Say Goodbye to Hidden FX and Slow Wires — Meet the Alternative to Gusto
Gusto is built for HR. SigmaRemote is built for speed.
Ditch hidden FX, slow wires, and admin friction. Switch to flat-fee global payouts your contractors actually prefer.
Side-by-Side on What Really Matters
Gusto
$35/month base + $6 per contractor
1–2.5% FX markup hidden in exchange rate — contractor receives less than what you send.
May incur $20–$50 in SWIFT/intermediary bank deductions — Gusto doesn't cover these.
2–5 business days depending on country, currency, and bank route.
No wallet support; payouts always auto-convert to local currency. Limited payout control.
HR-led setup with forms and contracts; W-8 BEN form collection.
S24/7 support available, but global contractor issues often face delays or canned responses.
Sigma
$18/month per active contractor — reduced rates for teams of 20+
0% FX with USD wallets; ~1% FX only if converting to local currency
$0 with USD wallet (no forced conversions)
1-2 business days, or instant with USDC. Optimized infrastructure
Contractors hold USD wallet, choose when and how to convert
<15 min mobile onboarding
Fast, human‑first support optimized for contractor payouts
