Deel IT (Previously Hofy) vs Allwhere: MDM Included in a $49 Seat, or Your Own Jamf or Intune

Deel IT vs Allwhere is a choice some teams never finish making. One team that used both told us: "Neither Deel IT nor Allwhere covers all our countries … we're using both and still have gaps." Two portals, two invoices and still no single owner.

The cost of a gap shows up when somebody leaves. In Capterra's 2022 offboarding research, 71% of 287 HR workers reported at least one leaver who kept company equipment. This guide sets the two vendors side by side on price, ease of use, support, integrations, device management and coverage, then adds a third option.

Deel IT's G2 page mixes in reviews of Deel payroll, so the table uses Trustpilot, where the newest review is from October 2025. All 8 of Allwhere's G2 reviews date from 2023 and every one was incentivized. Competitor figures were read in September and October 2026.

Who Is Deel IT Best For?

In October 2026, Deel's pricing page lists three Equip bundles, each billed per user a month: Starter $49, Growth $139 and Scale $149. Deel IT is the device arm of Deel's payroll and employment suite. Deel bought Hofy in July 2024, as TechCrunch reported, and renamed it Deel IT that September. Three kinds of buyer get the most from it.

• Companies that pay people through Deel: payroll, EOR, contractors and laptops share one account, and Deel's own Deel IT page counts 40,000+ customers across the suite.
• Teams with no device management yet: Starter brings MDM and endpoint protection with the first seat.
• Teams that want access control from the same vendor: Scale adds access management, and Deel bought Clarity, an identity-security company, in August 2026.

The device side has a thin public record, which our Deel IT reviews round-up reads in full: 30 Trustpilot reviews, none newer than October 2025.

For Whom Is Allwhere Useful?

Allwhere quotes 4 to 6 business days for a new device in the US or Canada, in help center pages updated in September 2026. It was founded in 2021 inside DESCOvery, the venture studio of the D. E. Shaw group, and added a Canadian depot and entity in February 2026. In August 2026 it announced a larger UK depot. Three kinds of buyer fit it best.

• Teams whose hires sit mostly in North America: Allwhere's own timelines show the split, with 7 to 10 business days for a new device in Europe against 4 to 6 at home.
• Teams that already license an MDM: Allwhere connects to Jamf, Iru (formerly Kandji) and Microsoft Intune, and lists no device management product of its own.
• Teams that want to pay per use: there is no platform fee and no minimum, terms Tequipy offers too.

Its G2 page holds 8 reviews at 4.6, every one incentivized and all dated 2023, so the score says little about the service today.

Tequipy: An Alternative

Tequipy's co-founder led IT at Revolut while its staff grew from 100 in 2 offices to 5,000 across 17, and no laptop was lost on the way. More than 200 companies now buy through the service built on that experience. Set against one or both of these vendors, four things differ:

• Headcount does not set the bill: devices and services are charged as they are used, and nobody pays a monthly fee per employee.
• The MDM stays yours: Macs are registered in your Apple Business Manager and Windows laptops in Autopilot before they ship, at no charge.
• Recommended retail price: an $1,800 MacBook costs $1,800, delivery included, with no store fee and no percentage on top.
• One service set in 180+ countries: procurement, retrieval, storage and redeployment run wherever a device is delivered.

Deel IT's row comes from its pricing page and help centre, Allwhere's from its Pricing Guide, both read in September and October 2026. Ours are on the Tequipy pricing page.

In a year, a 100-person team pays Deel IT $58,800 in Starter seats and Tequipy $2,856 for platform and services, $55,944 less before hardware. Each Deel IT hire adds $588 a year ($49 a user a month), MDM and endpoint protection included. Allwhere has no seat; seven $2,000 laptops cost $14,560 with its 4%, before shipping, against $14,000 at Tequipy, delivery included, though vendor cost may undercut retail. The first 100 devices carry no platform fee; after that, $99 a month flat at any fleet size, plus $199 a month for HRIS sync. Try your own numbers.

Price

The two vendors charge for different things. Deel IT bills for people, Allwhere bills for orders, so the cheaper one depends on how often you buy.

