Hire, onboard, and pay contractors and employees in the U.S. and worldwide — without the busywork of compliance, manual admin, or stitched-together tools. Pay contractors in 240+ countries directly to their bank accounts, at optimal exchange rates and without having to use e-wallets. Bring on international full-time employees through Plane's Employer of Record (EOR) solution in 100+ countries, with locally compliant contracts, tax withholding, and compliance handled automatically. And manage U.S. (W2) employees in the same platform. This means one payroll run in one platform for every worker type. What sets Plane apart is that payroll actually runs itself. Plane handles state tax registration automatically, so you don't have to figure out compliance for every U.S. state where you're hiring. When a payment fails, Plane resolves the error and retries before it ever reaches your team. Set payroll to auto-approve and Plane handles the rest, or require manual sign-off — your call. For teams that want to go further, Plane's open API, MCP, and CLI let your existing tools and agents connect directly to Plane to run payroll and HR. Plane Agent is your AI-powered teammate, available in Slack, that lets you ask payroll questions, run reports, and handle routine tasks in plain language, around the clock. Plane's (human!) support team works directly with your contractors and employees — answering their questions and resolving issues so you don’t have to act as a go-between. And with transparent, per-seat pricing and no startup or hidden fees, you always know what you're paying. * * * Product Website Plane Seller [Plane](https://www.g2.com/sellers/plane) Discussions [Plane Community](https://www.g2.com/products/plane/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Asta So Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Plane. ### Pay contractors in 240+ countries $39.00 1 Active Contractor Per Month [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/plane/pricing) ## Plane Integrations (3) What do users say about integrations?

It's dated and rather complicated" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Plane? Ebony from customer service. Adding more characters, 'cause apparently I have to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Plane? The UI is dated and not user friendly. There should be a better system to give access to certain members and admins. It's all or nothing kind of system which no longer works in 2026. The access should be customizable for each role which should be set by an admin. The payroll section specifically. The team onboarding process for contractors also leaves room for improvement. It's being set as a task to manually enter from an admin side their hourly rate. They are contractors. It should not be mandatory to enter this. There should be ways to pre set certain settings for onboarding on the admin plane side. Generally there is room to improve the customizable aspect of the UI in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Plane solving and how is that benefiting you? So far Ebony Haughton (in case y'all have multiple) was able to help and explain every issue we have encountered. It's benefitting us in ways that she helps resolving the issue. BTW, I don't need that $20 gift card. Please give that to Ebony as a thank you instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/9/2022 "Easy for the employer, clunky for the employees" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Plane? Easy for the employer to hire from multiple countries with low effort and have the HR complexities outsourced and not have to worry about them. Automated expense and payroll handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Plane? Incredibly clunky and confusing onboarding for new employees.

KB Karina B. Senior Product Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/16/2021 "Not as good as expected" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Plane? I didn't know about such types of services, it's amazing! It allows being officially employed in Europe while you're working for a US company and you are not an EU citizen Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Plane? Pilot didn't have much experience in Czech Republic, and the employer change process was started almost two months later than it should. It was a very slow and long process with pretty unresponsive CSM (thankfully, I was assigned to Lisa, and she is my blessing). Additionally, it's not fully clear what local benefits applied in every case - e.g., a Multisport card in the Czech Republic is a widespread benefit but requires additional approval/negotiation to get it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Plane: If you are a foreigner in the country where Pilot is present - force them to provide you with a detailed plan of the entire process. Don't accept offer before you get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Plane solving and how is that benefiting you? My company doesn't have a legal entity in CR, but with Pilot I can be officially employed with all protection from local law (I hope. Not sure yet, Pilot doesn't seem experienced in it) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
