Deel Payroll Reviews & Product Details

Deel Payroll makes managing international payroll extremely simple and reliable. The platform is intuitive, easy to navigate, and removes much of the complexity around compliance, payments, and documentation across different countries. Payouts are clear and timely, and having everything centralized in one place saves a lot of time and reduces errors. Overall, it’s a very smooth experience for both companies and contractors.

While Deel Payroll is very strong overall, some workflows could be slightly more transparent, especially when it comes to approval states or pending actions. In a few cases, small details require checking multiple sections to fully understand the status of a payment. These are minor issues, but improving visibility and status clarity would make the experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Deel Payroll is how easy it makes international payments. Receiving a salary from a company in another country is straightforward, predictable, and fast. The platform centralizes contracts, payment history, invoices, and tax documents in one place, which removes a lot of administrative friction. The UI is clean, intuitive, and doesn’t require constant support to understand. Payments arrive on time, currency conversion is transparent, and the overall experience feels reliable and well-designed for global workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Deel Payroll works well overall, some processes can feel a bit rigid. Certain changes or adjustments (like payment corrections or contract updates) are not always instant and may require support interaction. Fees and exchange rates could be more clearly broken down in advance in some cases. Additionally, some advanced settings and reports feel more tailored to employers than contractors, which can limit visibility for end users in specific scenarios.

Deel is easy to implement and get started with. The KYC process and bank account setup were straightforward, and integrating multiple bank accounts was simple. I can automatically split payouts by percentage across different accounts, which saves time every month. Holding funds inside Deel is also useful. I don’t use the platform very frequently beyond setup and checking payment status, but for its core purpose it works well. The payout fee is reasonable at around $5. I talked with customer support once about payout delay, they replied quickly and answered my question. I use deel very frequent to check my payout and transfer status.

The user interface often feels heavy, slow, and a bit buggy. Simple things like notifications don’t always work correctly—sometimes a notification I marked as read stays unread for weeks, and clicking a notification can lead to a 404 page. Aside from receiving payments and withdrawing funds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is extremely user-friendly, featuring an intuitive interface that makes navigation effortless. One of its most notable aspects is the seamless integration, which enables us to onboard new users smoothly and without complications. Although our team only uses it every other week, it remains essential for monitoring expected payments, amounts, and deadlines. The features Deel provides are genuinely impressive!

The main issue we face is with the notifications sent to our users. For instance, when a new contract becomes available for signing, our users do not receive the notification immediately, despite having all the necessary permissions enabled. Usually, the notification arrives a few minutes later, but by that time, the users have already signed the contract. If this aspect were improved, our experience would be perfect.

I was recently recruited by a company that uses Deel Payroll and I was immediately impressed by how convenient the Deel dashboard is. The interface feels genuinely user friendly and intuitive. I was able to locate the onboarding section without any friction and upload all the required documents with ease. What stood out to me even more was Deel’s awareness of country specific tax requirements and their clear commitment to complying with local tax regulations. I also really appreciate the range of payment options they offer, including Payoneer, Wise, and direct transfers to my local bank. The whole experience on Deel feels both flexible and reliable.

There's nothing I don't like about Deel! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest advantages for me is the flexibility in payment options. I really appreciate not having to wait for a traditional bank wire, which can sometimes take several days. Instead, I have the choice to withdraw my earnings through PayPal, nsave, or even directly to my bank account. The addition of the 'Deel Card' is a great feature as well, allowing me to spend in USD and avoid immediate local currency fluctuations. Overall, the platform truly feels designed with the needs of modern remote workers in mind, rather than focusing solely on the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The withdrawal fees can be somewhat frustrating. Depending on which method you select, a significant portion of your paycheck might be lost to transaction fees or unfavorable exchange rate markups. I also find myself wishing the mobile app offered more features. While it works well enough for simply checking if a payment has arrived, I usually have to switch to my computer for anything more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike some other related platforms, Deel is easy to register and use, with each of the key sections in separate tabs but well labelled. This makes navigation and updating of information easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far nothing specific comes to mind, although the tax help is not available in the country I am in. While I am very familiar due to similar roles and platforms, I know many people find the SA tax system for freelance projects like this difficult to understand, so it would be useful to have it available at some point or, at the very least, a link(s) to the relevant SARS page (which is periodically checked). Many of the perks or rewards are also not available or are not relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Deel in my work primarily to receive my biweekly payments, which is incredibly convenient since I live in Nicaragua and work for a firm in the United States. I appreciate the simplicity of using Deel for this purpose, as it facilitates receiving my money. One of the things I like most about Deel is the multiple options it provides to solve problems. For example, I had difficulties working with a specific bank, but the various options from Deel allowed me to resolve that issue without additional complications. Moreover, I like that Deel doesn't charge much for being an intermediary, making it an economical option. I also find that Deel is faster compared to Remitly, which was the service we used previously. The initial setup of Deel was very simple, which made the transition even easier. Overall, I am very satisfied with Deel, so much so that on a scale of 1 to 10, the likelihood of me recommending it to a friend or colleague is a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deel has proven to be the single most transformative platform for our company’s global expansion strategy. Before Deel, managing an international team was a fragmented, high-risk administrative nightmare. Now, whether we are engaging an independent contractor in Southeast Asia or onboarding a full-time employee in Europe via their Employer of Record (EOR) service, everything is managed through a single, stunningly intuitive dashboard. Deel doesn't just simplify global employment; it completely removes the operational friction of hiring across borders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no problem with Deel I think it is very good and it eliminate a lot of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
