that runs itself
Save hours on admin work, compliance & tool juggling. Plane unifies global HR, payroll & compliance for contractors and employees in one place — with expert support that handles the hard stuff for you.
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.”
