Summary
Pick Remote for standard EOR seats: $699/mo across ~90 owned markets, self-serve onboarding in 2–5 days, and a clean employer-liability chain. Flip to CXC Global when you need MSP + EOR + contractor payroll under one enterprise vendor across 100+ countries with custom quoting.
Pick or Skip Guidance
- Pick Remote if: you want published $699/mo pricing, owned entities in every covered market, and a modern self-serve platform for 5–50 international employees.
- Pick CXC Global if: you already run (or plan) MSP / contingent workforce programs and need EOR bolted onto that operating model, not a standalone SaaS EOR.
- Skip Remote if: your primary need is high-volume contractor/MSP orchestration with VMS integrations (Fieldglass, Beeline) rather than full-time EOR seats.
- Skip CXC Global if: you need transparent list pricing, self-serve contract generation, or a startup-friendly onboarding path without account-management gating.
- Pick neither if: you want mid-market speed plus contractors on one stack (Deel), or partner breadth under $500/seat (Multiplier, Remofirst).

Pricing
Remote publishes $699/mo per employee. Volume deals at 20+ seats often land near $450–$525/mo. Contractor seats are separate (~$29/mo on public materials).
CXC Global does not publish a list fee. Enterprise contingent programs are quoted by headcount mix, country set, and whether you need MSP, AoR, EOR, or all three. Expect a multi-week procurement cycle and opaque line items until you see a statement of work.
15-person scenario: 15 full-time EOR employees across UK, Germany, and Australia. Remote at list $699: $125,820/year in platform fees before FX and deposits. CXC only wins this scenario if those 15 seats sit inside a larger MSP/contractor program where consolidating vendors saves more than the fee delta. If you are buying plain EOR seats, Remote is the cheaper and clearer quote.
Entity Model
Remote owns the employer entity in every market it covers. Your German hire is employed by Remote’s local entity. Auditors get a short liability chain.
CXC uses a mixed model: owned capacity in core markets (Australia, UK, Germany among public focus markets) and partners in the long tail. That is workable for enterprise contingent programs that already accept partner layers. It is a weaker story when legal asks for owned employers everywhere.
Ask both vendors for entity names, registration numbers, and who signs the employment contract in each launch country before you award the RFP.
Coverage and Workforce Model
Remote covers ~90 countries with a deliberate owned-entity map. Fine for Western Europe, major APAC hubs, and the Americas. Weak if you need thin long-tail markets Remote has not entered.
CXC covers 100+ countries with deeper contingent-workforce muscle: contractor classification, MSP program design, and VMS hooks. Client retention claims sit near 98% on company materials. Program scale often runs 30 to 3,000 workers, not a five-seat startup pilot.
If your headcount is mostly W-2/EOR employees and a few contractors, Remote is the product. If half your international workforce is contingent and you already speak MSP language, CXC is the category fit.
Platform and Day-to-Day
Remote is built for self-serve: contract generation, payroll visibility, expense flows, and HRIS integrations without a ticket for every hire. That matters when People ops wants to onboard without waiting on a CSM.
CXC is account-management led. Reporting and analytics often route through the CSM. The platform feels dated next to Remote, Deel, or Rippling. That is acceptable when the buying center is procurement and workforce programs, not a lean People ops team living in the dashboard.
Who Should Pick CXC Global
- Enterprises consolidating MSP, AoR, and EOR with one vendor
- Buyers who need Fieldglass or Beeline integrations for contingent intake
- Programs of 30+ workers where custom SOWs beat list-price SaaS
- Teams that already trust CSM-led delivery over self-serve UX
Who Should Pick Remote
- Mid-market companies hiring 5–50 employees abroad on owned entities
- Buyers who need published pricing and 2–5 day onboarding
- Tech and product teams that care about IP assignment chains
- Orgs whose HR stack is Greenhouse, HiBob, or BambooHR
eorHQ Final Verdict
These vendors solve different RFPs. Remote is a modern owned-entity EOR. CXC Global is a contingent-workforce operator with EOR attached.
If your search query is “EOR for full-time international employees,” start with Remote. If your search query is “MSP + EOR for a mixed contingent and employee program,” start with CXC. Do not force a SaaS EOR into an MSP-shaped problem, and do not buy opaque enterprise contingent pricing for five remote engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CXC Global cheaper than Remote?
Not in a way you can verify from public list prices. Remote is $699/mo. CXC is quote-only. Ask for an all-in monthly cost for the same role, country, and salary, including FX and deposits, before you compare.
Can CXC replace Remote for a 10-person SaaS team?
Usually no. You will wait longer for onboarding, lose self-serve workflows, and still not get a published fee. Remote (or Deel) fits that buyer better.
Does Remote offer MSP services like CXC?
Remote is EOR- and contractor-first, not an MSP/VMS platform. If MSP is the core requirement, shortlist CXC, Safeguard-class vendors, or a dedicated MSP, then add EOR where needed.
Which is better for Australia and UK hiring?
Both cover Australia and the UK. Remote wins on owned-entity clarity and speed for standard seats. CXC wins when those markets sit inside a multi-country contingent program already managed by CXC.
