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 can create 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.

Save time with our all-in-one global 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.

Automate more manual HR tasks

Deel has a wide range of integrations and built-in automation for self-service. Papaya has only a few integrations, which generate duplicated manual work and a lack of global visibility.

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.”
