners.
Flexible Approach
That gap is baked into each vendor’s model, and no add-on closes it. If you still need to find the hire, GlobalHire’s $599 comes on top of a separate agency fee.

Revolut GlobalHire is the newest name on the EOR shortlist. Launched in April 2026 as part of Revolut Business, it lets companies hire employees in 160+ countries and pay them through the same account they bank with, with salaries converted at interbank FX rates. For teams already running their finances on Revolut, the pitch is obvious.
Remote People plays a different game: it operates entities across 150+ countries and acts as the accountable legal employer through them, prices EOR from $199 per employee/month, caps the security deposit, folds recruitment into the same relationship, and onboards new hires in 48 hours. This guide weighs a banking platform’s new EOR bet against a specialist, on the criteria that decide a procurement.
Which platform is better in 2026?
Best overall
Remote People
The pick for most teams: entities in 150+ countries, pricing from $199/mo, capped deposits, built-in recruitment and 48-hour onboarding, with up to 12 months of exit fees covered when you switch.
Best for
Revolut GlobalHire
Teams already running their finances on Revolut Business that want hiring, payroll billing and interbank FX in one app, and are comfortable with a partner-run employment model from a three-month-old product.
Choose Remote People if…
- You want the legal employer to be your provider's own entity, not an unnamed local partner.
- Pricing from $199/employee/month and a capped deposit matter to your cash flow.
- You still need to find the hire, and want sourcing handled by the same provider that employs them.
- You need contractors handled too: management from $29/mo, Contractor of Record from $199/mo.
Choose Revolut GlobalHire if…
- Your company already banks on Revolut Business and wants one app for money and hiring
- Interbank-rate salary FX is a priority and your countries are on GlobalHire's list
- You are comfortable with a product launched in April 2026 and a partner-run employment model
What you’re really comparing
Where GlobalHire is genuinely strong. If your company already runs on Revolut Business, GlobalHire puts hiring inside the app you use for money. Salaries convert at interbank rates within your plan allowance, which Revolut claims saves up to 5% versus the FX markups some EOR vendors charge. Onboarding is quoted at 2 to 5 days, and there is nothing to integrate because you are already in the ecosystem.
The trade-off. Revolut is not the employer. Its own terms say all employment services are performed by licensed partners, and those partners are not named publicly. The fee schedule also stacks on the way out: an offboarding fee of one month on every exit, another month if you terminate within the first 90 days, $250 per work permit, and no prorated months. There is no contractor product, no published SOC 2 or ISO certificate for GlobalHire, and no G2 track record; the product is three months old.
What you are really weighing is an accountable legal employer with predictable costs against the convenience of hiring inside your banking app. The sections below take it criterion by criterion.
Remote People vs Revolut GlobalHire, criterion by criterion
Pricing and total cost of ownership
Remote People: From $199 per employee/month, with built-in sourcing and recruitment available and a capped deposit.
Revolut GlobalHire: $599 per employee/month ($1,199 in Saudi Arabia and Qatar). Months are not prorated, work permits cost $250, and offboarding carries a fee.
Balanced view. At list price GlobalHire costs roughly three times Remote People’s from-$199 rate: ten employees run about $71,880 a year versus $23,880, before exit fees. Revolut’s counterweight is interbank FX on salaries, which matters most if you pay into volatile currency pairs.
Verify in demo: Ask Revolut for the full fee schedule for your countries: base fee, offboarding, early termination, work permits, and what happens to pricing if you downgrade your Revolut Business plan.
Country coverage and the entity model
Remote People: 150+ countries, operating its own entities across its core footprint, so your provider is the accountable legal employer.
Revolut GlobalHire: 160+ countries claimed. 100% partner-run; Revolut’s terms state it does not act as an employer, and the partners are not named publicly.
Balanced view. Country count is a shortlist input, not a compliance guarantee. With GlobalHire you cannot currently see who the legal employer in your country will be until you are deep in the sales process, and Revolut disclaims responsibility for partner failures in its terms.
Verify in demo: Ask Revolut to name the legal employer of record in your top three markets, in writing, before you sign.
Security deposits and cash flow
Remote People: Capped deposit on EOR Flex; zero deposit on EOR Plus (annual). Your exposure stays predictable even for senior hires.
