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

Payoneer Workforce Management

Stands out: One platform for employees through EOR, contractors through AoR, and contractor management without a local entity.

Watch out: Pricing is a demo and quote. EOR coverage is 110-plus countries, while contractor tools go to 160-plus.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only payroll that does not need global EOR
  • Buyers who want a public per-employee rate

Pros and cons
