Why teams prefer Deel over Gusto for HR and Payroll

All your international and US-based employees, under one roof

Deel’s wide range of HR and payroll services support any worker, anywhere. Gusto requires external tools to manage global HR and payroll effectively which means more scattered data, manual processes, and higher costs.

Get fast, reliable in-house support

Deel offers faster solutions with 24/7 in-app support and a dedicated customer success manager. Gusto's support is limited to weekdays with reportedly slow response times, delaying solutions for urgent payroll issues that put your business at risk.

Pay contractors easily and compliantly

Deel's infrastructure for contractor compliance and payments is strong and reliable. Gusto offers contractors limited withdrawal options with no compliance related to localized document collection and contracts, leading to penalties.

Excellent multi country EOR portal
“When we scoped options for our global operations, we scoped many service providers. Our preliminary interaction with the portal representatives and their user experience, made it an easy decision to go with Deel. Since then, what has been extremely impressive has been their customer service in handling issues with our multi-culture teams across the globe.”
