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

Worksuite

Stands out: Built for companies that pay many freelancers and contractors, with onboarding, payments and compliance in one platform.

Watch out: No published price. The Core plan is priced on a 30-minute call, and it covers contractors, not W-2 employee payroll.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers running W-2 payroll
  • Buyers who need a published price
