   We needed a way to manage contractor payments and documentation without drowning in compliance questions every month.

   Our team is spread across eight countries, and the old process took too much time. Now contractors self-onboard, KYC runs automatically, invoices generate themselves, and payouts move much faster than before. That alone removed a lot of back and forth.

   Pricing is fair and usage-based, which also helps when team volume changes. The interface took one cycle to learn, but daily use is smooth now.

   A strong fit for contractor-focused startups and great Deel alternative

   Onboarding was straightforward, the legal setup was much easier to manage than our previous process, and payouts have been consistently on time for us. It does a focused job, but it does that job very well.

   👍 Pros:    If you mainly hire independent contractors and do not need a large hr suite built around full-time employee benefits, 4dev can be a much better fit. for our contractor-only setup, the billing model was simple: a transaction-based fee, with no subscription costs for empty seats. the invoice generation and exports were also structured well enough to save our finance team a lot of time during our last audit review.

   👎 Cons:    It does not offer full-scale eor features for permanent local employees. if you need to manage local health insurance, pensions, or similar employee-benefit workflows, this probably is not the right tool.

   Switched mid-audit and did not regret it

   I spent most of those 48h reformatting spreadsheets and writing an explanatory email about why three different payment methods showed up in the same period.

   We moved to 4dev two months after that. When the same investor came back with a follow-up data request eight months later, I exported everything in about twelve minutes. No explanatory emails attached. Same documentation standard across all contractors, all countries, and the whole period.

   Overall: It solved the exact problem we had. Honestly, we should have moved sooner.

   👍 Pros:    Our series a investor once asked for a full payroll export covering 6 months - with just 48h notice. at that point, we were running a mix of wire transfers, wise, and one contractor was getting paid via paypal because his bank situation was complicated. not ideal, right?

   👎 Cons:    If you have a multi-level approval workflow, the role settings may feel a bit limiting. we adjusted our internal process around it — it works, just not as elegantly as i’d like.

• How do I hire and pay EU developers?

  Some options include payment through a system like remote.com, direct payment of the whole gross salary to employee's private account (employee would pay their personal tax - not sure if possible in all countries) or the employee can register a company (usually he/she would be the only employee) and you would do a B2B payment of the gross salary to their business account.

• Has anyone successfully had a visa approved via Remote.com in Spain (probably via highly skilled worker visa)

  I'm currently exploring visa options to live and work in Spain. One option I have is via a new job, the company in question has no legal entity in Spain and instead uses Remote.com but my lawyer has some reservations about this kind of umbrella arrangement being accepted by immigration.

• Problem with Thailand EoRs for Devs? How did you resolve it ?

  Is this the rule or are there EORs that work with flat fees in Thailand? An example of that would be something like remote.com where you pay around 600 USD per month for their services. Source: about 3 years ago

• How hard it is to get an IT job in a foreign country?

  It's essentially more like running a business and less like being an employee. Unless you're hired as an employee through something like remote.com, then you do have a safety net and they have to comply with various stuff. Source: about 3 years ago
