Deel
Global EOR, payroll, and contractor payments.
From $49/contractor/mo MCP server API
Bottom line
Global employer of record, payroll and contractor payments. EOR employees are $599 each per month and contractors $49; the $14 entry is the hiring module per worker.
Stands out for: Hiring, contractors and employer of record in one global stack, with MCP and API.
Watch out for: 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.
Overview
Deel is global employment infrastructure: employer of record, payroll and contractor payments in one stack, so you can hire and pay people in many countries without standing up local entities. Deel IT covers devices for distributed teams. It is not an ATS. There is a hosted MCP at api.letsdeel.com plus an API.
Teams pick Deel when headcount is cross-border and the alternative is registering a local entity. The published $14 per worker per month covers the hiring module; contractor management is $49 per contractor per month, Contractor of Record is $325, US PEO is $125 and employer of record is $599 per employee per month.
