Which plan to pickStart 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.Start on Free. It already covers cards, receipts, bill pay and accounting sync for most small teams. Take the 30-day Plus trial when you need approval chains, policy checks or NetSuite, and get the platform fee for your team size in writing first.
