Head to head

Aniday vs Deel

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Aniday

$80/mo

APAC hiring and expansion platform: referral marketplace plus EOR, contractor of record, payroll and headhunting. Marketing shows from USD 80, but real EOR invoices run far higher.

Where Aniday fits

  • Employers hiring in APAC without a local entity
  • Teams that want success-fee headhunting, not a retainer
  • Companies adding EOR, contractor of record and payroll in one stack
  • Buyers comparing options against Deel in Asia

Deel

$49/contractor/mo

Global employer of record, payroll and contractor payments. EOR employees are $599 each per month and contractors $49; the $14 entry is the hiring module per worker.

Where Deel fits

  • Companies hiring in many countries without entities
  • Teams paying global contractors
  • HR organisations that also want a light hire module
  • Buyers who want MCP on employment data

Where they pull apart

Aniday

Stands out: Headhunter marketplace plus EOR in one vendor for cross-border hiring without an entity.

Watch out: The USD 80 figure is a marketing call-to-action, not a typical EOR invoice.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only payroll buyers
  • Teams that need MCP or a public API

Deel

Stands out: Hiring, contractors and employer of record in one global stack, with MCP and API.

Watch out: The $14 figure is the recruiting module, not the cost of employing someone abroad: employer of record is $599 per employee per month. Contractor of Record is listed at $325 and US PEO at $125.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only small-business payroll
  • Teams that need Deel to be the ATS of record
