Remote Pad

What Remote Pad does

RemotePad is a London-headquartered, privately-held comparison and broker platform for Employer of Record (EOR) and Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services, founded in 2021 by a team of remote-work and HR specialists. The company targets businesses hiring internationally, helping them compare leading EOR providers (Remote, Deel, Papaya Global, Multiplier, Horizons, Skuad, Remofirst, and others) through side-by-side reviews, country-specific guides, and exclusive discount offers of up to 70%. Its core assets are content-led: a Global Payroll Calculator covering 80+ countries, a CountryPedia spanning 100+ markets with employment law and payroll tax information, and editorial-style provider reviews with scoring systems.

Underlying technology is web-based and lightweight: the platform is a content and comparison site built on WordPress-style CMS hosting, with proprietary tools limited to the payroll calculator and a misclassification check; there is no public API, SDK, or mobile app. Distribution is achieved through SEO-optimised guides, social channels (LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube), a newsletter, and a 'Request a Proposal' lead-capture funnel. The company monetises primarily via affiliate/referral commissions when users are routed to EOR providers, complemented by a vendor listing programme where EOR/PEO/HR software vendors pay for marketplace visibility. Operations are remote-first with team members across continents and a Hong Kong registered entity alongside the London headquarters.

Direct peers

• GetApp: GetApp is a B2B software comparison and review site (also Gartner-owned) targeting SMB buyers. It serves the same affiliate/lead-gen function as RemotePad and could readily expand into the EOR/PEO category RemotePad specializes in.
• G2: G2 is a leading B2B software and services review/comparison platform. It is the most direct analogue to RemotePad: both monetize via affiliate-style referral traffic, run verified reviews and side-by-side comparisons, and target buyers researching software/services purchases.
• Capterra: Capterra (a Gartner company) is a major B2B software review and comparison marketplace with category-specific buyer's guides. It overlaps directly with RemotePad's review/comparison/lead-generation model across HR and payroll software categories.
• Software Advice: Software Advice is a Gartner-owned B2B software advice and comparison site that connects buyers to vendors via reviews and lead generation. It is comparable in business model and audience to RemotePad.

Broad incumbents

• Trustpilot: Trustpilot is a global consumer-and-business review platform. While broader than RemotePad, it overlaps in hosting EOR/PEO provider reviews and could be a longer-term channel or competitive threat for comparison traffic.
• ADP TotalSource: ADP TotalSource is one of the largest US PEOs and a 'Best PEO' listing in RemotePad's reviews. It is comparable as a leading PEO in the same end-customer consideration set, even though it operates as a direct provider rather than a broker.
• Oyster HR: Oyster HR is a global employment platform focused on distributed-team culture and employee experience. It is a partner listed in RemotePad's comparisons and an incumbent EOR that competes for the same end-buyer audience.
• Remote: Remote is a compliance-first global EOR platform covering 90+ countries and a core affiliate partner of RemotePad. As Remote grows its owned content and brand presence, it represents both a key demand source and a disintermediation risk for the broker.
• Deel: Deel is a leading global EOR and payroll platform covering 150+ countries. It is one of RemotePad's core affiliate partners but also a direct competitive threat: as Deel invests in owned content and direct sales, it can disintermediate brokers like RemotePad.
• Papaya Global: Papaya Global is a global payroll and EOR platform noted for payment solutions. It is a core affiliate partner featured in RemotePad's reviews and a comparable EOR incumbent competing for the same international hiring buyer.
