What is Deel?

Deel's public changelog went dark in late September 2025; the visible feed is now all stale.

Deel ended its public changelog blog on September 30, 2025, with a notice that all product news would move inside the product itself. The recent visible items, all from August and September 2025, were spread across Deel's portfolio: Deel IT APIs and webhooks v1 for device management, U.S. GAAP rental-term alignment for IT invoicing, Talent's briefing-call scheduling on job requests, a payroll tax-file-transfer dashboard for Deel Payroll US, and Astropay local-currency payouts for LATAM contractors. Nothing newer than that surfaces here.

What is Tanda?

Tanda locks bank-detail edits to payroll staff and seals payslips against tampering.

Tanda's workforce and payroll platform shipped a run of payroll controls and HR integrations in a week. Managers can no longer edit employees' bank details, payroll officers can be limited to specific company files, and payslips now carry a QR seal that lenders can verify. It also added Word contract templates for AU and NZ, an ANCC police-check integration, and a notice on the Clerks Award working-from-home variation.

Deel vs Tanda: editorial side-by-side

Deel logo0.0

Deel's public changelog went dark in late September 2025; the visible feed is now all stale.

◆ Current state

Deel ended its public changelog blog on September 30, 2025, with a notice that all product news would move inside the product itself. The recent visible items, all from August and September 2025, were spread across Deel's portfolio: Deel IT APIs and webhooks v1 for device management, U.S. GAAP rental-term alignment for IT invoicing, Talent's briefing-call scheduling on job requests, a payroll tax-file-transfer dashboard for Deel Payroll US, and Astropay local-currency payouts for LATAM contractors. Nothing newer than that surfaces here.

◆ Where it's heading

What's visible is the trajectory of a feed that went dark, not the product's. Through summer 2025, Deel was actively shipping across IT, Talent, Payroll, and Contractor surfaces — clearly trying to be the all-in-one workforce stack rather than just an EOR. Without an in-product crawl or alternative source, there is no external signal about what has shipped from October onward, which is a real gap for any outside observer.

◆ Prediction

Deel is presumably still shipping at the August 2025 cadence inside the product, but external aggregators will need to source signal differently — Deel's marketing blog, partner announcements, or in-product changelog content if it can be reached. Expect continued breadth across the workforce stack (IT, Payroll, Talent, Contractors) rather than depth on any single surface, based on the pattern visible before the feed went silent.

T7.5

Tanda locks bank-detail edits to payroll staff and seals payslips against tampering.

◆ Current state

Tanda's workforce and payroll platform shipped a run of payroll controls and HR integrations in a week. Managers can no longer edit employees' bank details, payroll officers can be limited to specific company files, and payslips now carry a QR seal that lenders can verify. It also added Word contract templates for AU and NZ, an ANCC police-check integration, and a notice on the Clerks Award working-from-home variation.

◆ Where it's heading

Tanda Payroll is getting the access controls and fraud protections that larger and franchise employers expect, alongside steady award compliance updates. Hiring and onboarding keep gaining integrations, such as SMS in Hire and police checks.

◆ Prediction

Expect more permission scoping in payroll and further verification or compliance features built on the payslip seal.
