FAQ

Questions founders ask us

How do startups pay international contractors?
In one run from your company balance. Add each contractor, send a compliant agreement, and they receive USD in an Ontop Global Account.
How much does Ontop cost for a startup?
Plans start at $49 per contractor per month. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Do I need a local entity to work with contractors abroad?
No. They work under a contractor agreement, so no entity in their country. Ontop is your contractor of record, not an employer of record.
How fast can we onboard our first contractors?
Setup is mostly sending agreements. Each person onboards in the Ontop app and joins your next payment run.
Can we hire in more than one country?
Yes. You can work with contractors in different countries and still pay all of them in a single run.
How do our contractors get paid?
Into an Ontop Global Account in USD, most in about 15 minutes. They can spend with the Ontop Visa card, send money or save.
