- **Global talent sourcing:** Access to vetted staffing agencies in more than 100 countries for finding candidates before hiring them through the EOR.

## Good for

- Companies hiring a few people abroad without local entities
- Finance and HR teams that want costs reported across countries

## Worth knowing

- The pricing page shows $399 per month per employee and asks visitors to request a quote, so the final price may depend on country and services.
- Velocity Global rebranded as Pebl, so older reviews and documents use the earlier name.
- An employer of record employs the workers legally on your behalf; this is not payroll software for your own entity.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Pebl, formerly Velocity Global, is an employer of record that hires and pays your staff abroad, and the pricing page shows $399 a month per employee. There is no free plan or trial, and the page still invites a quote.

- **Value for money: B.** $399 per employee a month is under the $599 and $699 that two listed employer-of-record rivals start at; payroll software's $49 dearer-quarter line is a different job.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial on record; the pricing page shows a paid per-employee rate.
- **Features: C.** Contracts, payroll, benefits, reporting and an AI assistant; the listing's own limit is that it employs your people for you and is not payroll software for your own entity.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Hiring in a new country involves onboarding and a quote.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with integrations and API access mentioned but not listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Pebl (formerly Velocity Global) you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 30 of the 40 other payroll services grade higher. It costs $4,788 a year.

- You could make: Employee records and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
