Higher EOR score: 7.8 against 7.4.
Best for: Startups, growing companies and enterprises, the three segments Pebl writes a page for
Read review (Pebl)Deel sells more than the four services we score here (Employer of Record, Contractor of Record, a US PEO and contractor management), alongside hiring, payroll, HR and IT products. Its EOR starts at $599 per employee a month; the pricing page claims EOR in 130+ countries and its country pages 150+. Its EOR and PEO pages mention 24/7 support but not who staffs it, and it holds its own SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.
Verdict
Best for
- Startups and global enterprises, in Deel's own words
- Teams employing staff in many countries at the same time
- Businesses whose workforce is mostly contractors
- Teams planning to move contractors onto payroll (Deel cites 110+ countries for this)
Not for
- Buyers picking an EOR mainly on monthly price
- Contractor of Record buyers who cannot fund a deposit of one month's pay per contractor
- Companies that need a PEO for staff outside the US
- Stands out
- Support and tooling: chat, email, WhatsApp and phone call-backs per a January 2025 Deel post, a dedicated onboarding manager for EOR, a public REST API and 200+ listed integrations.
- Biggest limit
- Cost. Of the 20 other US-dollar EOR list prices on this site, 15 sit below Deel's $599 and 4 match it. Deel's pricing page says there are no hidden fees but gives no fee schedule for EOR setup, deposit or termination.
