Why HR teams choose AYP

Learn more

$211/month lower EOR price. AYP's $488 vs Remote's $699 saves a 20-person APAC team roughly $50,000/year on EOR fees alone, before benefits or statutory costs.

Asia Pacific-specific PEO. AYP's PEO line covers APAC markets directly; Remote's PEO is US-only, so it doesn't help with regional hiring outside America.

Market-level expertise. AYP's advisors work inside the labour law of the market they cover, not a global owned-entity network spread across 90+ countries.

Where Remote fits better

Fully owned global infrastructure. Remote operates 100% owned entities with no third parties, which matters if your hiring spans many countries outside Asia Pacific.

Transparent no-deposit pricing. Remote states plainly that it doesn't charge upfront deposits except in rare high-risk cases — a genuinely strong policy.

Worth weighing: if your hiring is concentrated in Asia Pacific, Remote's global owned-entity network is capacity you're paying an extra $211/month global owned-entity network is capacity you're paying an extra $211/month

Choose Remote if

You're hiring across many regions worldwide and want a fully owned-entity platform with no third-party partners anywhere.

Use both if

You run Remote globally outside APAC and bring in AYP for the region. Most teams find this combination more cost-effective than routing APAC hires through Remote's global rate.
