Deel pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Deel (deel.com) is a global employment platform. Flat monthly fee per head: $599 per EOR employee, $125 per US PEO employee, $49 per contractor (or $325 for Contractor of Record), billed monthly.. No free plan.

What Deel costs

  • 1 employee (EOR): $599/mo ($599 per employee per month (Hire employees, EOR, monthly billing). The page shows no country-specific price, so the same fee applies to Germany. No flat platform fee or monthly minimum is stated, so none is added. The $899 EOR Enterprise tier is not used because sources conflict on it.)
  • 10 contractors: $490/mo (10 x $49 per contractor per month (Hire contractors) = $490. No monthly minimum or flat plan fee is stated, and the official page publishes no per-payment fee or FX percentage. A Deel help-centre article (could not be opened) lists a flat $5 fee for funding an invoice by bank transfer (ACH, SEPA or BACS); if counted for each of 10 payments it adds $50, giving $540. Card funding fees are excluded as payment-method surcharges.)

Plan compared: Hire employees (EOR): one employee at $599 per month, monthly billing. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12): the recurring employer-of-record fee for one employee in Germany, and the recurring fee to pay ten contractors abroad, with any percentage fee applied to a USD 5,000 monthly salary or USD 40,000 of monthly payments. Salaries, employer taxes, benefits, setup fees and card surcharges are left out, so the figures are platform costs rather than total cost of employment.
