Malt
May suit you if you are looking for finding missions on a marketplace while relying on an umbrella company for employee status.
Weepo
May suit you if you want clear fees at 3%, a 100% salary advance, a dedicated adviser and employee benefits (Swile, Navigo, CSE) in a fully online experience.
In every case your situation comes first: a high day rate, long missions or an immediate cash-flow need do not lead to the same choice.
Yes. According to Malt's help centre, the freelancer links their umbrella company in their settings and payments go to that company, which pays out the net salary. Check that your umbrella company is listed on Malt.
No. Malt connects freelancers and clients; an umbrella company employs you, issues your payslip and handles contributions. The two can be combined.
Two layers: Malt's commission, per its official schedule, and the umbrella company's management fees (3% at Weepo). Simulate your net pay with both.
Check directly in your Malt settings whether Weepo can be selected, or ask the Weepo team how to proceed for your missions.
Use the same day rate and number of days in each simulator, including Malt's commission, then compare the estimated net salary.
