Frequently Asked Questions
Deel's HRIS (HR information system) is free for up to 200 employees — including org charts, time off management and employee directory. Contractor management starts at $49/contractor/month. Employee of Record pricing is custom based on country and employee count.
Both are leading global HR platforms. Deel has a larger country coverage (150+), a more polished UI and stronger integrations. Remote is slightly more affordable for Employer of Record in some countries. Both are strong — Deel is generally preferred for scaling international teams due to its broader ecosystem and free HRIS.
