Deel and Multiplier: our EOR criteria, each out of 10. How we score

Where the difference comes from

The two list prices rest on different terms. Multiplier’s lower EOR figure assumes an annual contract, and its own pages disagree on support hours, setup fees and cancellation. Deel’s higher figure comes with month-to-month terms and a wider set of support channels. Contractor of Record runs the other way: Deel’s list price is lower than Multiplier’s.

Deel

  • What does the data show about Deel as an Employer of Record?

    AI

    Deel lists EOR at $599 per employee a month and says pricing is month to month with no long-term commitment. Its pricing page claims EOR in 130+ countries and its country pages 150+; we document 106 countries + 3 territories. Own entities: 3 on company registers, 3 more stated by Deel. It holds its own SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

    What the data does not show

    Onboarding times appear for only five countries, from 1 to 10 days. Deel says it has no hidden fees but publishes no EOR setup, deposit or termination fee.

  • What are Deel's main drawbacks?

    AI

    Cost and fee disclosure. Fifteen of the 20 other US-dollar EOR list prices on this site sit below Deel's $599, and Deel gives no fee schedule for EOR setup, deposit or termination, though its pricing page says there are no hidden fees. Contractor of Record costs $325 a month plus a deposit of one month's pay.

    What the data does not show

    Trustpilot reviewers also mention delayed or held payouts and unresolved support requests. This is our reading of recurring review themes, not a tally.

Multiplier

  • What does the data show about Multiplier as an Employer of Record?

    AI

    Multiplier lists EOR from $459 per employee a month on an annual contract and $499 monthly. Its EOR guide claims owned entities in 160+ countries; we list 125, 106 with a country page or register entry, and 2 own entities on company registers. Its EOR terms are public; SOC 2, SOC 3 and ISO 27001:2022 are its own.

    What the data does not show

    The data has no fixed deposit, setup or termination fee. Multiplier calculates the deposit per contract, and about 11% of countries have adjusted prices.

  • What are Multiplier's main drawbacks?

    AI

    Its pages contradict each other on support hours (24/7 or 24/5), on setup fees (none, or an implementation fee as applicable) and on term (cancel anytime, or order forms that renew for 12 months). The refundable deposit is set per contract, and the $400 Contractor of Record price is above the 7 other US-dollar COR prices we compare.

    What the data does not show

    The data cannot say which of the conflicting terms applies. The order form signed with each client sets the fees and the term.
