Pros and Cons of using Deel

Pros:

  1. Automated Compliance: Deel ensures contracts and payments follow local laws, providing businesses peace of mind regarding the legality of their global operations.
  2. Multiple Currencies: The platform supports pay-outs in various currencies, simplifying payments for international team members in their local currency.
  3. EOR Services: It acts as an employer of record, sparing businesses from the complicated process of establishing legal entities in different countries.

Cons:

  1. Learning Curve: Some users may find its extensive features overwhelming initially, requiring time for new users to become experts.
  2. Price Point: The cost can be a hurdle for small operations, making it potentially less cost-effective for businesses with very small teams.
  3. Integration Limitations: While Deel incorporates major accounting software, some users may find it lacking in broader third-party integrations, meaning it might not sync with every tool your business currently uses.

Customer Reviews

Necessary ally
★★★★★
I am relieved to have Deel as my payroll platform. We the contractors needed a flexible tool like this that offers different methods of withdrawing your money, clarity on contract management, and many useful tools that are constantly added while keeping its GUI simple. The most valuable tool for me is the "advance Deel" tool that allows you to request multiple cash advances of your contract payments at very low rates. You don't have to wait for your client to pay you to have the funds. It would be more comfortable to have language management for the GUI, but that's more a desire than a need.
Deel Helped Me Focus on My Job
★★★★★
Deel provides an intuitive and user-friendly platform that simplifies the entire process of working with international clients. As a programmer from Brazil, navigating through the platform was seamless, making it easy to understand and use. This helps me focus solely on my job instead of getting worried about my finances and how I'm going to receive payments that month. Once a month I open the app and check my current contract, withdrawing to my account or advancing a payment. All documents and invoices are conveniently placed and it's easy to transfer everything to my accounting service. Another great thing to consider is customer support, available in multiple languages, which helped me when I got started. One small issue I had, which was more on my end, was relying on the Deel advance service. I had to pause a contract for a month, and when resuming it I couldn't use the advance as it required two consecutive months of payment.
Great Platform (Robust and good support team)
★★★★★
I have been using Deel for a year now and I have seen many new features coming all this time moreover the most important and best thing that I like is the fast withdrawal everything else is just the cherry on top + when you withdraw the support team is always there to support in case you need any other assistance. Regarding usability, I can add my full-day / half-day leave and new expenses, and payment tracking is just amazing. I think the wallet thing they have set up is a bit expensive to withdraw and use.
