EasyStaff

A contractor-payouts and freelancer-invoicing specialist: businesses sign one B2B contract and pay teams/freelancers worldwide, while freelancers invoice clients and withdraw via cards, bank, PayPal, Skrill or crypto. Strong on payout breadth and published per-transaction fees, weak on formal compliance disclosure and not an Employer/Contractor of Record.

A dash means the vendor does not publish a price for that product, not that it has none. The last rows are plans only one of the two sells.
