Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Deel

  • Contractor management starts at $49 per contractor per month, so cost scales linearly with every person engaged
  • Employer of Record starts at $599 per employee per month
  • Contractor of Record is $325 per contractor per month, far above plain contractor management
  • US PEO starts at $125 per employee per month
  • Payroll and HR support are not sold standalone and are bundled inside the EOR and PEO per person prices

Occupop

  • There is no outbound sourcing or passive candidate search, so any role that will not fill from applications has to be worked in LinkedIn Recruiter or an agency and tracked back manually.
  • Integration coverage is thin outside the Irish and UK ecosystem, so a company running a US payroll or a major HRIS will usually be exporting CSV files rather than syncing new hires.
  • Reporting answers time to hire and source questions but does not support the cohort or funnel analysis a talent team needs once it runs dozens of requisitions at once.
  • The vendor is small, which means the roadmap moves slowly and there is no realistic pressure a mid-market customer can apply to get a feature built.
  • Pricing is quoted rather than published and is structured around plan tiers and hiring volume, so seasonal employers can find the annual cost jumps in the year they run a peak recruitment campaign.
