Vendor claim: 'Kick off work in minutes, not hours' — no guaranteed SLA
A contractor platform that acts as Contractor of Record: 4dev contracts with each contractor and the client contracts with 4dev, which reduces reclassification risk without removing it. It onboards contractors with automatic KYC, keeps IP assignment and closing documents in one flow, and pays out by bank transfer, card or USDT across 150+ countries on a published fee of 3% or less.
A large, mature cross-border payments network: pay contractors and run mass payouts to payees in 190+ countries and territories across 70 currencies, to a Payoneer account, local bank account or eWallet, via API or CSV — with PCI DSS Level 1, SOC 1/SOC 2 Type II compliance. Strong as a contractor-payouts and mass-payout platform; it is not an Employer of Record under its own payments brand.
