The reasons to choose Deel over Rippling are clear

reason # 1 — Coverage

Hire wherever you want. We mean it.

With global entities, payroll infrastructure, and in-house experts in 100+ countries, Deel offers a wide range of hiring options. Rippling lets you hire in fewer countries than Deel, and the level of service provided can vary as they use third parties in some of them.

Image

reason # 2 — Global compliance

Avoid high penalties with unmatched global compliance

Although Rippling has primarily focused on the US since its inception, Deel has been global from day one. With built-in global compliance and in-house experts in over 100 countries, Deel ensures you stay compliant, no matter where you are.

Image

reason # 3 — Support

24/7 in-house and multi-channel support for global businesses

Deel’s support is in-house, reliable, and fast. Rippling’s support is limited to weekdays and for administrators only, creating challenges for solving urgent matters like termination or off-cycle payroll.

Image

reason # 4 — Contractor payments

Pay out contractors
with no hidden fees

Deel’s solid global payments infrastructure gives your contractors a superior experience. Rippling's contractor payments are limited to wire transfers and a hefty $20 fee per transaction, leading to a poor contractor experience, added fees, and hassle.

Incredibly difficult to receive customer support

It was incredibly difficult to receive customer support. Our account managers kept cycling out so whenever we'd email them, we'd get an email bounced notification without any information about whom to contact other than a generic support@ email address.

Tech is terrible

Tech is terrible, it's almost impossible to find information and you need to update information in multiple places in order for changes to take effect. Support is also terrible - I've gotten different answers from different people on standard labor law questions.

Way too expensive for the functionality

There is no way to contact the company other than the chat function or creating a ticket. Whenever I have a problem, especially with my payroll I want to be able to solve it immediately and call the help desk. In the end, way too expensive for the functionality of the product and a very poor customer service

Doesn't live up to the promise.

Doesn't live up to the promise. The whole experience of using Rippling is profoundly disappointing, with poor UI/UX, bugs and terrible troubleshooting.

Worst customer service ever!

For a start, Rippling doesn’t offer support on the platform - no chat, no email address, no in-mail messaging, phone number. Nothing. Only knowledge base with no option to communicate with someone at Rippling. I had to connect employees in LinkedIn to get the support email.
