Why teams prefer Deel over Oyster for global HR and Payroll
Stop paying to work with partners
We use our own infrastructure in 100+ countries and in-house professionals. Oyster’s coverage is built on partners in most countries, creating a frustrating experience with many points of contact, multiple data handovers, and greater room for error.

Oyster
Save precious time on HR admin
Deel has a wide range of integrations and superior built-in automation. Oyster’s integrations are limited, relying heavily on email for many processes. This delays support, slows onboarding, and results in a poor employee experience.

Rely on fast, in-house support
Deel provides in-house support that's fast and reliable. Oyster relies solely on a ticketing system with slow response times, often with delays for urgent issues like terminations or off-cycle payroll.

Give your team an exceptional payment experience
Our flexible and automated payments infrastructure sets us apart from Oyster, which provides clients with limited payment options and only offers one withdrawal method for contractors, causing unnecessary hassle and limitations.

Handle everything HR in one place
Deel consolidates everything you need to manage a global team, so you can cut costs, save time, and scale confidently. Oyster lacks a robust set of HR functions, requiring additional tools that can be costly and demand duplicate work.
