Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Justworks
- The published per-employee fee is the platform charge, not your cost; health insurance premiums and workers' compensation are billed on top and are usually several times larger, so the transparent price is transparent about the smaller number.
- Leaving a PEO is a project, not a cancellation: you must source your own health plan, obtain your own state employer registrations and unemployment accounts, and time the switch to a plan year, which typically takes months.
- Coverage is United States only, so the moment you hire your first employee in another country you are running a second system and Justworks handles them only as a contractor.
- PEO Basic looks like a cheaper way in but excludes the Justworks health plans, which is the main reason companies choose a PEO at all, so most buyers end up on Plus.
- Benefit plan choice is constrained to what Justworks has negotiated, and a company with strong preferences about carriers or network coverage in a specific region may find the options do not fit.
Velocity Global
- Velocity Global has rebranded to Pebl and velocityglobal.com redirects to hellopebl.com
- No pricing is published for the Employer of Record service; the site routes to a demo request with no published per-employee rate
- The offering is an Employer of Record arrangement, so the employee is legally employed by the provider rather than the client

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Pebl charges $399 per employee per month and includes global employment, payroll, compliance support, benefits access, and AI-powered assistant.
SourceJustworks: Is the $79 figure my total monthly cost per employee?
No. It is the platform fee. Health insurance premiums, dental, vision and workers' compensation are additional and typically dwarf it.
