Deel has faced mounting public controversy, further calling its employment and compliance practices into question.

Most recently, Deel was accused in a lawsuit of violating anti-money laundering and international sanction regulations—a serious risk for any company relying on them as a global employment partner. This follows previous scrutiny in 2023 when U.S. lawmakers called for a federal investigation into their alleged misclassification of employees as independent contractors.

Would you trust a global partner whose compliance track record raises so many red flags?

At Remote, compliance is at the heart of everything we do. We operate fully in-house from day one, ensuring enterprise-grade data protection and robust compliance controls. Unlike Deel, we never rely on third parties to manage entities, and all security and compliance are handled 100% by our expert team.

Remote is also the only global HR platform to offer unlimited EOR indemnity coverage, providing complete peace of mind as you scale.

Deel’s contractor management service covers 150 countries, while Remote’s is more extensive, more affordable and provides an unmatched compliance.

Remote’s Contractor Management suite offers three tailored plans to meet your business needs:

• Contractor Management ($29/active contractor/month): Manage and pay contractors with localized contracts, bulk payments, and self-serve onboarding. Compliance liability stays with you.

• Contractor Management Plus ($99/contractor/month): Includes all standard features plus a $100,000 compliance warranty, protecting against misclassification risks.

• Contractor of Record (COR) (15% of contractor’s invoice or $325/month minimum): Outsource all compliance and payment responsibilities to Remote, with indemnity and IP ownership guarantees.

• With coverage in 200+ jurisdictions, Remote provides unmatched compliance, transparent pricing, and advanced tools like bulk invoicing and KYB/KYC checks. Unlike Deel, Remote’s affordable plans ensure you only pay for active contractors—no hidden fees or deposits.

Switch to Remote today and experience cost savings, risk reduction, and seamless contractor management.

Deel might have an extensive post-employment platform, but Remote knows that global growth starts with finding the right people.

With Remote Recruit, you have the power not only to onboard high-performing remote teams but also to source the best talent for your global organization, positioning your company as a leading destination for remote professionals.

Recruit simplifies global hiring with powerful sourcing tools and clear guidance to help you find top talent and navigate global complexity—so you can move fast, hire smarter, and scale confidently.

While many of Rippling’s reviews praise its ease of use, a significant number rate the platform’s poor customer support as one of its primary shortcomings — with a lack of availability and a tendency to focus on upselling over solution-finding.

Remote, on the other hand, is more than a software solution: our customers love the specialized, expert support we offer at no extra cost, with every business assigned their own dedicated contact and support available 24/7 via chat or email.