Deel IT Pricing

• Three bundles priced per user: Starter covers the platform, device lifecycle management, MDM and endpoint protection. Growth adds 24/7 IT support and Scale adds access management. Deel says any item "can also be purchased standalone" but publishes no standalone price.
• A free plan for ordering only: the help centre describes Essentials as "No subscription fee, no contract required". It leaves out MDM, endpoint protection and lifecycle services, and each order goes on a card.
• Pro needs paperwork: the same help centre page says the Pro plan "Requires signed order form".
• Hardware is priced from a US list: Deel's help centre bases every device on the US recommended retail price, then adds a store fee that customers put at 25%. One customer's quote came to $3,300 for a $2,000 laptop.

A Deel IT customer, still on the Hofy name at the time, told us the procurement side had "too many fees being added to it".

Allwhere Pricing

• 4% on every transaction: per its published Pricing Guide, Allwhere charges the device at vendor cost and adds a 4% service fee to each transaction, with shipping and tax on top.
• A fee for each service in each region: deployment from a depot is $75 in the US and $115 in the EU or UK, and our Allwhere pricing breakdown sets out the rest by region. Retrieval within a region is $120 in the US and $250 in Europe.
• Crossing a border costs more: only the US depot ships across borders, and bringing a laptop back to the US from the EU, UK or Australia costs $525.
• Small extras add up: a Certificate of Erasure is $25, a repair diagnostic $99 and an address change $30 plus carrier cost.

No platform fee and no minimum apply, and Tequipy matches both.

Verdict on Price

Allwhere wins for a team that orders a few laptops a year, because nothing is charged until an order exists. Deel IT can make sense for a team that would otherwise buy an MDM and endpoint protection separately, since both sit inside the $49 seat.

Pro tip: count the MDM seats you already pay for before you price a Deel IT seat. Write down your current MDM and endpoint tools, what each costs per device, and when each contract renews. If you already pay for Jamf or Intune, Starter's $49 includes a second management layer you may not use. Ask Deel for the standalone price of the items you would keep, in writing, then compare that figure with Allwhere's 4% on a year of your real orders.

Ease of Use

Ease of use here means how many steps sit between a new hire and a working laptop.

Deel IT Ease of Use

• One login for HR and IT: onboarding, payroll and the device order live in the same Deel account, which removes a handoff between teams.
• Admins only on the free plan: on Essentials, workers cannot order for themselves, so every device request passes through an admin.
• Devices arrive enrolled: on the paid bundles, laptops come pre-configured and enrolled in the MDM Deel supplies.

Allwhere Ease of Use

• Pre-approved kits: an admin sets the equipment each team or region may choose, and employees pick from that menu.
• A retrieval without an account: a one-time return can be booked without signing up.
• Answers in public help pages: lead times, prices and regional service levels sit in an open help center, so many questions are settled before a call.

Verdict on Ease of Use

Deel IT is easier for a company whose HR team already lives in Deel. Allwhere is easier for an IT team that wants logistics without changing its other tools.

Customer Support

Support decides how fast a stuck order moves, and the two vendors sell it differently.

Deel IT Support

• 24/7 IT support costs more: it starts with the Growth bundle at $139 per user a month, not with Starter.
• A quiet public record: the hofy.com Trustpilot profile, now named "Deel IT (Previously Hofy)", holds 30 reviews at 3.3, and the newest dates from October 2025.

Allwhere Support

• Slack and email: two 2023 G2 reviews say the staff respond quickly to questions.
• US hours in newer regions: its help center says support for Beta regions runs on Eastern time, so an answer can arrive the next business day.

Verdict on Support

Allwhere has the better-documented support record, although every review behind it is three years old. Deel IT sells round-the-clock help, but only from the second bundle up.

Tequipy answers in a shared Slack channel set up for each customer. Gigs, which hires in 20 countries, calls the team "hands-down one of the most responsive and solution-oriented teams I've worked with" in its case study.

Integrations

Connections matter because they decide whether a hire entered in HR becomes a device order with nobody typing it twice.

Deel IT Integrations

• The Deel suite itself: payroll, EOR, contractor management and devices share one data source, so a hire in Deel can trigger the device flow.
• Software buying next to hardware: Deel bought Sastrify, a SaaS procurement platform, in May 2026, which Reworked reported pushes Deel IT into software buying.

