Grade

Grade is a platform that manages performance-based payouts, invoices, and global payments for freelancers and contractors. In practice that means paying people correctly and filing the taxes that come with it.

It makes the most sense for companies with employees in one or more states. They also list Bookkeeping and Payroll and FinTech, so expect those to show up in the feature set.

Grade is based in San Francisco, California and founded in 2025. Their site is usegrade.com.

Things worth asking about: state coverage, contractor payments, and benefits integration. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
