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.

Where the difference comes from
Deel is built around global hiring and sells it with a public price list and named support channels. Rippling is an HR and payroll suite that added EOR, contractors and global payroll, and it quotes each on request. That shows in what is published: Rippling shows its security reports and integrations in detail, and Deel shows prices and support options. If you need to know the cost or the support terms before a call, Deel’s pages answer more of it.

| Notes | — | Custom quote only; the pricing page gives no EOR price. The 80-country figure is from a Rippling blog post updated June 2025; the EOR product page states no count. Rippling Spain SL is in the Spanish company register, but its registered purpose is software and IT services, so Spain is not counted as an own EOR entity. |

AI summary
Written by an AI model from the data on our pages on 15 Oct 2026. Not a recommendation, not our score, and not a quote from any assistant.
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.
Rippling
What does the data show about Rippling as an Employer of Record?
AI
A Rippling blog post updated June 2025 puts its EOR in 80 countries; 58 countries + 1 territory are documented here. Own entities: 0 on company registers and 2 stated by the provider. It quotes EOR prices on request only. Its security page names seven certifications and reports in its own name, including SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
What the data does not show
Rippling states no setup fee, deposit, contract term or termination charge. Support channels and hours are not stated; the EOR page says only that Rippling answers in under 30 seconds.
What are Rippling's main drawbacks?
AI
Price and support disclosure. Rippling gives no price for EOR, contractor management or global payroll, and no fee terms. Its pages name no support channels, hours or account manager. Its EOR reach rests on an 80-country figure from a June 2025 blog post, and only 2 of the 58 documented EOR countries have an own entity, both stated by Rippling.
What the data does not show
The developer documentation names a Global Payroll API but no EOR or contractor-payment API, so API coverage of those services is not confirmed.
