The Problem Both Platforms Share
Both Omnipresent and Remote.com are built for Employer of Record (EOR) services—hiring full-time employees internationally. This makes sense if you need:
- Local payroll compliance
- Benefits administration
- Employment law coverage
- HR infrastructure in multiple countries
But if you're working with independent contractors who handle their own taxes and already have Wise/PayPal accounts? You're paying for infrastructure you don't need.
With both platforms charging around $29/contractor/month, a team of 10 contractors costs $290/month—just to move money and store contracts.
A Different Approach: Kontrable
We built Kontrable specifically for businesses working with contractors (not employees):
- Direct payments: Pay via your Wise/PayPal/Payoneer (no middleman)
- $99/month flat: Up to 25 contractors (vs $290 on EOR platforms)
- Contractor-focused: Contracts, invoices, milestones, payment tracking
- No EOR fees: Because you're hiring true independent contractors
Instead of routing payments through a platform, you pay contractors directly via Wise, PayPal, or your bank. Kontrable keeps the audit trail: contracts, milestones, approvals, payment proofs, and contractor confirmations—all in one place for finance and operations.
What You Get:
- Milestone-based contracts with approval workflows
- Payment tracking with proof attachments
- Contractor portal for deliverables and confirmations
- Clean exports for finance reconciliation
- No per-contractor fees or payment processing markups
Who Should Choose What
Choose Omnipresent if:
You need to hire full-time employees in countries where you don't have a legal entity, and you value dedicated HR support and strong compliance infrastructure.

You need a comprehensive platform for both employees and contractors with strong compliance features and a clean user interface, and you're willing to pay platform fees.
Choose Kontrable if:
You're working with 5-25 independent contractors who handle their own taxes, and you want to pay them directly while maintaining a clean audit trail—without paying $290/month in platform fees.
