Eightfold Alternatives

Deel's standalone HRIS — worker profiles, org chart, time off, time and attendance, job architecture and compliance from $5 per employee per month, rising to $19 for performance reviews, OKRs, learning and engagement surveys, and $29 for pay bands, compensation cycles, headcount planning and cost forecasting. The cheapest entry point into Deel by a wide margin, and the one most often compared against BambooHR and HiBob. Sibling products: Deel Payroll, Deel EOR, Deel US PEO, Deel Contractor Management and Deel IT.

HRIS for small-to-mid businesses (5-500 employees), acquired by KKR-backed private equity in 2023. Positioned as the alternative to Workday for teams that don't need enterprise-grade complexity. Distinctive for its non-technical HR generalist UX and its e-signature + onboarding flows. Priced per employee monthly (~$8-$12) with all-in-one plans. Real cost bloat comes from add-ons: Performance, Time Tracking, Payroll (US only).

Deel's applicant tracking and sourcing product, sold standalone as "Find talent" at $14 per worker per month or bolted onto a Deel HR plan from $10 per employee per month. Covers job posting, pipeline visibility by stage, AI screening, offer generation, interview scheduling, AI interview summaries and access to a vetted talent marketplace. The cheapest published price anywhere in Deel's lineup. Sibling products: Deel HR, Deel Payroll, Deel EOR, Deel US PEO, Deel Contractor Management and Deel IT.

Global EOR and payroll platform positioned as the transparency-first alternative to Deel. Distinctive for CEO Job van der Voort's public commitment to open pricing (all EOR fees published) and slower, compliance-first growth model. Multi-product lineup: Contractor Management from $29/contractor/mo, Global Payroll $29/employee/mo, EOR $699/employee/mo, PEO (US-only) from $99/employee/mo, Equity from $39/mo. Popular with European companies hiring globally who value regulatory rigor over speed.

Deel's own-entity payroll product — run payroll across 130+ countries at $29 per employee per month, with country-specific tax filings, statutory reporting, multi-currency runs and a dedicated payroll manager on the managed option. This is the product for companies that already have legal entities, as opposed to Deel EOR which exists precisely to avoid them. Add-ons: Benefits Management $10, Payroll Connect $5 and Treasury $10 per employee per month. Sibling products: Deel EOR, Deel US PEO, Deel HR, Deel Contractor Management and Deel IT.

Deel's contractor product — hire, manage and pay global contractors at $49 per contractor per month, with centralised contractor management, payments in 120+ currencies, automated invoicing, tax form guidance and worker-classification compliance. Contractor of Record at $325 shifts misclassification liability from you to Deel, which is the whole reason the higher tier exists. Deel is valued $17B private (2024) and reached $1B ARR in under four years. Sibling products: Deel EOR (employees abroad), Deel US PEO, Deel Payroll, Deel HR, Deel ATS and Deel IT.

Deel's IT and device management line — ship, retrieve, repair and store laptops globally, plus mobile device management and endpoint protection from $49 per user per month. Growth at $139 adds 24/7 managed IT support and Scale at $149 adds automated app access provisioning. The jump from $49 to $139 is the tell: Starter is software, Growth and Scale are a managed service with people attached. Competes directly with the IT half of Rippling. Sibling products: Deel HR, Deel Payroll, Deel EOR, Deel US PEO and Deel Contractor Management.

US payroll + benefits platform positioned as the alternative to ADP and Paychex for SMBs (1-500 employees). Distinctive for its modern UX (unlike ADP's 1990s-era interface) and built-in benefits marketplace. Valued $9.6B private (2022). Priced $40/mo base + $6/employee (Simple) up to $80+$12 (Premium). Popular with US-based startups and SMBs — no international payroll (unlike Deel/Rippling). Direct competitor to Rippling in the US mid-market.

Deel's US Professional Employer Organization service — co-employment across all 50 states with healthcare, dental, vision, mental health, fertility and 401(k) benefits included, plus managed payroll and tax filings. $125 per PEO employee per month, roughly a fifth of Deel's international EOR rate because no foreign entity is involved. Sibling products: Deel EOR (outside the US), Deel Contractor Management, Deel Payroll, Deel HR and Deel IT.

AI-powered candidate sourcing — automated outreach to passive candidates on LinkedIn + email. Pricing: Growth $549/mo (200 candidates delivered), Amplify $1,099/mo (500 candidates), Enterprise custom. Popular with fast-growing startups and mid-market companies that want warm candidate pipelines without an in-house sourcing team.
