Deel vs Magnit Global

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

Starting price

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

Magnit Global

Sales-quoted

Magnit Global is a contingent workforce provider that combines a vendor-neutral managed service program with its own VMS, direct sourcing and EOR, and it fits large employers that want the program run for them. Pricing is quote-only, and even the Magnit Pulse add-on is sold as a tiered annual subscription. Buy it when you want services and software together, not just a tool.

Where Magnit Global fits

  • Enterprises that want an MSP and VMS from one provider
  • Programs that need contingent pay rate benchmarking
  • Microsoft Teams organizations wanting in-chat approvals
  • Companies adding EOR or direct sourcing to a staffing program

Where they pull apart

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

Magnit Global

Stands out: Magnit is the rare provider that sells a vendor-neutral MSP and its own VMS as one package, backed by Pay Intelligence rate benchmarking. Magnit Pulse puts every VMS approval type, from timecards to batch billing, into Microsoft Teams adaptive cards, and Magnit says most programs go live on it within a week.

Watch out: No prices are published for any Magnit service. Magnit Pulse is currently limited to Microsoft Teams and API deployment, and it is available to Magnit VMS clients only.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only want VMS software and will run the program in-house
  • Small companies with a few contractors

Pros and cons

Deel

  • Employer of record, payroll and contractors from one vendor
  • Published prices for contractors, EOR and US PEO
  • MCP and API available
  • The advertised entry price is not the employer-of-record cost
  • The $599 EOR fee sits on top of salary and benefits
  • Not an ATS

Magnit Global

  • MSP, VMS, EOR and direct sourcing from one provider
  • Pay Intelligence benchmarking built into hiring decisions
  • Magnit Pulse removes VMS logins for hiring managers
  • No published pricing for any service
  • Pulse limited to Teams and API at launch
  • Heavier than needed for programs that only want software
