The Best Deel Alternatives in Colombia for 2026

Deel operates as a traditional global EOR provider that directly hires your team members while imposing substantial service fees and unfavorable exchange rates, often pushing monthly costs beyond $1,000 per worker. NEO takes a different approach as a marketplace platform, linking you with carefully screened local service providers delivering equivalent solutions at competitive regional pricing between $150-300 monthly per employee. You maintain direct contact with your chosen provider while leveraging NEO’s integrated platform to oversee all operations. By removing unnecessary intermediary markups from the equation, NEO typically delivers savings of 50-70% compared to traditional alternatives.

Direct payment goes to your local service provider, while NEO simply collects a modest platform fee for maintaining the connection infrastructure and offering administrative tools. Transparency is guaranteed—no surprise charges or currency conversion markups included.
