A fair comparison for a European team whose hiring is focused on India.

Remote is a well-built global platform with a strong focus on data protection. Cyphertree is a specialist for one corridor: European companies hiring in India. For hiring spread across many countries, a global platform may fit better. For a team growing in India, here is an honest look at the difference.
| Dimension | Cyphertree | Remote |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | India specialist, Europe–India corridor | Global, many countries |
| Pricing | One flat, published: €250 per employee per month | By product and country |
| India payroll engine | Own, validated against a CA-approved model | Global provider network |
| Included | EOR, payroll, recruitment, accounting | EOR plus add-ons |
| Contract verification | Self-verifiable: eIDAS AdES + RFC-3161 timestamp | Standard e-signature |
| India DPDP | Built in, alongside GDPR | Part of a global program |
| SOC 2 / ISO 27001 | Not yet | Yes |
| Founder-direct support | Yes | No |
Where Remote is strong
Remote covers many countries, markets heavily on privacy and data protection, and holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. For a company hiring across regions, or one that needs those certificates in procurement today, that breadth and assurance are real advantages.
Where Cyphertree is strong
For the Europe–India corridor, Cyphertree goes deeper. Payroll runs on an engine validated against a chartered-accountant-approved model. The price is one flat, published figure, with EOR, payroll, recruitment, and accounting included. Contracts are signed to eIDAS Advanced Electronic Signature and independently timestamped, so a signed document verifies on its own. And you deal directly with the founder who built it.
An honest note on certifications
Remote holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001; Cyphertree does not yet. Where those are required, that matters. Cyphertree’s trust case rests on a Data Processing Agreement with EU Standard Contractual Clauses, database-level isolation, and verifiable contracts. See the security page.
