Lano is a Berlin-based global employment platform founded in 2018 that combines employer of record services, multi-country payroll consolidation, and contractor management into a single dashboard. The platform supports hiring in over 170 countries and handles locally compliant contracts, tax filings, benefits administration, and multi-currency payments in 28 currencies. It also provides an API for integrating payroll and workforce data into internal systems.
The platform works well for companies that need to consolidate payroll across multiple countries without setting up local entities. Its contractor management tier at 19 euros per month is competitively priced, and the payroll consolidation feature gives finance teams a centralized view of global workforce costs. Onboarding is generally quick, and the dedicated account manager model means support tends to be personalized.
That said, Lano is still a relatively young company with a smaller review footprint than competitors like Deel or Remote. Some users have reported inconsistent customer support responses, invoicing errors, and a platform interface that feels split between old and new designs. The EOR pricing at 499 euros per employee per month sits in the mid-range, but the lack of a free trial means you have to commit before testing the full experience. Companies with fewer than 5 international hires may find the per-employee cost hard to justify.
- European and international SMBs expanding into multiple countries who need payroll consolidation alongside EOR services, particularly those managing mixed teams of employees and contractors.
- Small teams with fewer than 5 international hires where per-employee EOR costs are hard to justify. Companies needing deep US-only payroll features. Organizations requiring a mature mobile app or advanced HRIS capabilities like performance management and ATS.
- Responsive customer support with dedicated account managers and fast onboarding across countries.
- Strong payroll consolidation that gives a single-screen view of multi-country payroll data with competitive FX rates.
- Flexible service tiers allowing companies to mix EOR, contractor management, and payroll consolidation as needed.
- Platform interface feels split between old and new designs, with important features sometimes hidden or hard to find.
- Invoicing errors reported by multiple users, along with inconsistent answers from support on complex queries.
