Remvix vs Remote
An owned-entity global EOR platform vs an India-specialist dedicated-team builder.
Remote has built its reputation on owning its legal entities outright in every country it supports — a compliance-first positioning that appeals to legal teams wary of third-party partner structures. Remvix solves a different and narrower problem: finding and hiring the right people in India, with employment compliance bundled into that service rather than being the product itself.
Pricing, country coverage, and feature details for third-party platforms are based on their public pricing pages and multiple independent review sources as of mid-2026, and may have changed. Always verify current details directly with the provider before making a decision. This page does not constitute an endorsement or criticism of any company named.
Remote is a global employment platform offering EOR, contractor management, and payroll, built around a 100% owned-entity model — no in-country partner firms standing between the company and the legal employer. This is a genuine differentiator among global EOR platforms, though it also means Remote's country coverage is narrower than competitors that supplement owned entities with partner networks; third-party reviews place its EOR footprint at roughly 80-90+ countries, growing over time, with some gaps in regions like parts of Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa as of when those reviews were published. Remvix's scope is India only, and the core service is sourcing and screening candidates — a layer Remote's product doesn't include.
The basics, side by side.
| Aspect | Remote | Remvix |
|---|---|---|
| Core business | Global EOR, payroll, and contractor-management platform built on 100% owned entities | India-focused recruiting and dedicated offshore team building, with compliance and payroll included |
| Primary buyer motion | Self-service: company sources candidates, Remote employs/pays them | Managed: Remvix sources, screens, and presents candidates; company selects from a shortlist |
| Country scope | Roughly 80-90+ countries for EOR (owned entities only — figures vary by source and change as Remote expands), broader for contractor payments | India only |
| Founded | 2019, Lisbon, Portugal | Operates as a Remotify company focused on India market entry since the brand's founding |
Remote's product is employment infrastructure delivered exclusively through entities it owns and operates directly — no third-party local employer in the legal chain, which simplifies the audit trail for compliance-conscious buyers. It includes IP assignment protection (branded as IP Guard) at no extra cost in many plans. Sourcing remains the customer's responsibility; Remote doesn't recruit candidates. Remvix's service begins one step earlier — sourcing and screening India-based candidates against the role — with employment and compliance bundled into the same engagement rather than sold separately.
What each one actually does.
Candidate sourcing
Not included — the customer sources candidates independently or via a separate recruiter
Included — Remvix sources, screens, and shortlists India-based candidates for the role
Remote solves legal employment with a strong compliance posture; Remvix solves legal employment and who-to-hire together.
Country coverage
Roughly 80-90+ countries for EOR, narrower than some competitors due to the owned-entity-only model
India only
Different scope by design, not a direct competitive gap in either direction.
Entity model
100% owned entities — no in-country partner firms in the legal chain
Remvix is the direct employer of record for India-based placements
Self-service vs managed
Self-service software platform
Managed service with a dedicated point of contact
IP protection
IP Guard feature included in many plans at no extra cost
IP assignment and confidentiality clauses included in standard employment contracts for India placements
Remote's EOR coverage, built entirely on entities it owns rather than partners, has been reported by third-party reviewers at roughly 80-90+ countries as of recent reviews — narrower than Deel or Oyster's partner-supplemented footprints, with some specific gaps noted in parts of Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central/Eastern Europe depending on when the review was published. Remote's contractor-payment coverage is broader, reaching well beyond its EOR footprint. Remvix's coverage is India only by design. Some companies pair Remvix for India-specific hiring with Remote for countries where Remote's owned-entity model is available and preferred.
How you'd actually use each one.
Remote's hiring approach, like other global EOR platforms, assumes the company sources its own candidates; Remote's role is to employ and pay them compliantly once identified, with a particular emphasis on the cleanliness of the legal employment chain. Remvix's approach starts with the role itself — sourcing and screening India-based candidates against the bar, delivering a shortlist typically within about a week, before the employment relationship is established.
When each option genuinely fits.
