What is Pebl?
Pebl is the new name of Velocity Global, the Employer of Record company Ben Wright founded in Denver in 2014. It rebranded in September 2025 under CEO Francoise Brougher and now offers EOR, global payroll, benefits, immigration and talent sourcing across 185+ countries.
As the legal employer, Pebl issues local contracts, runs payroll and statutory filings, provides benefits and handles offboarding while you direct the work. G2 reviewers typically report new hires ready within a few days. Routine questions go to Alfie, the in-platform AI assistant.
The EOR pricing page lists $399 per employee per month, with employer taxes and statutory costs billed on top. Pebl publishes no billing terms, and its G2 listing shows $599, so confirm the rate in a written quote.
At list price, that undercuts Deel and Remote at $599 and Oyster HR at $699, and edges out Multiplier at $400. Rippling prices EOR on top of a platform subscription, so there is no like-for-like figure.

Pebl Review: Editor’s Verdict
Pebl is the compliance-first pick for mid-market and enterprise teams hiring in regulated markets, where named contacts and vetted legal guidance matter more than the lowest fee. The published $399 per employee per month looks aggressive, but every deal runs through a quote and Pebl’s own G2 listing shows $599.
Pebl claims more employment licenses than any other EOR. In markets where a partner-model provider leaves you exposed, that licensing depth is the reason to shortlist it.
Users give Pebl 4.6/5 across 612 reviews, mostly for fast responses and an easy platform; our 4.0 also counts quote-only pricing and an undisclosed entity split, which reviews rarely touch. Most recent G2 reviews are seller-invited and incentivized. Trustpilot’s six reviews lean negative, mostly employees objecting to fees. In-house immigration and visa handling is the clearest secondary strength.
Before signing, get a written quote for each target country covering the monthly fee, billing terms, deposit, FX handling and statutory costs. Ask which of your markets run through Pebl-owned entities and which through partners. If you hire in Latin America, test support response times, since one recent review reports slower replies after the rebrand.
Editorial Score Breakdown
Pebl Pros & Cons 2026
Pebl’s strengths sit in compliance and hands-on support. Its weak points are mostly about what it leaves undisclosed.
Strengths
Rated #1 for Compliance on G2
G2 ranks it the top EOR for compliance, backed by legal guidance that Baker McKenzie reviews.
Named HR and Payroll Contacts
Clients get assigned representatives instead of a shared ticket queue.
In-House Immigration and Visas
Work permits and relocations run through Pebl’s own team, under the same contract as EOR.
Full Cost Shown Before Hiring
Employer taxes, benefits and total cost per country appear before you commit to a hire.
Low Published Headline Rate
At $399 a month, the list price sits well below Deel, Remote and Oyster.
Areas to Watch
$399 Needs Written Confirmation
Billing terms are unpublished, and Pebl’s own G2 listing shows $599.
Entity Split Not Disclosed
You won’t know which countries use owned entities until you ask.
Regional Support Slipped After Rebrand
Some Latin American users report business-hours-only replies and wrong answers from Alfie.
Employee Benefits Draw Complaints
Benefits are the top employee gripe on G2.
Pebl Top Features
Two features set Pebl apart: an AI assistant built into daily EOR work, and immigration handled by its own staff. The rest covers the standard EOR lifecycle, plus pensions, equity and sourcing as separate products.
Alfie AI Assistant.
DifferentiatorAlfie sits inside the Global Work Platform and answers HR and compliance questions in 50+ languages. It also returns cost estimates, salary benchmarks and onboarding guidance, so a hiring manager can check a market before involving HR. Reviewers are split on accuracy, so treat its answers as a first pass on anything with legal weight.
Global Immigration.
DifferentiatorVisa applications, work permits and relocation are processed by Pebl’s immigration team rather than handed to an outside firm. That keeps the permit timeline and the employment start date with one provider. For companies moving key staff between countries, it removes a second vendor and a second contract.
Fully Loaded Quotes and Self-Serve Hiring.
DifferentiatorSince the rebrand, buyers can compare markets and see the full employee cost, including employer taxes and benefits, before speaking to sales. A self-serve signup lets smaller teams start without a scoping call. Larger or multi-country deals still move through a quote.
Local Employment Contracts.
CoreContracts follow each country’s rules on notice, probation, IP assignment and termination. Offboarding runs under the same local rules, with Pebl carrying the liability as legal employer.
Payroll and Statutory Filings.
CoreGross-to-net, tax withholding and social contributions in local currency, with off-cycle runs available.
Local Benefits Access.
CoreStatutory benefits are included, and supplemental packages vary by market. Check what’s offered in each country, since benefit quality is a recurring employee complaint.
Contractor Conversion.
CoreMoves long-term contractors onto compliant local employment where misclassification risk has built up.
Integrations and API.
CoreConnects to HRIS, HCM, ATS and finance systems through a published integration directory. API access is included in the EOR fee rather than sold as an upgrade.
International Pensions and Equity.
Add-onSeparate products for cross-border pension plans and equity administration for EOR employees.
Global Talent Sourcing.
Add-onCandidate sourcing in new markets, sold separately from EOR.
Is Pebl the Right EOR for You?
Pebl suits buyers who put compliance and a named contact ahead of price. If cost or entity transparency matters more, there are better fits.
Best For
- Mid-market and enterprise teams hiring in heavily regulated markets
- Companies relocating staff that want visas and EOR under one contract
- HR teams that want assigned HR and payroll contacts, not a ticket queue
- Finance teams that need the full per-country cost before approving a hire
- Businesses converting long-term contractors into local employees
Skip If
- Price decides it: Remofirst publishes EOR from $199 a month
- You need owned entities confirmed upfront: Remote runs EOR on its own entities
- You want HR, IT and payroll in one system: Rippling is built for that
- You need published contractor pricing alongside EOR: Deel lists both
- Your team is mostly in Latin America and needs support outside business hours
Pebl Country Coverage
Hire and pay employees compliantly across 185+ countries. The grid below shows a sample; the full list is on Pebl’s website. For markets where compliance exposure is high, confirm whether your specific countries are covered through Pebl’s owned entities or via partner arrangements before signing.
Pebl Pricing 2026
Pebl publishes one price: $399 per employee per month for EOR. Global Payroll and Immigration are quoted separately, and employer taxes and statutory costs are billed on top of every EOR fee.
Pebl Integrations
Pebl’s directory lists 250+ integrations, but most are generic connectors. The 22 listed below have dedicated Pebl integration pages, led by Workday and ADP Workforce Now on the HCM side. Greenhouse is the only one with bi-directional sync, marking a candidate as hired once they sign their Pebl contract. Integrations and API access are included in the EOR fee.

Mid-market and enterprise companies get the most from Pebl’s compliance depth and assigned contacts. Smaller teams can sign up self-serve, though reviewers note the cost adds up at low headcounts.
How does Pebl handle employee terminations?
As the legal employer, Pebl runs offboarding under local notice, severance and final pay rules, and carries the termination liability.
