How we evaluated Velocity Global
This review rests on 20 facts checked against Velocity Global’s official pricing pages and documentation, most recently on . We did not test the product hands-on: the score and the pros and cons use only those verified facts, as our methodology explains, and third-party ratings are quoted, never scored.
Our verdict
Velocity Global, rebranded as Pebl, fits companies that hire employees abroad without opening an entity and want a published starting price: EOR is from $399 per employee a month, with no setup or offboarding fees. Pebl supports 90% of its employees through entities it owns, holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and a SOC 2 report, and lists 250+ integrations. It is less suited to buyers who need the final price for a given country online, since country pricing is quoted.

Country pricing by quote
EOR starts at $399 per employee a month, but the price for a given country depends on the employee profile and local requirements and is quoted.
Evidence: Starting price per employee: $399/employee/mo
Name change in progress
Velocity Global now trades as Pebl, so older quotes, contracts and reviews use the previous name for the same service.
Evidence: Vendor: Pebl (formerly Velocity Global)
