Plane Overview

What is Plane?

Plane is a comprehensive payroll and HR solution that enables US-based companies to hire, onboard, and pay US and international employees and contractors. Our platform simplifies global payroll processes, ensuring that businesses can efficiently and compliantly manage their workforce across borders. With the ability to send payments to contractors in over 240 countries at optimal exchange rates, Plane ensures that international contractors receive a payroll experience comparable to that of US employees. Contractors are paid directly to their bank accounts, eliminating the need for e-wallets and associated withdrawal fees. For companies considering hiring full-time employees, Plane offers a seamless Employer of Record (EOR) solution. Hire employees in more than 100 countries without having to set up your own local entities. Plane takes care of essential employment paperwork, tax withholding, and compliance requirements, allowing companies to focus on their core operations. The transparent pricing model, featuring a flat monthly fee with no startup, cancellation, or hidden costs, further distinguishes Plane from many EOR services.

Our expert team is available to provide guidance on whether to classify a new hire as an employee or a contractor, ensuring that businesses make informed decisions without any bias or hidden agendas. Plane’s world-class support team also provides direct customer support to your contractors and employees, so that you don’t have to act as a go-between. In summary, Plane is designed to simplify the complexities of payroll, HR, and compliance for US-based companies operating in a global market.

What do you like best about Plane?

Simplicity. They handle all the taxes & insurance when working for the US company — transparently, easily, effortlessly. This kind of employment was even suitable for citizenship process — it is not different from any other employment. This kind of employment also enables me to use all the social entitlements & benefits (de facto & de jure paid from the salary as mandatory insurances) — unlike if the freelancing mode were used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plane?

Speed. The request handling speed was critically slow in the most needed moments: while the response speed was fast, the requested simple employment certificate took 10-15d to produce (because of the delays in the underlying country-specific company). Also, the annual tax forms are prepared closer to the deadline (March), while other local companies make it in the 1st-2nd week of January. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plane solving and how is that benefiting you?

Employment into an American company while staying a resident in Germany: first, as a foreign national on a permanent residency, then as a local citizen. This has simplified all the paperwork — taxes & medical and social contributons — to the level of a plain & simple regular employment into a German company — contrary to the typically used freelancer mode, where I had to do all this myself or hire accountants + tax advisers. Among other things, this kind of employment enabled me to get the local citizenship the easy way as a regular employee, also without difficulties of freelancers' audit & extra proof of stable income. In all cases, the estimated service cost (either implicit or explicit) would be the same in money terms, but it saved me a lot of nerves and mental health. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Plane?

Using Plane to receive payments has been a smooth and efficient experience. The platform makes it easy to track incoming payments, with clear transaction details and a user-friendly dashboard. Payments are processed quickly, and the notifications help me stay updated without constantly checking the system.

I also appreciate the transparency—there are no hidden fees, and the interface provides a clear breakdown of transactions. The ability to withdraw funds effortlessly is a huge plus, making cash flow management much easier.

One area for improvement could be adding more withdrawal options or faster transfer times for certain banks, but overall, Plane is a reliable and convenient solution for receiving payments. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plane?

The service keeps me informed about the current money transfer stage. Despite the single case of delay which is not due to Plane.com itself, the service sends money even earlier than expected. I should admit quick and helpful support from Plane.com people. They quickly resolve an issue and keep informed me about the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plane?

Nothing to mention at the moment. Maybe I have few experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plane solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm the contractor and I believe the Plane.com resolves the problems for my employer to send per month payments as a compensation to me and others. For me the only benefit is the visibility of payment terms and steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I had an issue with entering my payment information to receive my salary that month, I remember a company representative quickly contacted me, instructing me on when I would receive my payment, what I needed to do, and what type of information I should enter into the platform.

What do you like best about Plane?

What do you like best about Plane?

I must say that I did not know them until recently and I must say that my experience has been positive overall, both from a management and technical support point of view, without delays in both circumstances. As far as I am concerned, they are reliable and I recommend them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plane?

I don't find any negative points or at least in my little experience I haven't had them. If I really have to say one, maybe the chat support is slightly slower than the email one, as the latter is definitely efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plane solving and how is that benefiting you?

Manage payment receipts from multiple companies in one place, as well as benefit companies to provide plane.com with the task of managing payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Digital documents are always available online.They're prompt with delivering tax documents, salary payments and I haven't had any issues.

Whenever I have contacted support, their chat support was great and if I needed something custom, the person I chatted with would own the solution and ensure it's delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plane?

I've been on both ends of Plane (sender and receiver) and i've liked it a lot.

As a sender, i can easily have team members listed, signed up with their bank deets without much hassle, and sending payroll seems like a breeze.

As a reciver of money, it's super straightforward. I get a notficaiton when my money has been sent and when i can get it by - and there's zero charges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plane?

The only thing i don't like is that it takes a while to get your money rather than same day or the next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Plane?

Twice a month, I received my salary through Plane, and overall, my experience was positive. The platform is intuitive, and their customer service team is both responsive and helpful.

I would recommend Plane, but with the hope that they optimize their payment speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Plane?

Payments were processed smoothly, but the wait time from the confirmation email to the actual deposit felt longer than expected.

On one occasion, I encountered an issue, and while their support team was helpful, the time it took to resend the payment was quite lengthy. If Plane could streamline their processing times, their service would be even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Plane solving and how is that benefiting you?

Plane is solving the challenge of receiving international payments efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
