Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“Remote and Papaya Global are the top recommendations due to their scalability, global coverage, and strong compliance features” Mistral Small · Global payroll · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“170+ countries; excels in payroll accuracy, unlimited runs, and employee support. G2 leader for EOR.” Grok 4.1 Fast · Global payroll · comparative prompt · first choice
“Remote is often preferred by B2B companies where legal risk mitigation is paramount.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Global payroll · direct prompt · first choice
“Fastest time‑to‑hire with entity‑owned reliability: Remote.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Global payroll · comparative prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“pricing can be high (also around $599 per employee per month) and that support may not be as responsive for smaller businesses” Mistral Small · Global payroll · negative prompt · soft negative
“Buyers have reported pricing opacity... issues with payroll errors, difficulty in updating PTO, subpar health plans in the US” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Global payroll · negative prompt · soft negative
“Remote lists a standard $699 per employee/month—likely harder to justify if minimizing the provider fee is your priority” GPT-6 Luna · Global payroll · budget prompt · soft negative
“premium global Employer of Record (EOR) providers like Deel, Remote, and Rippling...can quickly become cost-prohibitive” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Global payroll · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Remote. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 213 of the 225 answers that named Remote and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page remote.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as Remote
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Remote; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Remote's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Remote, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Remote by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Remote is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Remote, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
