    It's helpful for top of marketing funnel writing that we can sometimes lose sight of because we are so ingrained in the product day to day. Contently is also helpful for long written pieces and ebooks that will take a significant amount of employee time to put together. I avoid using Contently for mid to bottom funnel marketing writing because my team will often have greater insight into the product function or use-case or product release, making them more adroit to the tone of the written piece and able to produce the content quickly.

    Deel has been incredible at streamlining the platforms we used into one while still supporting employees across several countries and contract types. If you're a multi-country team, this is a great option to run just basic HRIS items, but has the potential to be as integrated and detailed as you want - and they are still building!

    Cons
    Contently
    • I have been using it for 3.5 years, and have had no response from potential clients.
    • The portfolio section is pretty easy to use, but I don't love the format.
    • Since I'm not a client, I don't know just how easy it is for them to find new freelancers or how often it is actually used.
    • Probably more suited for some types/concentrations of freelance writers, like finance, tech, or healthcare.

    • I didn't like that you can no longer manage your teams with Deel IT without a paid service. You could before, and it was an excellent option! I don't know why they removed it. (No me gustó que ahora no podas gestionar tus equipos con deel IT sin tener el servicio pago. Antes si se podía y era una excelente opción! No sé por qué lo quitaron).
    • That at the time of reviewing invoices for payment at the end of the month, they are sorted alphabetically and that the "search" filter works correctly.
    • (Que al momento de la revisión de invoices para pago a fin de mes, éstos estén ordenados alfabéticamente y que el filtro "buscar" funcione correctamente).
    • There's a pop-up that keeps appearing on the platform: "new version available, update" it's really annoying. (Hay un pop up que aparece constantemente en la plataforma: "new version available, update" la verdad es muy molesto).

    We have been using this software for the last two years in the company of the a.m. Right now, I am part of the admin team for this software, so just being able to have a 1:1 usage of the software has helped me to realize how many aspects any other saw HR tool are lacking.

    The system does everything you would want it to. There are times when it is clunky, and navigation and responsiveness could be improved, but the Deel team listens to feedback and aims to implement solutions whenever they can. It is constantly improving and has become a much better system than when we first started utilizing it. We see it only improving in the future, too.

    I'm giving them a 10, but honestly, I've never reached out to them. I do see them putting out regular content on social media, so they might be responsive to questions there as well as regular customer support. In their posts and communication, they do seem to value their community, so hopefully, they have good customer support. And I've seen them asking for pitches from their community to publish well-paid articles during this stressful coronavirus time, and I really appreciate that.

    I also opened an account with Skyword in 2019, which is a similar service. The person that recommended it was a travel writer, and since I've done that as well, I thought it might be a better fit. To this point, I've received no work from it either, and don't hold out a lot of hope. As previously mentioned, where I think Contently does well is by giving you an online portfolio, additional resources like a blog for learning, and a rates database for publications.

    I only worked with them briefly but found Deel to be superior in almost every way. Deel's offers substantially more features and functionality for a global team with dynamic needs. However if we were only operating in Germany Personio would be a strong contender given its specialization but for us this didnt make up for Deels flexibility and breadth

    • The amount of time Contently has saved our internal creative writing staff has more than paid for itself!

    • Very positive, has saved me days of legal and admin work.
    • Made us globally compliant and has allowed us to hire in all jurisdictions without having to worry about legal implications.
    • Allows us to scale the company easily, hire from all over the world, and provide a fast and easy solution for payments.
    • Contractors are also extremely happy with Deel as they receive the payment quickly, are [able] to submit expenses easily, and it's all automated.
