Why teams prefer Deel over Papaya for global HR and Payroll

Stop paying to work with partners

Papaya's coverage is built on partners, which creates a frustrating experience with many points of contact, multiple data handovers, and greater room for error. Deel stands apart, using our own infrastructure in 100+ countries and in-house professionals.

Automate more manual HR tasks

Deel has a wider range of integrations and better built-in automation for self-service, while Papaya has limited integrations, and still relies heavily on emails for many processes. This causes delays for urgent matters like terminations and off-cycle payroll.

Save time with our all-in-one HR platform

Deel works as a one-stop-shop for a wide range of HR services to support any worker. With Papaya, you’d have to use external tools or processes to effectively manage global HR, requiring more resources, manual work, and time.

Get fast, reliable in-house support

Deel offers faster solutions with 24/7 multi-channel support and a dedicated customer success manager. Papaya's support is limited to five days a week and is often handled through partners. This creates roadblocks for urgent issues, and slows down onboarding.

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.”
