The default way to hire and pay people in other countries without opening a local entity, with published per-worker prices, but expensive if all your team is in the US.
What it is
Deel hires, pays and manages people worldwide. Employer of record (EOR): Deel legally employs your hire in 130+ countries and runs contracts, payroll, taxes and benefits, from $599 per employee a month. Contractors: from $49 per contractor a month with payments in 120+ currencies, or $325 for Contractor of Record, where Deel takes on misclassification risk. Its US PEO starts at $125 per employee a month. Prices on deel.com/pricing, checked November 13, 2026. Software-only products are listed on the same page in dated captures from October and November 2026: Deel HR Core $5, Advanced $19 and Elite $29 per employee a month, and Deel Payroll US $29 per employee (self-service) for companies with fewer than 200 US employees. The free Deel HR tier for small teams no longer appears. Month-to-month terms, no free trial (demo only).
Best for
- Hiring employees abroad without a local entity (EOR)
- Paying international contractors compliantly
- Remote-first teams spread across many countries
What we like
- Published per-worker prices for EOR, contractors and PEO
- EOR in 130+ countries and payments in 120+ currencies
- One account for contractors, EOR, payroll and HR
- Month-to-month terms
What to watch
- EOR at $599 per employee a month adds up fast; your own entity is cheaper at scale
- US payroll at $29 per employee costs more than Gusto or OnPay for a US-only team
- No free plan or trial anymore, demo first
- Users report slow support and delays on contractor withdrawals
