# Kontrable > Kontrable is a contractor management platform that helps businesses hire and pay independent contractors directly without expensive EOR (Employer of Record) platforms. Pay contractors via Wise, PayPal, or Payoneer for $99/month (up to 25 contractors) instead of $49-$500 per contractor per month with Deel or Remote.com. ## Product Overview Kontrable provides contractor database management, project tracking, compliance tools, contract generation, and payment history—without the $500/month price tag or money flowing through a middleman. Your contractors, your payments, your control. ## Key Features - **Contractor Database**: Centralized database to manage all your independent contractors in one place - **Project Tracking**: Track projects, milestones, and deliverables across your contractor workforce - **Contract Management**: Generate, edit, and store contractor agreements with built-in templates - **Payment History**: Complete payment tracking and history for all contractor payments - **Compliance Tools**: Built-in compliance checks and documentation for contractor relationships - **Direct Payments**: Pay contractors directly via their existing Wise, PayPal, or Payoneer accounts - **Multi-Currency Support**: Handle international contractors with multi-currency payment support - **Invoice Management**: Track and manage contractor invoices with approval workflows ## Problem We Solve Traditional EOR platforms like Deel and Remote.com charge $49-$500 per contractor per month, plus transfer fees. These platforms make sense for employees requiring local entity presence, but for independent contractors who already have their own payment accounts (Wise, PayPal, Payoneer), you're paying for infrastructure you don't need. Every month with these platforms feels like paying for a luxury you didn't need. Wise, PayPal, and Payoneer handle payments beautifully. DocuSign handles contracts. Spreadsheets track... well, they try. But there was no single system to organize, manage, and operate a freelancer-focused business without a middleman taking a cut. ## Pricing - **Kontrable**: $99/month for up to 25 contractors - **Deel**: $49/contractor/month (basic) to $325/contractor/month (Contractor of Record) - **Remote.com**: $29/contractor/month (basic) to $325/contractor/month (Contractor of Record) For a team of 10 contractors: - Kontrable: $99/month - Deel: $490-$3,250/month - Remote.com: $290-$3,250/month ## Target Audience Kontrable is built for: - Freelancer-focused businesses and agencies - Startups working with independent contractors globally - Companies that don't need full EOR services - Businesses tired of paying per-contractor fees - Teams managing 5-25 contractors regularly ## Use Cases 1. **Digital Agencies**: Manage a roster of freelance designers, developers, and writers 2. **Startups**: Work with international contractors without expensive EOR platforms 3. **Content Companies**: Coordinate freelance writers, editors, and content creators 4. **Development Teams**: Track projects and payments for contract developers 5. **Marketing Teams**: Manage freelance marketers, designers, and consultants ## Why We Built This We were spending thousands per year on Deel and Remote.com to manage contractors who already had their own payment accounts. Every month felt like paying for a luxury we didn't need. Wise, PayPal, and Payoneer handle payments beautifully. DocuSign handles contracts. Spreadsheets track... well, they try. But there was no single system to organize, manage, and operate a freelancer-focused business without a middleman taking a cut. So we built Kontrable. A tool that gives you the structure of an EOR platform—contractor database, project tracking, compliance tools, payment history—without the $500/month price tag or the money flowing through someone else first. ## Alternatives Comparison ### vs Deel - Deel charges $49/contractor/month minimum, up to $325/month for Contractor of Record - Kontrable charges flat $99/month for up to 25 contractors - Deel acts as payment intermediary; Kontrable enables direct payments - Best for: Companies with independent contractors who have their own payment accounts ### vs Remote.com - Remote.com charges $29-$99/contractor/month, up to $325/month for Contractor of Record - Kontrable charges flat $99/month for up to 25 contractors - Remote.com provides EOR services; Kontrable focuses on contractor management - Best for: Businesses that don't need full employment services ## Technology Stack - Built with Next.js and React for modern web performance - Secure contractor data management - Integration-ready with Wise, PayPal, and Payoneer - Cloud-based for access anywhere ## Getting Started 1.
