What each is best for

Deel Payroll

Deel Payroll is worth it if… Deel Payroll is the cheaper end-state once you own entities in the countries you hire in — $29/employee/mo against $599 for EOR in the same country. The crossover usually lands somewhere around 5-10 employees per country once entity setup and maintenance are priced in.

Deel US PEO

Deel US PEO is worth it if… Deel US PEO suits US companies that want someone else to own payroll, tax filing, compliance and — critically — benefits sourcing, without going international. The PEO model pools your headcount into Deel's benefits plans, which is usually how small US teams get insurance rates they couldn't negotiate alone.

Bottom line: Similar positioning, closer to a preference call than a strategic one.
