# Fronted vs Deel

_Looking for a Deel alternative? Fronted gives you one dedicated contact, €390 per employee/month for EOR and deep Nordic expertise. Compare honestly._

The short version

Choose Fronted if you want a named person who knows your team, clear pricing without add-ons appearing later, and deep expertise in Scandinavian employment.

Choose Deel if you need the widest possible country list and a large all-in-one HR suite, and you're comfortable working mainly through the platform and support tickets.

When Deel might be the better choice

We'd rather tell you now than have you find out later. Deel may suit you better if you need to hire in a large number of countries at once, if you want one broad HR suite covering HRIS, IT equipment and global payroll, or if you prefer to manage everything yourself in a platform rather than through a dedicated contact.

## Questions about switching from Deel

### Is Fronted a good alternative to Deel?

If you hire in Scandinavia or Europe and want a dedicated contact rather than a ticket queue, yes. If you need the broadest country coverage or a full HR suite, Deel may fit better.

### Is Fronted cheaper than Deel?

Our EOR fee is €390 per employee/month. Deel publishes a starting price of $599 per employee per month. We add statutory benefits at cost, and we tell you about our 1.5% currency conversion fee before you sign.

### Does Fronted charge a currency fee?

Yes, 1.5%, and only when you're invoiced in a different currency than your employee is paid in. We tell you upfront. Many providers build their margin into the exchange rate instead. On one Deel invoice we reviewed, that margin was about 4%.

### Are there other fees on top of the EOR fee?

No. Statutory benefits are added at cost. If you want extra benefits beyond what the law requires, we charge an admin fee, and we tell you before you buy.

### Can we move a few employees first?

Yes. Many companies start with one or two employees and move the rest when they're confident.

### Do our employees have to sign new contracts?

Yes. When you switch EOR, your employees sign a new employment contract with us and end their contract with Deel. We handle the contracts and paperwork, and we help you explain the change to your team.

### When is the best time to switch?

Usually ahead of your contract renewal date. Check your notice period with Deel, and talk to us a couple of months before so we can plan the move together.

### Do you require a deposit?

Yes, one month. It protects your employees' salaries and is common practice among EOR providers.

### Can you employ sales staff with commission?

Yes. We're flexible with commission plans and target salaries (OTE).

### Can our employees get stock options?

Yes. We report and tax equity benefits through the employee's local payroll. Your company keeps the plan and the grant agreement with the employee. We don't give plan, securities or personal tax advice.

### Do employees in Sweden get an occupational pension?

Yes. Everyone we employ in Sweden gets an occupational pension, group life insurance and accident insurance as standard. We don't have a collective agreement in Sweden, so ITP1 doesn't apply automatically, but you can upgrade to a package that mirrors it.
