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

Velocity Global

Stands out: Pebl is the current brand: managed EOR plus mobility at a published $399 per employee per month, with a named ATS and payroll connector list.

Watch out: Do not buy this as Velocity Global software you can subscribe to online. It is a services-led employment contract under the Pebl name.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a self-serve EOR checkout
  • Teams that only need contractor payments

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

Velocity Global

  • Managed EOR and mobility in one partner
  • Named ATS and payroll connectors on the Pebl integrations page
  • Fits desks that want white-glove employment, not a DIY entity
  • Final terms are quoted by country
  • Brand is now Pebl, so internal stakeholders may look for the wrong name
  • Not a self-serve contractor tool
