Frequently asked questions

• Is Teamed cheaper than Deel?+

  No, and we don't claim to be. Both are from $599, a starting rate, so the headline is the same. Neither of us is the cheapest EOR. The difference is what sits around the fee. Teamed itemises every line and absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee. Deel does not publish a specific FX rate or spread, so the conversion cost is built into the rate. Get both sets of terms in writing, model them on the same basis, then decide. The point isn't a lower price. 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 local firms on top, where a jurisdiction needs local depth. It's easy to own an entity. What actually protects you is the right legal and operational support behind it. Deel publishes an owned-entity count, entities in 130-plus of its 150-plus countries, but not which specific markets are owned versus served by a partner.
• When should I move from EOR to my own entity?+

  The crossover point depends on headcount and entity costs in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than your own entity until the two costs cross, and where that point falls changes with the country, the entity setup cost and the local running costs. The calculator at /tools/crossover-calculator works it out for your 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 in 100+ countries via GEMO on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees. Deel offers entity-setup services, but does not publish proactive crossover modelling. 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 on the rating, less so on access. Deel runs 24/7 support and is rated about 4.8 on G2, but does not publish which plan includes its dedicated support channel, so at the from-$599 rate you should confirm your escalation path in writing. Teamed gives direct access to real HR and legal experts on all plans, with no support tier to unlock, and is rated 4.8. 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 deep self-serve experience, Deel leads.
• Does Deel support contractor management?+

  Yes. Deel runs a mature contractor-management product alongside its EOR, with broad payment coverage and self-service onboarding. 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 self-serve product and Teamed around an EOR-first relationship with a risk ladder. The right answer depends on which side your workforce actually sits.

• 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 and carries the market-leading brand. If platform depth or brand decides it, Deel is the stronger answer. Teamed is 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 absorbed at zero markup in any currency pairing), 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, specialist local firms), and advice on the right model wherever you start. Both headline at $599, and coverage is broad on both sides. 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.
