Lano Contractor Management vs Native Teams

Lano Contractor Management is a web-based workforce platform for companies hiring and managing international contractors. Its standard offer includes a talent pool, applicant tracking, task management, compliance, invoice management, and global payments. Lano states that it supports contractor operations in more than 170 countries and 28 currencies, with localized contracts intended to help companies address local laws. Contractors receive a free invoicing tool and a digital wallet for multi-currency payments; Lano says contractors use the platform at no charge and corporate clients pay the fees. Three compliance sendings and three invoices are available free before Control and Intelligence modules require an upgrade. Integrations include accounting, HR, signing, and other tools, but access requires booking the Intelligence module. Lano API access is in closed beta for selected customers. Lano states it has SOC 2 Type II certification and is GDPR compliant, with AES-256 encrypted S3 storage and TLS 1.2 encryption in transit and at rest. Contractor Management costs €19 per month, with volume discounts available.

Native Teams is a work and payments platform for hiring, paying, and managing international workers. It operates through its own legal entities in 95+ countries, and its Employer of Record service lets companies employ teams through those entities without establishing a local one themselves. The platform brings together global payroll, contractor and gig payments, a multi-currency wallet, cards, and expense management. Driver payroll includes bulk CSV uploads, real-time tracking, API integrations, early wage access, and contract e-signatures. Contractor features include onboarding, agreement management, tax document support, and compliance management; the Contractor plan also lists third-party integrations. Native Teams offers Android, iOS, and web access. Its mobile app requires Android 8.0 or higher or iOS 16.0 or higher, and some newer Huawei devices without Google Play services may not support it. Plans include Contractor Pay at €19 a month per employee, Remoter at €79 a month, Employer of Record and Contractor of Record at €99 a month, and Entity Management at €149 a month. Gig Pay has custom pricing. There is no free plan; listed pricing starts from $19/mo.
