Deel vs Enocta

Deel is a global HR and payroll platform founded in San Francisco in 2019 by Alex Bouaziz and Shuo Wang. It lets companies hire contractors and full-time employees in more than 150 countries, either through Deel's own employer of record (EOR) entities, where Deel legally employs the worker on your behalf, or through payroll for entities you already own.

The product is modular. Contractor management handles localized contracts, invoices and payouts in many currencies; EOR covers employment contracts, benefits, taxes and statutory filings; Global Payroll consolidates payroll for your own entities; and Deel HR is an HRIS with org charts, time off and documents. Add-ons cover immigration and visa support, equipment provisioning, IT management and engagement tools. Contractor, EOR, payroll and HR modules are each priced per worker per month.

Deel suits remote-first startups and scale-ups hiring across many countries, including Turkey, where it can employ staff without a local company. EOR is expensive per employee, so companies often open their own entity once headcount in one country grows. Support quality varies by country, and the breadth of modules adds complexity. Remote.com and Oyster are direct EOR rivals, Rippling is stronger when US payroll and IT are central, and Gusto is simpler for US-only teams.

Enocta is an Istanbul-based corporate learning company founded in 1999, with offices in Istanbul and Ankara. It reports about 550 corporate customers and more than 3 million active users, with names such as Petrol Ofisi, İGA, Getir, Boyner, Limak Cement and Nurol Holding. Turkish private equity firm Turkven invested in 2024, and in July 2026 Enocta joined Aquila, a Canadian investor in vertical software, through a majority stake deal. Its core job is to run employee training end to end: planning, delivery, content and measurement.

The Enocta Platform LMS manages digital and classroom training in one place, with AI-supported tools and personalised guidance, analytics and reporting, mobile access, gamification and social learning spaces. Enocta Katalog is a subscription library of 9,000+ items and 900+ digital trainings from 70+ partners; Enocta was also Coursera's first corporate channel partner in Turkey. Newer AI products include Personas for voice role-play practice, Podcast Studio that turns documents into dialogue podcasts, and Slide Studio for generating presentations and videos. The Udepa line adds competency assessment, performance management and mentoring. Pricing is quote-based.

Enocta fits mid-sized and large Turkish organisations that want local support, Turkish content and KVKK-aligned processing in one vendor. Docebo has a broader global ecosystem and TalentLMS is cheaper and self-serve for smaller teams.

Buying tip: ask which modules are bundled, since LMS, Katalog content and Udepa are sold separately, and confirm SCORM and HR system integration in the demo.
