Employer of Record (EOR) Software · Rank #1 of 10

Deel

EOR market leader with 150+ country coverage and aggressive product velocity.

By Deel, Inc. · Founded 2018 · San Francisco, CA · private

Deel is the EOR market leader, founded 2018, last valued at $12B+ (2024 secondary). The product covers 150+ countries with owned local entities in most major markets. Strengths: broadest country coverage, fastest product velocity, integrated suite (Deel HR, Deel Payroll, Deel Engage, Deel IT). Trade-offs: pricing has crept up ($599/employee/month standard, with add-on fees for advanced features), the 2025 Rippling lawsuit created brand drag (Rippling alleged Deel paid an employee for trade secrets, Deel denied), and customer support quality has declined as the company scaled.
