Our five criteria for EOR

Each provider’s EOR score is the weighted mean of these five criteria, each on a 0–10 scale. The weight shows how much a criterion counts.

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

Where the difference comes from

The EOR price is the same at the start, so the choice rests on the rest of the offer. Remote states that it employs through entities it owns and publishes its customer terms; Deel claims a wider reach, says it owns entities in most of its countries and does not say which ones run through a partner. Deel adds a US PEO and more support channels, while Remote charges less per contractor and lists payroll for countries where you have your own entity.

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.
