Less manual work
Deel automates accounting and HR workflows with 15+ integrations, contract creation, compliance document collection, payslips, KYC, and more. Oyster doesn’t support any of these.
Why are companies choosing Deel over Oyster?
More control and payment flexibility
Oyster only supports bank transfers for payments. Meanwhile, Deel supports 8+ withdrawal options, plus automated invoicing and payroll, off-cycle payroll, Deel Card, and more.
More coverage with better pricing
Unlike Oyster, 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
Oyster’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.
“We experienced issues with Oyster as soon as we implemented it; from contractor payments and withdrawal problems, to 3 - 4 day delays in responses from support. When we switched to Deel, all of the things we were so frustrated by just evaporated.”
