Fees for local bank withdrawal

They should go back to having no withdrawal limit; it is becoming quite expensive if you receive more than six thousand dollars per month.

2

Currency Conversion Fees

medium overage

Currency conversion fees are not disclosed upfront and can add to the cost of receiving international payments. Multiple users report that conversion rates are higher than expected.

The conversion rates are a little bit high

3

Immigration and Visa Support Fees

low addon

While Deel offers immigration and visa support services, these are charged as add-ons based on custom quotes and are not included in the base EOR pricing.

reddit

Additional Features: Their immigration and visa support is an added cost (based on quote), BUT it's super helpful and much less expensive that the alternative hiring a legal team or consulting with legal.

4

Legal Review for Contract Templates

medium compliance

Deel's contract templates attempt to cover all bases but often require legal review and customization, adding external legal costs that offset some of the platform's cost savings.

reddit

contract templates try to cover every base, so chances are you'll need to re-write parts or get a lawyer to look at them (so not saving your company any money in the process).

5

Parallel Payroll Fee

medium addon

For companies running payroll in multiple countries simultaneously, Deel charges a Parallel Payroll Fee, though this can sometimes be negotiated away in multi-year contracts.

We were able to get the Parallel Payroll Fee waived and the supplier also approved Quarterly payments on a 3 year term.

6

High-Volume Withdrawal Charges

high overage

Deel recently introduced withdrawal limits that make it expensive for contractors receiving more than $6,000 per month. Users report that the platform changed from having no withdrawal limit to charging fees based on withdrawal volume.

trustradius

They should go back to having no withdrawal limit; it is becoming quite expensive if you receive more than six thousand dollars per month.

7

Per-contractor add-on fees stack quickly

medium addon

Deel charges a separate per-contractor monthly fee on top of EOR pricing. Users report that while $49/contractor/month is straightforward, it becomes expensive at scale compared to peers like Oyster which charges $29/contractor/month. Companies with large contractor footprints feel the cost difference acutely.

reddit

Deel is competitive with peers like Oyster, Remote.com, and others, BUT it's slightly more expensive with the per contractor fee $49/month for each additional versus $29/month for their peers. This means it might be less helpful if you have a huge contractor footprint

reddit

Pricing: For smaller businesses or those with numerous international hires, Deel's services can be perceived as costly.

8

Contract templates require legal rewrites

medium compliance

Deel provides standard compliance contract templates, but users report that the templates 'try to cover every base' which means companies often need to re-write portions or hire a lawyer to review them — eroding the cost savings of the platform's bundled compliance.

reddit

Not much customization is available, and contract templates try to cover every base, so chances are you'll need to re-write parts or get a lawyer to look at them (so not saving your company any money in the process).

9

Customer support responsiveness issues

medium support

Multiple users report challenges with Deel's customer service responsiveness and effectiveness, particularly when resolving payroll discrepancies or compliance edge cases. While Deel advertises 24/7 chat support, real-world resolution times can be slow for complex issues.

reddit

Customer Support: Some users have reported challenges with customer service responsiveness and effectiveness.

reddit

Software Reliability: There have been mentions of software issues and misinformation affecting payroll processing in certain regions.

10

Platform feature creep and UX clutter

low implementation

As Deel has expanded beyond pure EOR services into IT, equipment, payroll, engagement and more, the dashboard has become more cluttered. Users report it 'feels like they are expanding the footprint of tools and services considerably beyond just an EOR' which can make navigation harder for teams using only core features.

reddit

Some Clutter: The UX is good overall, but feels like they are expanding the footprint of tools and services considerably beyond "just an EOR".