Allwhere Integrations

• MDM: Jamf, Iru and Microsoft Intune. The Iru connection went live in February 2026.
• Identity: Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace.
• HRIS: a marketplace of 150+ connectors, including Workday, ADP Workforce Now, Gusto and BambooHR, plus a customer API expanded in January 2026.

Verdict on Integrations

Deel IT goes deepest into Deel's own suite, while Allwhere reaches further into third-party tools. Tequipy offers a one-way sync from HiBob, BambooHR or Workday at $199 a month, and assigns each device to Apple Business Manager or Windows Autopilot before it ships. With that in place, zero-touch deployment runs the same under Jamf, Intune or Kandji.

Device Management and Security: In the Seat or Your Own

This is the real fork between the two. One vendor sells the management layer, the other assumes you have one.

Deel IT Device Management

• MDM and endpoint protection in Starter: each $49 seat carries both, so a company with no MDM gets one with its first device.
• Certificates: Deel IT lists SOC 1, 2 and 3, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance.
• Pro buyers pick pieces: on the Pro plan, the help centre lists MDM and endpoint protection as "Available for purchase".

Allwhere Device Management

• Your MDM, connected: devices enroll into the Jamf, Iru or Intune account you already run.
• Enrollment varies by country: its Beta page warns that automated ABM or MDM enrollment "isn't available in every Beta region". Its order timelines page adds that manual Autopilot enrollment can take 48 hours longer in some regions.
• Wipe proof at a price: a Certificate of Erasure costs $25 per device.

Verdict on Device Management

A team with no MDM and a payroll account on Deel gets the most from Deel IT's bundle. A team that already pays for Jamf or Intune gets nothing extra from that bundle, and Allwhere fits it better inside North America and Europe.

Tequipy is ISO 27001 certified and hands penetration test reports to security teams on request. Its SOC 2 work is not finished yet, so ask about progress when you book a demo.

Coverage: Why Teams End Up Running Both

The quote at the top of this guide came from a team that needed two vendors because neither reached every country.

Deel IT Coverage

• More than 130 countries: that is the headline figure, and Deel publishes no table showing which services run in which country.
• Gaps buyers report: on a sales call, one buyer told us Armenia sat outside Deel IT's reach.
• Speed claims: Deel's blog states an average of 99% on-time delivery, its own figure.

Allwhere Coverage

• A list of 54 countries: the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia do not appear on it.
• A procurement-only tier: 15 of the 50 countries on its Beta grid offer procurement only, with no retrieval, deployment or storage. Japan is listed but marked "Coming soon" for every service.
• Slower outside North America: new devices take 7 to 10 business days in the EU, the UK, its main Latin American markets and Australia.

Verdict on Coverage

Deel IT claims more countries; Allwhere shows more detail about the ones it serves. For a hiring map that runs past North America and Europe, check both lists against your countries before signing anything.

Gigs' people operations specialist puts the difference this way in the Gigs case study: "While many vendors say they're global, Tequipy actually delivers." RemoFirst, whose people team describes deliveries, repairs and retrievals across 30 countries, now safeguards nearly $2,000 per employee in potential losses.

How to Choose a Device Lifecycle Platform

Before comparing features, run these three checks against your own team.

Start From the MDM You Already License

Your existing tools decide half the answer. If you run Jamf or Intune today, a vendor that sells MDM inside a seat duplicates a cost. If you run nothing, a bundle can be the quickest way to get managed devices. Tequipy works with either case: it registers each device in ABM or Autopilot, so it enrolls into whichever MDM you choose, now or later.

Price a Quiet Month as Well as a Busy One

A per-user fee runs whether you order or not. A per-order fee follows your hiring. Take your slowest month last year and your busiest one, and price both with each vendor. Tequipy charges no platform fee for up to 100 devices and bills services only when they happen.

Give Every Country One Owner

A second vendor fixes one gap and opens another: two portals, two invoices, two support channels. List each hiring country and name the vendor that would own procurement, retrieval and storage there. Booksy began with Latin America, the region it found hardest, and only later handed Tequipy its other markets, as the Booksy case study describes.

