If you are a 5-person startup...
For a team of five, expect to pay roughly $145/mo on the Contractor Management plan. That is reasonable for a startup budget.
If you are a 50+ person company...
You will likely need the Employer of Record plan or above. At this scale, check the equity management and ip & invention rights capabilities — they matter more as teams grow.
