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.

  • 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.

  • Who should choose Deel?

    AI

    Teams hiring in many countries at once, companies whose workforce is mostly contractors, and those planning to move contractors onto payroll. Deel describes its customers as startups and global enterprises. Teams that choose an EOR on price alone, or need a PEO outside the US, should compare other providers first.

    What the data does not show

    Deel gives no company-size bands, so we do not map it to team sizes. It states no response target for support.
