Deel is a global payroll and compliance platform for hiring contractors and employees worldwide. It handles global payroll, compliance, eor, and contractors, and it's best suited for companies hiring internationally without entities. It has been around since 2019, giving it a 7-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free for contractors — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits.
pros

- Includes Compliance as a core feature, purpose-built for hr & recruiting workflows
- Free for contractors — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done

- Ecosystem of third-party integrations is smaller than the market leaders in hr & recruiting
