Is Teamed cheaper than Deel?

Not on the base. Deel is from $599, Teamed is $599 flat, so the headline is level. What it doesn't cover is conversion cost, deposit and pre-funding, and onboarding and exit terms. Teamed itemises every line and shows FX at zero markup. Model both on the same basis, then decide.

Ted is Teamed's AI layer inside the platform. It handles the routine, learns from patterns across customers, and flags law changes and the crossover point early. People approve every outcome, and you can always reach a person directly.

How does Teamed handle in-country legal compliance?

In three published layers: Teamed's own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel for cross-border consistency, and specialist in-country partners on top where needed. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Teamed shows which model stands behind each country and puts a reachable expert on the hard cases.

When should I move from EOR to my own entity?

Below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets, EOR tends to stay more cost-effective. Above that the per-seat fee approaches fixed entity costs. Teamed models the crossover per country, flags it, and builds the entity on the same system with no re-onboarding.

Can I switch from Deel to Teamed?

Yes, most EOR contracts are month-to-month or 30 to 90-day notice. The hard part is the cutover: payroll calendar, benefits continuity, employee communications. Teamed runs phased switches. Most complete in four to six weeks.

How do Teamed and Deel compare on support?

Closely rated, differently built. Deel's standard support is around the clock but a shared queue, with the dedicated channel not published per plan. Teamed gives direct expert access on all plans with no tier to unlock. Both about 4.8 on G2, so it's the model, not the rating, that differs.

Does Deel support contractor management?

Yes. Deel runs a mature contractor-management product and misclassification tooling alongside its EOR. Teamed covers contractors via Guard (up to $10,000 per case, you remain the engager) and Protect (Teamed engages and takes the liability).

Shared by both: contractor and EOR on one platform · broad global coverage · a $599 entry price · human support on every plan

Where it matters	Who leads	Why
Headline price	Draw	Deel's published EOR base starts from $599 per employee per month. Teamed is $599 flat. On the sticker they match, so this one is a draw. Deel lists it as starting from, so it can rise by tier. Teamed holds one flat fee.
Cost clarity	Teamed	The base is only part of the bill. Deel doesn't set out onboarding, minimum term, offboarding or termination on the pricing page, and the conversion markup is built into the rate rather than shown. Teamed itemises every line. FX is absorbed at zero markup, with the applied rate shown against the mid-market reference. The deposit and exit terms are set out before you sign. The point isn't a lower price. It's that you see the whole number.
Support	Teamed	Both put real people on support, and both rate about 4.8 on G2, so this isn't a rating gap. Teamed leads on the model. You reach an HR or legal expert directly, on every plan, with no support tier to unlock. Deel's standard support is a shared queue, and it doesn't publish which plan includes its dedicated Slack or Teams channel.
Platform	Deel	This is Deel's. It runs the deepest all-in-one platform and one of the broadest native integration catalogues in the category, and it aims to be your system of record across HR, IT and payroll. Teamed is a focused global employment platform. It does contractor, EOR and your own entity on one system, and connects to the tools you already run. Want one login for everything? Deel. Want global employment done properly alongside your stack? Teamed.
Employment intelligence	Teamed	Teamed runs Ted, an AI layer inside the platform. It handles the routine, so you're seen fast. It learns from patterns across customers, so a problem solved once is solved for everyone. It flags law changes and the crossover point before they reach you. Real people approve every outcome. Deel doesn't frame this as a capability.
Compliance and in-country coverage	Teamed	Teamed delivers compliance in layers, and publishes how. Its own entities in 57 countries. DLA Piper as global counsel for cross-border consistency. Specialist in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Sometimes it's the right in-country partner, and Teamed shows you which stands behind each country. Deel owns entities in 130+ countries and runs a large in-house legal team, real scale. Teamed's edge is the disclosed structure and the reachable experts who handle the hard cases directly.
Coverage breadth	Draw	Teamed reaches 187+ countries and owns entities in 57. Deel reaches 150-plus and owns entities in 130+. Teamed reaches more, Deel owns more. Both mix owned entities and partners. The totals are close enough and mixed enough that they shouldn't decide it. What matters is the model behind the countries you actually hire in.
Security and certifications	Deel	Deel holds ISO 27001, SOC 1, SOC 2 and GDPR alignment today. Teamed's controls and processes are in place, with the audit underway, so the certificate isn't issued yet. If your review needs the badge in hand, ask both for current reports and dates.
Onboarding speed	Teamed	Teamed publishes 24 to 48 hours to first payroll in straightforward markets. Deel runs a fast, self-serve onboarding flow, but that speed is contract generation, not a paid employee. Ask both for their time to first payroll in your countries. It varies by jurisdiction more than by vendor.
Path to your own entity	Teamed	EOR is a stage, not the finish. Teamed advises you on the right model wherever you start, contractor, EOR or your own entity, and tells you when it's time to move. Then it builds the entity via GEMO and runs it on the same system, with no re-onboarding. Deel offers entity-setup services, but publishes no crossover modelling and no managed-entity product on the same system.