Revolut GlobalHire: The “no upfront deposit” headline applies to eligible Revolut Business customers after an internal assessment. Others can be asked for a deposit.
Balanced view. Deposits are the hidden cash-flow line in EOR. GlobalHire’s waiver is conditional on Revolut’s own eligibility check, so you will not know your terms until underwriting is done.
Verify in demo: Ask whether your account qualifies for the deposit waiver, and what the deposit is if it does not.
Onboarding speed
Remote People: New hires live in 48 hours; the employee signs digitally and the local compliance clock starts immediately.
Revolut GlobalHire: 2 to 5 days advertised, executed by the local partner in each country.
Balanced view. Separate software onboarding from legal registration. GlobalHire’s slick signup still hands the actual employment to a partner, which adds a hop between you and the entity doing the work.
Verify in demo: Ask Revolut to distinguish time-to-first-hire from time-to-steady-state compliance in your specific country.
Recruitment and sourcing
Remote People: Built-in sourcing and recruitment: Recruit + EOR at 2% of annual salary spread over 12 months, so you can find and employ the same hire through one partner.
Revolut GlobalHire: No recruitment. GlobalHire employs people you have already found.
Balanced view. That gap is baked into each vendor’s model, and no add-on closes it. If you still need to find the hire, GlobalHire’s $599 comes on top of a separate agency fee.
Verify in demo: If you still need to hire the headcount, ask Revolut what sourcing support exists before you add an external recruiter.
Switching and exit costs
Remote People: Covers up to 12 months of exit fees when you switch, which de-risks moving your existing team over.
Revolut GlobalHire: Charges an offboarding fee of one month’s fee on every exit, plus an early-termination fee of another month within the first three months.
Balanced view. GlobalHire is the only vendor in this series that publishes a fee for leaving on every single offboard. Model your realistic churn before comparing sticker prices.
Verify in demo: Ask Revolut for the all-in cost to offboard one employee after 12 months, in writing.
Support, security and procurement proof
Remote People: Dedicated account specialist; SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, with a public trust center.
Revolut GlobalHire: In-app support through Revolut Business. No GlobalHire-specific SOC 2 or ISO certification published, and no G2 reviews yet.
Balanced view. Revolut the bank is heavily regulated, but GlobalHire the EOR product is three months old. Procurement teams will find little third-party evidence to review, and the employment work sits with unnamed partners.
Verify in demo: Ask both vendors for the DPA, audit-log access, and the exact escalation SLA for a payroll-blocking error reported on a Saturday.
Which platform is better by company stage?
Seed / early stage Remote People
The from-$199 price and capped deposit protect runway, and recruitment is built in so you don't also pay an agency to find the hire.
Series A / B Remote People
As you spread across countries, its own entities and covered switching costs beat betting multi-country compliance on a three-month-old product.
Mid-market / global ops Depends
Remote People for accountable employment and predictable economics; GlobalHire if your finance stack is Revolut and FX savings dominate your math.
Which platform is better by buyer role?
Founder / COO Remote People
Lower, predictable cost and one partner from sourcing through employment.
CFO / Controller Remote People
From $199, capped deposits and covered exit fees are easy to forecast. If FX spread is your biggest line item, price GlobalHire's interbank rates against it.
Head of People Depends
Recruit, onboard in 48 hours and manage the lifecycle through one accountable provider.
Legal / Compliance Remote People
A named legal employer you can diligence, versus unnamed partners and terms that disclaim employer status.
IT / Procurement Compare
Weigh the Revolut ecosystem against certifications, references and a track record you can actually review.
Talent / Recruiting Remote People
Built-in sourcing and recruitment that GlobalHire does not offer at all.
Questions to ask Remote (Remote.com) in a demo
The sticker price on a slide rarely matches your 12-month invoice. Before you sign with either vendor, pin down the answers that actually drive cost and risk:
- Who exactly is the legal employer in each of our target countries, and will you name them in the contract?
- Does our account qualify for the deposit waiver, and what is the deposit if it does not?
- What is the all-in cost to offboard one employee after 12 months, including the offboarding fee?
- What happens to our EOR service and pricing if we close or downgrade our Revolut Business plan?
- Provide GlobalHire-specific security documentation: SOC 2 or ISO status, the DPA, and the escalation SLA for a payroll-blocking error on a weekend.
