The short version

  • Only Deel has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Deel contractor management starts at $49 per contractor per month, so cost scales linearly with every person engaged; TriNet no fixed pricing is published; the site states pricing depends on company size and state and requires talking to a consultant for a quote, per trinet.com, August 2026