Teamed on G2

Who Teamed is for

Teamed is built for the forgotten middle. Fast-growing companies with an international footprint that want their global employment run properly, an HR or legal expert they can reach, and advice on the right model wherever they start. If you're hiring at senior salary bands across several countries and want to know what you're signing, this is your fit.

Not the right fit if

Teams that want one platform to run all of HR, IT and payroll. Deel or Rippling have the deepest all-in-one product. Teamed connects to those tools rather than replacing them. If consolidating your whole stack is the goal, one of them fits better.
Teams where current security certifications are a hard procurement gate. Deel holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 today. Teamed's controls are in place with the audit underway, so the certificate isn't issued yet. Ask both for current reports and dates, and weigh it honestly.
Teams in a single-market, low-headcount self-serve test. Hiring one or two people in one country, with no entities on the horizon? The most self-serve tool will be fastest. Teamed earns its keep once the complexity is real.

What is the Teamed vs Deel comparison?

An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your people in a country through its own entity or a vetted local partner. It issues the contract, runs payroll, remits income tax and statutory contributions, and carries the employer obligations while you direct the work. You can hire compliantly in a market before you have a legal entity there.

Deel is the market-leading all-in-one global payroll, EOR and HR platform. It reaches 150-plus countries, owns entities in 130+, runs the deepest self-serve product and one of the broadest native integration catalogues in the category, and holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR alignment today. Its EOR base starts from $599 per employee per month. Teamed reaches 187+ countries and is flat at $599. It is a focused global employment system, not an all-in-one suite: contractor to EOR to your own entity on one stack, connecting to the tools you already run rather than replacing them.

Every EOR delivers through a mix of owned entities and vetted in-country partners, Teamed and Deel both. What differs is whether you can see the structure and who handles the hard case. Teamed publishes three layers: its own legal entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel for a consistent standard across borders, and specialist in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth, and Teamed shows you which stands behind each country. Deel owns more entities and runs a large in-house legal team, real scale, and the difference Teamed leans on is a disclosed structure and experts you can reach directly.

The two are built for different buyers. If platform breadth, the integration catalogue or holding the certifications today decides it, Deel is the stronger answer. If you want global employment run properly by people you can reach, with cost you can read and advice on the right model wherever you start, that is what Teamed is for.

Pricing

Teamed and Deel both headline at $599, Deel from $599 and Teamed flat, so the base isn't the difference. The number that lands on your account is the all-in one, and that's where Deel goes quiet. Onboarding, a minimum term, offboarding, termination: none of it is set out on the pricing page. The conversion markup is built into the rate rather than shown. Teamed itemises every line. It absorbs FX at zero markup, with the applied rate shown against the mid-market reference. The deposit and exit terms are set out before you sign. The point isn't that Teamed is lower. It's that you can see the whole cost.

Detail	Teamed	Deel
Published base	$599 USD / £479 GBP per employee per month, flat. No annual commitment required.	From $599 per employee per month (Standard). Listed as starting from, so it can rise by tier. Service fee only, salary and statutory costs on top.
What sits around the fee	Every line itemised. FX absorbed at zero markup, shown against the mid-market reference. The deposit is one month and the exit terms are in the contract. No setup fees.	Onboarding, minimum term, offboarding and termination costs aren't set out on the pricing page. The conversion markup is built into the rate rather than shown.

See the all-in number

Model both on the same basis before you decide. A base with unclear onboarding, notice and exit terms can land above a flat fee that itemises everything. Ask both for the full contract, not the pricing page.

Support

Access to a person is where these two split. Deel's standard support runs around the clock, but as a shared queue, and it doesn't publish which plan includes its dedicated Slack or Teams channel. Teamed gives direct access to HR and legal experts on all plans, with no support tier to unlock. Both rate about 4.8 on G2, so this isn't a star-rating gap. The difference shows on the hard cases, and on what runs behind the humans. Ted, Teamed's AI layer, handles the routine so you're seen fast, and flags issues before they land. A real person approves every outcome.

