Less manual work
Deel automates accounting and HR workflows with compliant contract creation, plugins, compliance document collection, payslips, KYC, and more. Papaya Global doesn’t support any of this.
Why are companies choosing Deel over Papaya Global?
More control and payment flexibility
Papaya Global only supports bank transfers for withdrawal. Meanwhile, Deel supports 8+ payment options including crypto, automated invoicing and payments, off-cycle payroll, Deel Card, and more.
More coverage
Unlike Papaya, Deel owns entities in every Employer of Record market, meaning we don’t pass you off to external partners and we can offer you better experience and pricing.
Faster, more reliable 24/7 support
Papaya Global’s email-only support has a one day turnaround time, with no dedicated point of contact. Deel has instant 24/7 in-app support, plus a dedicated account manager.
