Choose Commenda if…

- You want incorporation, VAT, corporate tax, annual return, and transfer pricing in one place
Choose Deel if…

Common questions
An EOR (Deel or G-P) is a fair way to hire one or two people in Israel without a company. Once you need to invoice locally, hold IP, grow the team, or consolidate Israel into a group, an owned entity usually wins on total cost. Commenda sets up and runs that entity for you.
Deel's EOR fee is $599/employee/month. Statutory employer costs add roughly 19 to 23% on top of gross salary, and Deel requires a refundable deposit (1 to 1.5x monthly cost in Israel) plus an FX margin on payroll.
G-P pricing is quote-based with no public rate card; market estimates run roughly $800 to $1,000+ per employee per month, with statutory costs and a deposit (1 to 2 months gross salary) on top.
$2,630 for incorporation (billed USD, one-time), plus optional registered address $1,150/year, bank account opening $2,500 one-time, and annual maintenance $2,375/year. Israeli VAT of 18% applies on top. It is a fixed cost that does not scale per employee.
No. Israel requires at least one director, who may be a non-resident foreign national or foreign corporate representative. There is no resident or nominee director requirement, and 100% foreign ownership is allowed. Commenda sets up the entity remotely.
