Teamed vs Velocity Global (Pebl), the $599 head-to-head

1. Step 1

   Bring your Velocity Global quote

   Share your current Velocity Global quote or invoice. Teamed unbundles it line by line: gross salary, statutory at cost, platform fee, FX residual. You see exactly what the switch saves and where the numbers land.

2. 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. Nothing moves until the plan is agreed.

3. Step 3

   Issue new contracts

   New compliant employment contracts issue under Teamed. Employees receive their new payslip structure before the first pay cycle, with FX shown against mid-market. No re-onboarding overhead.

4. Step 4

   Close the Velocity Global relationship

   Teamed manages the Velocity Global termination timeline and keeps you out of a double-billing period. Most EOR contracts are month-to-month or carry a 30 to 90-day notice period. Teamed maps the calendar.

Frequently asked questions

• Is Teamed cheaper than Velocity Global?+

  Same $599 headline. Velocity Global starts at $599 standard but G2 reviewers consistently report the real cost running 30 to 50% higher in practice, because pricing is quote-led. Teamed is flat at $599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month, with no annual commitment and FX absorbed at zero markup on the fee. The headline matches. The gap shows up in what the bill actually says.
• Can I switch from Velocity Global to Teamed mid-contract?+

  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 employee cohort at a time, so the overlap period is contained. Bring your current Velocity Global commercial terms and Teamed maps the cutover plan and the deadlines. Most switches complete in four to six weeks.
• What is Velocity Global's pricing in practice?+

  Velocity Global publishes a standard rate of $599 per employee per month. G2 reviewers consistently report the real cost running 30 to 50% higher in practice, because pricing is quote-led rather than a published flat fee (verified 2026-06-16 via g2.com/products/pebl-formerly-velocity-global/reviews). If you are comparing it against Teamed's $599 flat rate, request an itemised quote from Velocity Global and get the all-in number in writing before making the comparison.
• What happened when Velocity Global rebranded to Pebl?+

  Velocity Global rebranded to Pebl in 2025, repositioning around an AI-first platform. The underlying business, including the 65 owned entities and M&A depth, carries over. However, recent G2 reviewers note that the customer experience and account management have been uneven during the transition. velocityglobal.com remains active. In this guide we use 'Velocity Global (Pebl)' because most buyers still search under the original name. If you are mid-contract or evaluating a switch, ask directly whether the service model has changed.
• Does Teamed own a German entity?+

  Yes. Teamed operates through its own German entity, which means your German employee's contract is issued by a Teamed GmbH rather than a local partner. Real HR and legal experts with German employment-law credentials handle edge cases directly: Betriebsrat (Works Council) consultations, Kuendigungsschutzgesetz (KSchG) terminations, Works Agreements. G2 ranks Teamed #1 EOR for service, four years running. Germany is a market where the ownership structure matters, because Works Council law (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) and strict termination protection create advisory requirements that generalist queues can't handle well.
• When should I use Velocity Global over Teamed?+

  Velocity Global is the stronger fit when M&A workforce integration or immigration-driven hiring is the brief. Its 65 owned entities across 185+ countries and dedicated specialist practice for carve-out transactions and visa-aligned employment are the strongest in the EOR category for those cases. For companies doing straightforward organic hiring, Teamed is typically the better match: flat fee, FX on the invoice, real expert access, and a proactive path to your own entity. If you're not sure, bring both your hiring plan and your current Velocity Global quote to a Teamed advisory call.
• How do Teamed and Velocity Global compare on support quality?+

  Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2 and has held the #1 EOR for service position four years running. Velocity Global (Pebl) is rated 4.6 on G2, but recent reviewers note that the account management and support experience has been uneven following the 2025 rebrand. The structural difference is access: Teamed gives you direct access to real HR and legal experts on all plans, with no AI bot wall and no shared queue. If you are evaluating Velocity Global, ask specifically whether the service model is the same as before the rebrand and whether your specific account team carries over.
• When should I set up my own entity instead of using an EOR?+

  The crossover point depends on headcount and salary mix in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays cheaper than running your own entity below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets. Above that, the cumulative per-seat EOR fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover explicitly and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) can set up the entity in Germany and 100+ other markets on the same system with no re-onboarding of existing EOR employees.

• Teamed vs Velocity Global, which is better for a company hiring across Europe?+

  For a rapidly growing company hiring across Europe, the three deciding questions are cost predictability, access to real employment-law expertise per jurisdiction, and the path to your own entities as you scale. Teamed is flat at $599 with FX absorbed at zero markup and shown against mid-market on every invoice. It provides real HR and legal experts on all plans, including German employment-law depth through its own German entity, and models the crossover to your own entity proactively via Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO). Velocity Global has genuine M&A and immigration depth with 65 owned entities across 185+ countries, but its quote-led pricing means the real cost is typically 30 to 50% higher than the $599 standard per G2 reviews, and its support experience has been uneven since the 2025 rebrand to Pebl. For organic European hiring, Teamed is the stronger fit. For carve-out or immigration-heavy requirements, Velocity Global leads.
• Is Velocity Global worth the premium over other EOR providers?+

  For M&A workforce integration and immigration-driven hiring, yes. Velocity Global's 65 owned entities and specialist practice for carve-out transactions are the strongest in the category for those cases. For straightforward organic hiring across standard markets, the premium is harder to justify: G2 reviewers consistently report the real cost running 30 to 50% above the $599 standard. Teamed, Remote, Deel and Oyster all cover organic hiring at a more predictable published price, and Teamed additionally absorbs FX at zero markup and advises on when EOR is no longer the right model.
