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

Multiplier

Stands out: A published per-employee EOR number, which is still uncommon in this category, plus contractor and payroll SKUs beside it.

Watch out: The $459 figure is the Core annual employee fee, not all-in employment cost. Some countries price off-list, and Growth is higher.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only headcount
  • Enterprises that need a custom global payroll OS more than a flat EOR fee

Pros and cons

Deel

  • Employer of record, payroll and contractors from one vendor
  • Published prices for contractors, EOR and US PEO

  • Not an ATS

Multiplier

  • Published Core EOR fee instead of a pure quote
  • APAC coverage without standing up local entities
  • Separate contractor and payroll-only SKUs
  • Country exceptions sit on top of the headline fee
  • Integration list is not published in detail
  • Not a recruiting system
