Which plan to pick	Start is enough if your team mainly vouches and ticks figures. Accelerate is where the AI agents come in, which is what most teams buying now want. Ask about seat minimums before you commit.	Most small businesses start with Contractors for overseas freelancers. Move a person to Employer of Record when they're full-time and long-term, or when local rules mean they should be an employee. Pay is month to month, so you can change as the team changes.
