Why it comes up: Boundless also pairs in-house attorneys with a case platform but focuses on growth-stage companies, with in-house teams in the US and five European countries.
Stands out: Boundless runs in-house teams in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Austria and coordinates partners elsewhere, invoicing in one currency. The platform syncs with your HRIS and flags immigration triggers when employee data changes.
Watch out: There is no public business rate card, and Boundless does not publish an API or name specific HRIS connectors. It does not handle litigation, removal defense or asylum, and its own site sells heavily to consumers, so check the business service scope in a demo.
Best for
- Startups and growth-stage companies sponsoring H-1B, O-1 and EB-1A talent
- Non-US companies moving employees into the United States
- US companies expanding immigration programs into Europe

Why it comes up: Velocity Global offers managed global employment and mobility, a fit if you also need to employ people abroad rather than only sponsor visas.
Stands out: Pebl is the current brand: managed EOR plus mobility, with a named ATS and payroll connector list, not a self-serve EOR calculator.
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.
Best for
- Companies that want managed EOR plus mobility in one relationship
- Teams already talking to Pebl after the Velocity Global rebrand
- HR that needs ATS-to-payroll connectors on a global employment stack

$49/contractor/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: Deel is an EOR, payroll and contractor platform, better when the main problem is hiring and paying people in other countries rather than immigration casework.
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.
Best for
- Companies hiring in many countries without entities
- Teams paying global contractors
- HR organisations that also want a light hire module
