Case Study: Draft.dev speeds up global payments and builds team trust with Plane

Draft.dev saves hours each month on global payments with Plane

Draft.dev, a content marketing agency with a fully remote team of over 300 contractors in 59 countries, faced significant challenges with its global payment processes. Using PayPal and bank transfers was time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive, costing up to four hours per week and high fees per contractor. Founder Karl Hughes needed a user-friendly and affordable payroll solution that could reliably pay contractors anywhere in the world without restricting his hiring options.

By implementing Plane’s payroll and contractor management platform, Draft.dev automated its payments and onboarding. Plane saved the company hours each month, reduced payment fees, and provided a professional, transparent experience that built trust with its global team. The solution’s ability to pay in over 240 countries and its Employer of Record service further supported Draft.dev's growth and recent acquisition, allowing them to hire the best talent globally without geographical restrictions.
