  • Month-to-month and extended terms are available.
Starting at $5/mo for 1 employee (Deel HR (Core); hr)

Deel combines HR, contractor management and international employment services. Core HR starts at $5 per employee per month; contractor management and employer-of-record services have separate fees.

  • Published starting prices for Core HR, contractor management and EOR help separate the services in a budget.
  • Core HR can be purchased for workforce records and workflows without treating EOR as the entry plan.
  • Contractor management and EOR address different international hiring arrangements.
Starting at $55/mo for 1 worker (Simple; payroll)

Gusto publishes a monthly base fee plus a per-person charge for each of its three payroll plans. Simple covers single-state payroll; Plus and Premium add multi-state payroll and more HR capabilities.

  • Published base and per-person fees make recurring payroll costs straightforward to calculate.
  • Simple, Plus and Premium separate entry-level payroll from broader HR and support requirements.
