Founded in 2019 by Alex Bouaziz, Deel has raised roughly $979 million and reached a $17.3 billion valuation following its Series E, reporting around $1.4 billion in annual recurring revenue and 35,000+ customers as of 2026.
Key Features
Core products include Employer of Record (EOR), Contractor Management, Contractor of Record, Global Payroll, an HRIS dashboard, immigration support, and equity management, each usable independently or combined.
Deel supports payouts in 120+ currencies, offers 24/7 in-app support, and provides iOS and Android apps so employees and administrators can manage time off, expenses, and payslips from anywhere.
Pricing
