Deel: pros & cons

  • Covers a large number of countries
  • Handles compliance paperwork you would otherwise research
  • Contractor and EOR options in one place
  • EOR pricing per employee is significant
  • Support quality varies by region
  • You still own the employment relationship risks

Paylocity: pros & cons

  • Solid US payroll and tax handling
  • Employee self-service reduces HR load
  • Workforce management included
  • US only
  • Implementation takes time

Our verdict on Deel

Solves a genuinely hard problem. Compare EOR fees against setting up an entity if a country becomes core to you.

Our verdict on Paylocity

A dependable US payroll choice. Irrelevant outside the US.
