Deel
Global payroll and compliance platform for hiring contractors and employees worldwide.
Overview
Deel is a global payroll and compliance platform for hiring contractors and employees worldwide. It handles global payroll, compliance, eor, and contractors, and it's best suited for companies hiring internationally without entities. It has been around since 2019, giving it a 7-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free for contractors — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits.
Strengths
- Includes Global Payroll as a core feature, purpose-built for hr & recruiting workflows
- Includes Compliance as a core feature, purpose-built for hr & recruiting workflows

- Ecosystem of third-party integrations is smaller than the market leaders in hr & recruiting
- Mobile experience lags behind the desktop version in features and polish
