QUICK ANSWER
In short: AYP is an EOR, PEO and payroll specialist built for 13+ Asia Pacific markets, with local in-country teams, EOR pricing from $488/employee/month, and one named advisor per account. Deel is a global EOR and HR platform covering 150+ countries, with EOR pricing from $599/employee/month. For companies hiring mainly within Asia Pacific, AYP costs less per employee and pairs that with regional depth Deel's broader network doesn't concentrate on. Deel remains the stronger pick only if your hiring spans many regions well outside APAC.
*Figures confirmed against ayp-group.com/pricing and deel.com/pricing, Aug 2026
$111/month lower EOR price. AYP's $488 vs Deel's $599 saves a 20-person APAC team over $26,000/year before benefits or statutory costs.
Market-level expertise. AYP's advisors work inside the labour law of the market they cover, not generic guidance spread across 150 countries.
One point of accountability. Questions go directly to your regional advisor and AYP's own in-country team, not a support tier.
Where Deel fits better
Global reach beyond APAC. 150+-country network and owned-entity infrastructure cover more ground outside Asia Pacific.
Bundled platform breadth. HRIS, contractor management, IT provisioning and an AI assistant in one system, if you need a single global tool.
Worth weighing: if APAC is your main hiring region, that breadth is capacity you're paying for but not using — where AYP's lower price does more.

Does AYP offer the same platform features as Deel?
No, and it isn't trying to. AYP focuses on EOR, PEO, payroll, benefits, mobility and talent sourcing for APAC, not the broader global HRIS, contractor and IT tooling Deel offers. If APAC depth and a lower per-employee cost matter more to you than platform breadth, that's the trade-off.
Can I switch from Deel to AYP for my APAC employees?
Yes. AYP's regional advisors handle the migration of existing APAC employees directly, usually timed around a payroll cycle so there's no gap in compliance coverage.
Does AYP offer PEO the way Deel does?
Not quite the same way. AYP offers PEO as a distinct service line across its APAC markets. Deel's own site describes its PEO coverage as limited and regional, so it isn't available everywhere Deel operates as an EOR.
