About Deel

Deel is worth considering if you're hiring across borders and want to see list prices before speaking to sales. Companies that mainly need payroll for their own entities should request a quote, as that pricing isn't published.

✓Publishes list prices for its main products, which makes early budgeting easier
✓Offers several contractor options, from contractor management to Contractor of Record
✓Lists a free HR plan for up to 200 employees
✕Global payroll for your own entities isn't priced publicly — you need a quote
✕Some services, such as Contractor of Record, are priced separately from the base plans
