Why Plane stands outWhy Plane stands out

Plane offers better payments and centralized management.

Local payments mean your contractors can get paid more
Plane supports local, or domestic, payments in 78 countries, which means contractors have no or very low-cost bank fees. Payments also go directly to your contractors’ bank accounts — no e-wallet required.

Customer testimonials

Hear what our customers are saying about Plane.

Julie Menge

HR Operations Lead at Help Scout

“It used to take hours to deal with monthly payments for our contractors from over a dozen countries. 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.”

Hiring a global and domestic team today means using multiple payroll and HR platforms. Plane brings together domestic and international payroll — and an HRIS — in one easy, yet powerful platform.
Contractor payments integrated into payroll
With Plane, contractor payments — including automated payments and bonuses — are part of the payroll flow for your whole team, rather than being a separate, second-class feature.
Access for you and your contractors
Contractors get their own Plane accounts, where they can submit payment requests & expense reports, check their payment status, and more, saving you time on answering payment questions.

Give your global contractors the same experience that your US team enjoys
Pay your contractors as smoothly as you do your US employees — straight to their bank accounts, with no e-wallet, and no expensive transaction fees.
No third-party agreements
With Plane, your contractors sign contracts directly with your company (though we’re happy to provide localized contract templates). There’s no need for your contractors to enter into agreements with Plane.
Responsive support team
Get 24/5 support (from humans!) for your entire team, including contractors. Plane offers support via email, chat, and your personal Slack channel. If your contractors have questions, we’ll answer them directly, so you don’t have to be a go-between.
Pay your team in local currency or USD
Would your contractor prefer to be paid in local currency or USD? We know preferences vary by currency and country, so we support both options.
