What does Deel HR Core include?
Deel HR Core includes worker profiles, org charts, documents, workflows, time off, time tracking, approvals and reporting. Deel prices it at $5 per person per month. Deel HR Core is a paid plan on Deel's own site, not a free one. PeopleMuster covers leave, attendance, timesheets and client projects for $3 per person per month.
Deel's HRIS page, read on 24 September 2026, lists the plan in one sentence: "Worker profiles, org charts, documents, workflows, time off, time tracking, approvals, and reporting." It then adds: "This is what you get with Deel HR Core, at $5 per person per month."
You'll often read that Deel HR is free. Deel's own pages put a price on Core, so budget $5 per person per month when you compare. Deel bills month to month, and you can cancel any time.
So yes, Deel HR Core covers leave, as time off with approvals, and it covers time tracking. Deel sells the rest of its range separately: contractor management, employer of record and a hiring tool each carry their own price.
If you run a services firm, the next question is where the tracked time goes. You'll want hours logged against client projects, a view of who's free next week, and a record of who turned up on time.
PeopleMuster covers that in one system. Your people log hours by project each day, with approvals. The capacity plan shows everyone by day, with approved leave and holidays already inside it. Utilisation reports show hours by project and department.
Attendance comes from a fingerprint terminal on your office network or from browser check-in, which an admin switches on. Reports show each person's on-time rate and late minutes. The directory and org chart come from your reporting lines.
You pay $3 per person, per month, with every module included. Your first 14 days are free with no card, and you can cancel any time.
