Use the same HRIS for all worker types. Onboard your whole team in one platform, see PTO for everyone at once, easily pull team data in custom reports, and more.
Get peace of mind with locally compliant agreements
Contractor agreements and employment contracts are all designed to meet local legal requirements in each jurisdiction. Compliance is built-in, not something you layer on top.
Human support for your whole team, including contractors

Pay for what you need
Only paying one contractor in a month? Good news! We only charge for active contractors each month. Ready to hire your first employee abroad? We’ve got you. Plane scales with you as you grow and doesn’t charge you for bloatware.
Local payment rails
International payments are routed through local rails, for faster settlement, lower fees, and fewer complaints. Paying globally feels like paying domestically.
Contractor-friendly exchange rates
All contractors should be paid fairly, regardless of their location. We don’t believe in making money through exorbitant markups. Our transparent, contractor-friendly rates means happier contractors and fewer complaints for you.
No e-wallet
Global contractors receive payment directly into their bank accounts, just like their U.S. counterparts do. They keep more of what you send. You hear less about it.
Why do customers choose Plane?
Julie Menge
HR Operations Lead, Help Scout
“It used to take hours to deal with monthly payments. The manual process was prone to error because of different banking websites and payment processors. Now, that hours-long operation takes about 10 minutes! Above that, many of our contractors now receive better exchange rates.”
Juan Caviglia
Co-Founder, Meitre
“For a long time, I’ve been looking for a solution to quickly process many payments at once. Finally, someone figured out a simple and powerful tool. Everything we need is here and features are being added each week. On top of all this, the team is super dedicated with magnificent support.”
Caelan Urquhart
CEO and Co-founder, Pipekit
“I’m very happy with Plane, and our contractors are happy as well. I definitely recommend Plane for contractors, especially for global contractor payments. That’s an impressive product.”
Thomas Hollands
Marketing Generalist, Wren
“Plane was enormously helpful for me to be able to take a job that I really enjoy and to be able to work effectively.”
Karl Hughes
Founder, Draft.dev
“I only hear good things from our contractors about Plane — how simple it is and how easy it is to get their money and see when they’ll get paid.”
Kyle Maurer
Director of Operations
“Plane is the solution I've been wishing for a long time! Plane has achieved the impossible: paying our international team is just as easy as paying our domestic one. Also, the Plane team has been incredibly responsive to all of my requests, no matter how small.”