Alternative to Both: Tequipy

Tequipy runs the physical side of the device lifecycle for companies hiring in several countries, beside the MDM and HR systems they already use.

Key Features

Three features answer the gaps in this comparison: country coverage, device management and returns.

Bought Inside the Hire's Country

Orders are filled through 600+ authorized resellers, from stock already in the destination country. Laptops do not cross a border, so nothing waits in customs. Delivery averages 3 business days and takes 10 at most anywhere. Deliveries have reached a war zone in Ukraine, and global device procurement runs the same way in every covered country.

Enrolled Into the MDM You Choose

Before dispatch, Tequipy assigns each Mac to your Apple Business Manager and registers each Windows laptop with Autopilot. The employee switches it on and it joins your MDM, be that Jamf, Intune, Kandji or another tool. That automatic step costs nothing, and a country that needs hands-on setup gets a separate quote.

Returns and Storage on Devices From Any Supplier

When someone leaves, Tequipy emails the employee, ships packaging, books the courier, then wipes and inspects the laptop. From there it is stored, sent to the next hire or sold back for cash. Sending a stored laptop to the next starter runs $180 to $240, where a new machine would cost $1,500 to $2,500. The laptop retrieval service also handles devices bought from Deel IT, Allwhere or anyone else.

Tequipy Pricing

Every rate in this table comes from the public pricing page.

Where Tequipy Shines

• No seat to buy: Allwhere charges no seat either, but next to Deel IT the gap is plain: a tenth hire costs the same platform fee as the first. That fee is $99 a month flat at any fleet size, and it is waived for up to 100 devices.
• Any MDM, no lock-in: devices enroll into your own tools, and services work on laptops bought elsewhere.
• Proof on delivery dates: 99% of Booksy's equipment arrived before the employee's start date, as Booksy's case study reports.

Where Tequipy Falls Short

• SOC 2 is not finished yet. It is in progress, so ask the team for an update on a demo call if your vendor review names it.
• No leasing or financing. Tequipy sells each laptop outright at retail price, and there is no lease or finance plan in any market. Teams that want hardware off the balance sheet are better served by Deel IT, which rents devices for 12 or 24 months.
• No spending limit per order. Anyone with admin rights can place an order. For internal sign-off, the team issues a quote first.

Tequipy Customer Reviews

Tequipy holds 4.9 out of 5 from four G2 reviews in October 2026, too few to carry an average alone. One reviewer values having buying, repairs, offboarding and storage "in a single platform, instead of forcing IT teams to coordinate across multiple vendors", in a July 2026 G2 review.

TapTap Send replaced three purchasing processes with one. Its director of IT and security credits "the transparency of their pricing and process" in the TapTap Send case study.

Who Tequipy Is Best For

• Globally distributed teams of any size: 50 devices in three countries get the same rates and process as 5,000 across 15 or more.
• Companies opening their first country abroad: the day you hire somewhere with no office and no local supplier is the day shipping from headquarters starts to fail.
• Teams that already run an MDM: Tequipy adds logistics without adding a second management layer.

{{cta-primary}}

Which of the Two Needs an MDM Licence of Your Own?

Allwhere. It connects to Jamf, Iru or Microsoft Intune, which you license separately. Deel IT's Starter bundle, at $49 per user a month, includes MDM and endpoint protection.

What Does Each Vendor Charge in a Month With No Hires?

It depends on the plan. Deel IT's paid bundles bill each user every month. Allwhere charges nothing until an order or service happens. Tequipy charges no platform fee for up to 100 devices.

Why Would a Company Use Deel IT and Allwhere Together?

Usually to fill country gaps. Neither reaches every hiring country, so some teams split their countries between the two. The cost is two portals, two invoices and gaps that can remain.

Which One Publishes Delivery Times by Country?

Allwhere. Its help pages give 4 to 6 business days for a new device in the US and Canada, and 7 to 10 across the EU, the UK, its main Latin American markets and Australia. Deel IT gives one figure: under 10 working days.

Who Gives You a Certificate When a Laptop Is Wiped?

All three do. Allwhere charges $25 for a Certificate of Erasure, and Deel IT lists certified erasure. Tequipy includes a basic wipe certificate with offboarding and offers Blancco wipes and destruction certificates through IT asset disposition.
