"It's very much set it and forget it, which is nice. I don't need to look at Plane. I just want our team to get paid."

Plane automates the parts of payroll that consume your time.

Pay, compliance, leave, onboarding, taxes — everything that comes with having a team. You approve. Plane executes.

Compliance happens the moment you hire someone new.

When you add a new employee in a state you've never hired in before, Plane files the payroll tax registration automatically. When you bring on a contractor in a new country, Plane builds the locally compliant contract, calculates the employer taxes, and handles the security deposit.

When a payment goes wrong, Plane handles it.

Most payroll platforms route payment errors back to your HR rep and tell them to sort it out. Plane works through the error directly, retries the payment, and if it can't resolve it automatically, contacts the worker to fix the details.

Sandbox

Your agents and tools connect to Plane without restrictions.

Most payroll platforms lock API access behind enterprise contracts or partner programs. Plane's API is fully open by default. CLI and MCP support means it's callable from your terminal or from agents you've already built in Claude or other tools.

Test any integration before it touches live payroll.

Plane includes a sandbox environment that mirrors your production setup. Run your agent workflows, test your API connections, and confirm everything works exactly as expected before a real payroll run is involved.

Agents run the work, you approve the outcome.

Automations and agents handle every step of the payroll process, but nothing goes out without a human decision behind it. You set the rules, your agents execute against them, and Plane holds the run until you approve it.

Unified payroll for every worker type

U.S. employees, global contractors, and EOR (employer of record) hires can all be on the same payroll run. No stitching platforms together at month-end. Plane supports contractors in 240+ countries and employees in 100+ countries, including the U.S.

HRIS included for everyone

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.

Human support for your whole team, including contractors

You don’t have to be the help desk for your team. Our Support team directly supports everyone on your team, including employees, contractors, and vendors.

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.”
