Deel4.0vsMultiplier4.2Multiplier Wins on Price and Reach. Deel Wins on Flexibility and Integrations.
If all you need is an EOR, we would pick Multiplier. Core is $459 per employee a month on annual billing against Deel’s $599, and it claims 160+ countries to Deel’s 130+ owned-entity markets. On 10 hires that gap is $16,800 a year.
Deel is the better buy when flexibility and one account matter more than the fee. It bills month to month with no commitment, runs EOR, contractors, a US PEO and payroll together, and lists 200+ integrations on every plan. Multiplier keeps integrations, reports and API access behind its $519 Growth plan, and its EOR terms let it set the deposit at its own discretion.
