Deel store spotlight: what global hiring, payroll and HR cost

Shopping at Deel? See all current Deel promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

Deel is a platform for hiring, paying and managing people in other countries. A US business can use it to pay freelance contractors overseas, employ staff in a country where it has no company of its own, run payroll and keep HR records in one place. Deel says it works in more than 150 countries, and its pricing is month to month with no long-term contract on the standard plans.

It's built for startups and growing companies with a remote or international team. It isn't a consumer service, but it's useful to know what it costs, because many of its prices are listed openly on its pricing page rather than hidden behind a sales call.

What's worth a look

These are six of the services Deel lists with a starting price, all billed monthly:

The two that most small teams start with are Deel Contractors, at $49 per contractor a month for contracts, invoicing and payments in more than 120 currencies, and the Employer of Record service at $599 per employee a month. With EOR, Deel becomes the legal employer in the worker's country and handles their contract, payroll, benefits and local compliance, so you don't need to set up an entity there.

If you'd rather not judge whether a freelancer counts as a contractor or an employee, Contractor of Record costs $325 per contractor a month and shifts that classification risk to Deel. Deel HR comes in three levels: Core at $5 per employee a month, then Advanced at $19 and Elite at $29.

If you already have your own company in a country, Deel Payroll: Global runs payroll there from $29 per employee a month, and Deel Hire, from $14 per worker a month, covers job posts, AI-assisted screening, interview scheduling and offer letters. The pricing page also lists add-ons such as expense management and benefits administration, so you can add pieces as you need them rather than paying for one large package up front. Deel's FAQ says the quoted price covers local compliance, payroll and benefits administration, and that you can cancel at any time, although local notice rules still apply to EOR employees.

Current offers

• We don't have a Deel code right now.
• Deel's site shows a promotion of three months of free platform fees for new US PEO customers who sign an order form by December 31, 2026. It needs a minimum two-year term, and Deel's terms say you repay the credit if you end the contract early, so read them in full first.
• You can book a free demo to see the platform before you commit.

How to save more

• Match the plan to the worker. Paying a genuine contractor through Deel Contractors at $49 a month costs far less than an EOR employee at $599, but only use it where the role really is freelance.
• Start with HR Core at $5 per employee and move up to Advanced or Elite only when you need the extra features.
• Ask about bundles. The pricing page groups HR, payroll and IT into bundles, which can work out cheaper than separate plans as the team grows.
