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 keeps closing the AU/NZ payroll loop — now MYOB journals and contractor pay.

Tanda is shipping steadily across payroll, rostering, and HR with a clear AU/NZ compliance focus. Recent moves add a MYOB accounting integration (after Xero), contractor classification inside payroll, under-18 super-fund warnings, a roster-publishing guardrail, and award wage-increase notices. The work is operational depth on an existing workflow rather than new territory.

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 keeps closing the AU/NZ payroll loop — now MYOB journals and contractor pay.

◆ Current state

Tanda is shipping steadily across payroll, rostering, and HR with a clear AU/NZ compliance focus. Recent moves add a MYOB accounting integration (after Xero), contractor classification inside payroll, under-18 super-fund warnings, a roster-publishing guardrail, and award wage-increase notices. The work is operational depth on an existing workflow rather than new territory.

◆ Where it's heading

Tanda is consolidating into an end-to-end workforce-to-payroll-to-accounting pipeline: time and roster data flows through payroll into Xero and now MYOB journals, while compliance guardrails (super reminders, PAYG/STP handling for contractors, award updates) cut manual risk. The pattern is closing gaps in the AU/NZ payroll workflow, not widening scope.

◆ Prediction

Expect more accounting-integration parity and compliance automation — likely additional award updates around the 30 June pay-period changes and continued rollout of the contractor and terminations features still in gradual release.