Detail	Teamed	Deel
Reaching a person	HR and legal experts on all plans. No support tier to unlock. No queue as the default first response.	Standard support is around the clock but a shared queue. Deel doesn't publish which plan includes its dedicated Slack or Teams channel, so confirm what your rate includes.
What the system does for you	Ted handles the routine, learns from patterns across customers, and flags law changes and the crossover point early. People approve every outcome.	Deep, polished self-serve platform. Responsive, but reactive by design.

On a hard case

The test isn't the average ticket. It's the contested exit or the audit. Ask both whether that goes to a real HR or legal expert who knows your account, or into a queue.

Platform

This one is Deel's. It runs the deepest all-in-one platform in the category, one of the broadest native integration catalogues, and it aims to be your system of record across HR, IT and payroll. If you want one login for everything, it fits better. Teamed is a focused global employment platform. It does contractor, EOR and your own entity on one system, and it connects to the tools you already run rather than asking you to move into a new one. Focused is the design, not a gap. The depth goes into global employment, and the rest plugs in.

Detail	Teamed	Deel
Shape	Focused global employment platform. Contractor to EOR to your own entity on one system. Connects to the HRIS and payroll you already run.	Deepest all-in-one platform with one of the broadest native integration catalogues. Aims to be your system of record across HR, IT and payroll.
Best fit	When you want global employment done properly alongside the stack you already run.	When you want one login across HR, IT, payroll and equity, run as a self-serve product.

Name the systems you run

Teamed integrates with the tools you already use rather than replacing them. Tell both your stack, and ask what connects today, not what is on a roadmap.

Compliance

Every EOR runs on a mix of owned entities and in-country partners. What differs is whether you can see the structure and who handles the hard case. Teamed publishes it. Its own entities in 57 countries. DLA Piper as global counsel, holding a consistent standard across borders. Specialist in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth, and Teamed shows you which stands behind each country. Deel owns entities in 130+ countries and runs a large in-house legal team, real scale. Teamed's edge is the disclosed structure and the experts you can reach when a case gets difficult.

Detail	Teamed	Deel
How compliance is delivered	Own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners on top. The structure is published, country by country.	Owns entities in 130+ countries and runs a large in-house legal and compliance organisation with depth at scale.
Depth on the hard cases	Real HR and legal experts with local employment-law experience handle contested terminations, consultations and audits directly.	In-house legal and tax experts overall. Ask whether a given country is an owned entity or a partner, and who stands behind a contested case.

Ask what's behind the flag

A coverage map is a list of countries. For each one you hire in, ask whether the employer is an entity the provider owns or an in-country partner, and who handles it when a case gets difficult.

Your own entity

EOR is a stage, not the destination. Teamed advises you on the right model from your first hire onward, contractor, EOR or your own entity. It models the crossover per country and tells you when to move. Then it builds the entity via GEMO and runs it on the same system, with no re-onboarding. Deel offers entity-setup services, but it publishes no proactive crossover modelling as a standard feature, and no managed-entity product that keeps running on the same system.

Detail	Teamed	Deel
When to move	Models the crossover month per country and tells you when your own entity beats EOR.	Entity-setup services available. No published crossover modelling as a standard feature.
Making the move	Builds and runs your entity via GEMO in 100+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees.	Entity setup available. No managed-entity product that keeps running on the same system.

Ask before you sign

Ask your provider whether they'll tell you when to move to your own entity, and whether they can build it on the same system. Advice you get before you need it beats a guide you find afterward.

Why the comparison matters

Behind every line item is a real person, in a real place.

The fee, the FX and the support model are not abstractions. They decide whether the person you hired in Barcelona or Rome is paid right, on time, by someone who knows their employment law. That is the comparison worth running.

