Alternatives to Deel, on verified figures

Deel's advertised employer of record price is currently the highest verified figure in this index, which makes the alternatives question mostly a pricing question: every vendor below publishes a price on its own page, and several advertise the same product category at a third of Deel's figure. The table ranks them by advertised starting price, with Deel's own verified figures shown above for the like-for-like view.

How to read the alternatives

Splitting the list into tiers makes it legible. At the premium end, Remote and Oyster advertise prices near Deel's with comparable platform breadth, so switching between them is a features-and-countries decision rather than a budget one. At the index median sits Papaya Global, priced between the tiers with a payments-infrastructure pedigree. The value tier, RemoFirst, RemotePeople and Skuad, advertises starting prices at roughly a third of Deel's figure and openly markets the gap.

A cheaper advertised price is a real saving only if the vendor is strong in the countries you hire in. Every vendor row links its price source, and the country pages on this site link each vendor's own guide per market, which is the fastest way to pressure-test a shortlist built on price.

Common questions

What is the cheapest Deel alternative with a published price?
The table above ranks the alternatives by advertised starting price; the value tier currently starts at the index minimum shown, roughly a third of Deel's advertised figure, with the source and date beside it.
Is switching EOR vendors mid-employment possible?
Yes, employees are moved between EOR vendors by ending one local employment and starting another, but it is paperwork-heavy for the employee. Some vendors advertise switching support; verify the mechanics on the vendor's own pages before committing.
Are these alternatives the same product as Deel's EOR?
Category-wise yes: each is a legal-employment product where the vendor employs your hire abroad. Platform surface, owned-entity depth and support models differ, which is what the vendor profiles and coverage evidence on this site are for.