- Your legal or compliance team specifically requires owned entities with no partner-firm intermediary in any country
- You already have a recruiting function and need the employment/payroll layer only
- IP protection guarantees included at no extra cost are a priority
- Your target countries fall within Remote's current owned-entity footprint
- You're specifically building a team in India and don't have a sourcing pipeline there yet
- You want sourcing, screening, and employment handled by one team rather than coordinated across a recruiter and a separate EOR
- India-specific market knowledge matters more to you than the breadth of a multi-country owned-entity network
- You're building a multi-person dedicated team, not a single one-off hire
Remote publishes a flat per-employee monthly EOR fee, which third-party sources report in the high hundreds, consistent across most of its supported countries, separate from salary, employer taxes, and statutory contributions which vary by country. Remvix's pricing is quoted per engagement based on role, seniority, and scope — see our India salary and cost-to-hire guides for benchmark ranges. Always confirm current Remote pricing directly on their site.
Stated plainly, for both.
Remote
- 100% owned-entity model offers a cleaner legal chain than partner-dependent competitors
- Flat, consistent pricing across most supported countries simplifies budgeting
- IP protection features included in many plans at no extra cost
- — EOR country coverage is narrower than some competitors as a direct trade-off of the owned-entity-only approach
- — Does not source or vet candidates — that responsibility sits with the customer
- — Published platform fee is separate from salary, employer taxes, and statutory costs
Remvix
- Combines sourcing, screening, and employment in a single engagement for India hires
- India-specific market knowledge — salary benchmarks, city talent pools, notice period norms
- Single point of contact rather than coordinating a separate recruiter and EOR
- — India only — not a fit if you need multi-country coverage
- — Managed-service model rather than self-service software
When to choose each option.
Choose Remote if owned-entity-only compliance is a hard requirement for your legal team, your target countries are within its footprint, and you already have a way to source candidates.
Choose Remvix if your hiring need is specifically India and you'd rather have one team handle sourcing through employment than assemble a recruiter-plus-EOR pipeline yourself.
Common questions.
Is Remvix a competitor to Remote.com?+
Not directly in most cases. Remote is a multi-country EOR platform built on owned entities; Remvix is an India-only recruiting and dedicated-team service. Some companies use both — Remote for other countries, Remvix for India specifically.
Does Remote cover India through an owned entity?+
Confirm current coverage and entity structure directly with Remote, as this can change; third-party reviews note Remote's EOR footprint at roughly 80-90+ countries with some regional gaps.
Does Remote source candidates the way Remvix does?+
Generally no — Remote's core product is the employment and payroll layer once a candidate is identified. Sourcing is the customer's responsibility. Remvix's service starts with sourcing and screening.
Why does Remote have fewer countries than Deel or Oyster?+
Remote's owned-entity-only model (no in-country partners) is a deliberate compliance trade-off — it means slower expansion into new countries in exchange for a cleaner legal chain in countries it does support.
Can I use Remote and Remvix together?+
Yes. Some companies use Remvix specifically for India hiring and Remote for other countries where its owned-entity model is available and preferred.
Which is cheaper, Remote or Remvix?+
Not directly comparable, since Remote's fee covers payroll/compliance only while Remvix's quote includes sourcing and screening. Compare total cost for your specific scenario.
What is Remote's IP Guard feature?+
A feature some Remote plans include at no extra cost, providing IP assignment protection documentation. Remvix includes IP assignment and confidentiality clauses in standard employment contracts for India placements as part of its service.
What does Remvix do that Remote doesn't?+
Remvix sources and screens India-based candidates as a core part of its service. Remote's core EOR product doesn't include recruiting.
Is this page sponsored by Remote?+
No. This page is written by Remvix using publicly available information about Remote. We've aimed for fairness and accuracy; verify current details directly with Remote.
Is Remote's owned-entity model actually better than partner-based models?+
It depends on your priorities. Owned entities offer a cleaner legal chain and consistent service quality; partner-based models (used by some competitors) typically offer broader country coverage faster. Neither is universally 'better' — they're different trade-offs.
Can Remote build a dedicated India team for me?+
Remote's core product is employment infrastructure, not recruiting or team-building services. If you need a team sourced from scratch, that's outside Remote's core offering.
How do I decide between Remote and Remvix?+
If owned-entity compliance is a hard requirement and you already have candidates, Remote fits. If your need is specifically finding and hiring people in India, Remvix fits.
Your next great hire is in India. We'll find them.