What each stakeholder evaluates

Criterion	Legal	Finance	People Ops	Security
What you actually pay	Ask both for the currency-conversion policy, the deposit requirement and the exit terms in writing before signing. Deel publishes a base, but not a conversion methodology. Teamed absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee, and sets the terms out before you sign.	Deel's base and Teamed's both start at $599, so the base isn't the difference. The difference is the conversion cost and the terms around it. An industry FX markup of 1.5 to 3% on every conversion is common, and it is usually built into the rate rather than shown as a line. Teamed absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee and shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference. Model both, the base is a starting point, not a total.	Either way, your payroll team reconciles salary conversions every month. Ask what rate they will see on the invoice, and whether they can check it against a public reference.	A timestamped applied rate shown against a public mid-market reference is an auditable record. An undisclosed conversion methodology is not.
Support when it matters	A contested termination, a consultation or a tax-authority question needs a real employment-law expert. Ask whether one is on your plan, or whether the support model defaults to a shared queue.	Both providers rate about 4.8 on G2, so this is not a rating gap. The difference is the hard case. Teamed gives direct expert access on all plans. Deel leads on self-serve breadth.	A real person when it matters, not a portal. Ted sits behind the humans, handling the routine and flagging law changes and the crossover point early, with people approving every outcome.	A direct line to a real escalation contact beats an automated flow for incident handling. Know before you sign who you reach when something goes wrong at speed.
The path to your own entity	EOR is a transitional model. Ask whether the provider tells you when the crossover point arrives, and whether it can set up the entity on the same system without re-onboarding your employees.	Teamed models the crossover month when your own entity beats EOR, and flags it. Deel offers entity setup but publishes no crossover modelling. Ask which you are getting.	A managed transition on the same system means your employees keep their contracts and their history. No re-onboarding, no gap in coverage.	Your own entity gives you full control over data residency and employment contracts in that country. Teamed sets it up via GEMO in 100+ countries on the same system you already use.

How switching from Deel to Teamed works

Most switches take four to six weeks. The operational plan is what takes time, not the paperwork. Teamed runs phased cutovers, so overlap is contained and employees never notice a gap.

Step 1
Bring your Deel MSA and invoice
Share your current Deel contract and a recent invoice. Teamed reads the notice period and exit terms from the MSA, and unbundles the invoice line by line: gross salary, statutory at cost, platform fee, conversion residual. You see exactly where the two all-in numbers land.
Step 2
Map the operational plan
Teamed builds the cutover plan per country or per employee cohort: notice-period alignment, payroll-calendar sync, benefits continuity, employee communications and the data handover. Nothing moves until the plan is agreed.
Step 3
Issue new contracts
New compliant employment contracts issue under Teamed. Employees receive their new payslip structure, with FX shown against the mid-market reference, before the first pay cycle. No re-onboarding overhead.
Step 4
Close the Deel relationship
Teamed manages the Deel termination timeline and keeps you out of a double-billing period. Most EOR contracts are month-to-month or carry a notice period. Teamed maps the calendar so nobody misses a payday.

Dyke Yaxley · UK chartered accountancy

100% audit capacity added. Zero entity setup.

Audit capacity in 2024: +100%
Compliance issues across the engagement: 0
South Africa hires, both retained: 2
Entity setup required: None

Challenge

Dyke Yaxley, a UK chartered accountancy with over a century of history, was turning down audit work in 2024. Local UK talent supply for qualified auditors had not kept pace with client demand. Cross-border hiring felt legally involved for a firm whose brand sits on compliance discipline.

Approach

Dyke Yaxley partnered with Teamed to hire two qualified audit professionals in South Africa via EOR. Teamed handled the South African employment-law side end-to-end: compliant contract, local payroll, statutory tax obligations, and onboarding logistics. No entity setup, no South African legal counsel on retainer, no permanent-establishment exposure.

Result

Both hires exceeded expectations on technical work, client satisfaction, and cultural fit. Audit capacity doubled in 2024. Zero compliance issues across the engagement. The firm went from declining new audit work to confidently taking on additional clients.

Honest take

When Deel is the better choice

Choose Deel if you want the deepest all-in-one platform and the broadest native integration catalogue, run as a self-serve product. That breadth is the best in the category, and switching away from it would be a downgrade.
Choose Deel if current security certifications are a hard procurement gate. Deel holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 today, where Teamed is aligned with the audit underway.
Choose Deel if a market-leading brand your procurement team recognises immediately is a priority. Deel is the best-known name in the category.

Teamed leads on cost clarity, support, in-country compliance and advice on the right model. It doesn't lead on platform breadth or on holding the certifications today, and this page says so. If Deel's platform and certifications are the priority, it may be the right call. We'd rather say that than win a deal that's wrong for both sides.

Questions to ask any EOR before you sign

1What deposit or pre-funding do you require, and which setup, onboarding, minimum-term, offboarding, termination or admin costs are in the contract? Read it line by line before you sign.
2When I need help, do I reach a real person who knows my account, or do queries route back to a portal and an account manager that keeps changing?
3In each country I am hiring in, is the employer an entity you own or an in-country partner, and who handles a contested case?
4When my headcount in a country grows, will you tell me when my own entity beats EOR, or do I have to work it out myself?
5Will you show the applied currency-conversion rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice?

