Best App. I use Deel on daily due to my team at offshore. Monthly, Weekly payments are send without any effort but more importantly it’s so seamless and user friendly. Shout out to the amazing Team!

HR migration to Deel. Our company just switched to using deel this year for payroll and it’s not straight forward at all. You’d think changing tax withholding would be easy but nope. Also the app is full of latency everytime you log on. It’s not smooth. Takes several seconds/min ...

App StoreMay 28, 2026

Why so many updates??. Why is this app constantly having so many updates? And at the same time they don’t provide any details as to what they are doing new. They just say “it’s a lot of updates”. If I am using the app, I deserve to know what the updates are. At the same time, it’...

No good. The app just does not work. Every time I try to open the app the name just keeps scrolling. Like how am I suppose to access my money

App StoreApr 27, 2026

Worst payroll app. I do not recommend. They have no direct workaround if employee payments are missed. The employee just has to wait until that figure out why they cannot pay.

Public discussion of Deel over the past four weeks was modest in volume but notably mixed in tone, with complaint themes clearly outweighing praise. The dominant thread running through aggregated mentions was a sense of missing or incomplete functionality, with feature gaps drawing the most consistent criticism. UI complaints followed closely, suggesting that commenters found the interface frustrating to navigate in its current state. Privacy concerns and bug reports appeared at lower frequency but added to an overall picture of unease among portions of the user base.

The score trajectory over the observed window was volatile rather than steady, swinging sharply between near-floor readings and brief spikes. An early low point in the first weeks was followed by a short-lived surge, after which sentiment dropped again before partially recovering in the most recent data. This pattern suggested that positive experiences were isolated and episodic, while negative reactions were more persistent across the window. The most recent aggregated period showed a concentration of mentions alongside a middling score, implying that renewed attention did not translate into broadly warmer sentiment.

On the praise side, a handful of commenters acknowledged solid integration behavior and called out specific features favorably, with a small number of mentions touching on performance and AI-related quality. These positive notes existed but did not appear to form a coherent chorus, feeling more scattered than the complaint themes.

Opinion was most divided around feature requests, which appeared in both praise and complaint groupings, indicating that some commenters framed missing capabilities as an opportunity while others expressed sharper frustration. This split reflected genuine tension in how different segments of the audience related to the product's current state.
