Deel alternatives
Stay with Deel if you want EOR, contractors, payroll, HR and IT from one vendor with public prices. Switch to Remote for cheaper contractors at the same EOR price, or Pebl for the lowest listed EOR fee.

Deel vs Remote
EOR costs the same at both ($599). Pick Deel for the widest coverage and one vendor for HR, IT and visas. Pick Remote if you have many contractors and want lower fees.