Frequently asked questions

Is Teamed cheaper than Deel?
Not on the base. Deel starts from $599 per employee per month, and Teamed is $599 flat, so on the headline they're level. We say so. What the headline doesn't cover is the conversion cost, the deposit and pre-funding, and the onboarding and exit terms. Deel publishes a base, but not a conversion methodology, so the markup sits inside the conversion rate. Teamed absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee, shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference, and itemises every line. Get both sets of terms in writing, model them on the same basis, then decide. The point isn't that Teamed is lower. It's that you see the whole number.
What is Ted?
Ted is Teamed's AI layer, built into the platform rather than bolted onto the front of it. It handles the routine, so you're seen fast. It learns from patterns across customers, so a problem solved once doesn't have to be solved again. It flags law changes and the crossover point before they reach you. Real people approve every outcome. The intent is that AI gets you to the right expert faster and catches issues while they're small, rather than standing between you and a human. You can always reach a person directly.
How does Teamed handle in-country legal compliance?
In three layers, and it publishes the structure. First, Teamed's own legal entities, in 57 countries. Second, DLA Piper as global counsel, holding a consistent legal standard across borders. Third, specialist in-country partners on top, where a jurisdiction needs local depth. Owning an entity is the floor, not the whole job. And the best answer isn't always an owned entity: sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth. Teamed shows you which model stands behind each country. Deel owns entities in more countries and runs a large in-house legal team, real scale, and the difference Teamed leans on is a disclosed structure and experts you can reach directly on the hard cases.
When should I move from EOR to my own entity?
The crossover point depends on headcount and salary mix in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than your own entity below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets. Above that, the cumulative per-seat fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover per country and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. It then builds and runs the entity via GEMO in 100+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees. Wherever you start, Teamed advises you on the model that fits.
Can I switch from Deel to Teamed?
Yes. Most EOR contracts are month-to-month or carry a 30 to 90-day notice period. The harder part is the operational cutover: contract timing, payroll-calendar alignment, benefits continuity, and employee communications. Teamed runs phased cutovers, one country or one cohort at a time, so the overlap period is contained. Bring your current Deel invoice and MSA, and Teamed maps the cutover plan. Most switches complete in four to six weeks.
How do Teamed and Deel compare on support?
Closely rated, differently built. Deel's standard support runs around the clock, but as a shared queue, and it doesn't publish which plan includes its dedicated Slack or Teams channel. Teamed gives direct access to HR and legal experts on all plans, with no support tier to unlock. Both rate about 4.8 on G2, so this isn't a star-rating gap. The difference shows on the hard cases, and on what runs behind the humans. Ted handles the routine and flags law changes and the crossover point early, with people approving every outcome. For a contested exit or a jurisdiction you haven't hired in before, Teamed's model is the fit. For a modern self-serve experience, Deel leads.
Does Deel support contractor management?
Yes. Deel runs a mature contractor-management product and misclassification tooling alongside its EOR, one of the deepest in the category. Teamed covers contractor management through its Guard and Protect plans. Guard covers up to $10,000 per case of misclassification while you remain the engager. Protect has Teamed engage the contractor directly and take on the liability. The two are built around different centres of gravity, Deel around a broad all-in-one product and Teamed around an EOR-first relationship. The right answer depends on which side your workforce actually sits.

Common questions

Teamed vs Deel, which is better for a company hiring across Europe?
It depends which of two buyers you are. Deel runs the deepest all-in-one platform, one of the broadest native integration catalogues, and holds the security certifications today. If platform breadth or the certifications decide it, Deel is the stronger answer. Teamed is $599 flat and a focused global employment system: contractor to EOR to your own entity on one stack, connecting to the tools you already run. It leads on cost clarity (every line itemised, FX at zero markup shown against the mid-market reference), support (HR and legal experts on every plan, no tier to unlock), in-country compliance (own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners, structure published), and advice on the right model wherever you start. For a company hiring at senior salary bands across several European markets that wants employment run properly by people it can reach, Teamed is the stronger fit.
Which EOR is the better fit if I already run an HRIS?
Teamed, by design. Most global employment platforms are built to become the system you work in, which means duplicating records you already keep, or migrating off the HRIS you chose. Teamed is a focused global employment platform on purpose. It does contractor, EOR and your own entity, and it connects outward to the HR and payroll stack you already run rather than asking you to replace it. Deel and Rippling run the deepest all-in-one suites. If consolidating your whole stack onto one vendor is the goal, one of those is the better answer. If you've already invested in an HRIS and want global employment that fits alongside it, that's the case for Teamed. Name the systems you run, and Teamed will confirm what connects.
