Deel vs G-P (Globalization Partners) (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Deel if

• Fits if you pay contractors in several countries and currencies
• Works for hiring abroad without setting up a local company

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if your whole team is in the US: Deel's payroll is $145 a month for five, against $79 at Gusto
• Skip it if you want to try before committing, as there's a demo but no trial
• Not for you if you want a firm PEO price, as the pricing page shows $125 on one tab and $110 to $147 on others
• Pricey if you hire abroad without a local company, as employer of record is $599 a person a month
• Watch out: the pricing page doesn't list the 130+ countries, and contractors on the $49 plan are yours to classify

Pick G-P (Globalization Partners) if

• Fits if you want to hire in a country where you have no company
• Works for firms that pay contractors in many countries

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you hire only a few people, as EOR starts at $599 per employee a month
• Watch out: prices are starting points, with volume discounts and rates agreed through sales
• Not for you if you want payroll for your own entity, as an employer of record employs the workers
• Watch out: G-P Gia, the compliance assistant, is sold separately at $500 a seat

Deel

• Employer of record costs $599 per employee a month, against $29 for payroll where you have your own entity.
• Deel's US PEO is shown at $125 per employee a month on one tab and $110 to $147 on others, depending on the plan and health benefits.
• Pricing is month to month with no long-term contract; Deel offers a demo rather than a free trial.
• Covers 130+ countries for EOR and payroll and the US for PEO; the pricing page does not list the countries.

G-P (Globalization Partners)

• The listed prices are starting points; the page says volume discounts and negotiable rates apply, and proposals are requested from sales.
• G-P Gia is a compliance assistant sold separately from employment and payroll.
• An employer of record legally employs your workers abroad, so it is not payroll software for your own entity.
