Which profile each option may suit

OpenWork

May suit you if you are looking for a single, simple formula with a fixed payment date.

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.

How to choose with confidence

  1. Simulate your salary with the portage salarial simulator using your day rate and billed days.
  2. Ask each company for the same simulation, using the same assumptions.
  3. Compare net pay, payment timing and included services, not just the rate. Our umbrella company comparison lists the criteria.
  4. Check the financial guarantee and the management fees set out in the contract.
