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 ships dense payroll reporting and ATS depth ahead of AU compliance deadline.

Tanda is a workforce management platform serving Australian mid-market businesses, combining scheduling, payroll, and hiring under one roof. The September 2026 release batch shows sustained investment across all three pillars simultaneously, with particular density in payroll reporting accuracy and compliance tooling. The product is positioning AU regulatory complexity—Fair Work Commission award changes, contractor tax obligations—as a core differentiator rather than a chore.

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 ships dense payroll reporting and ATS depth ahead of AU compliance deadline.

◆ Current state

Tanda is a workforce management platform serving Australian mid-market businesses, combining scheduling, payroll, and hiring under one roof. The September 2026 release batch shows sustained investment across all three pillars simultaneously, with particular density in payroll reporting accuracy and compliance tooling. The product is positioning AU regulatory complexity—Fair Work Commission award changes, contractor tax obligations—as a core differentiator rather than a chore.

◆ Where it's heading

The three product lines are converging: rostering feeds payroll, payroll feeds compliance reporting, and Tanda Hire is graduating from job posting into a full candidate lifecycle tool. Custom talent pools, onboarding question capture, and SEEK multi-account support signal that hiring is becoming a first-class surface rather than an add-on. Expect continued depth in AU compliance tooling ahead of the October 2026 HPSS award changes, and more workflow automation tying the three modules together.

◆ Prediction

The next logical moves are pipeline analytics for Tanda Hire and automated payroll compliance alerts tied to the HPSS restructure effective October 2026; the groundwork laid in this batch points squarely in that direction.
