Wingspan vs. Melio

The best Melio alternative for 1099 onboarding, payments & support

Melio is a simple Accounts Receivable platform that helps small businesses get started with digital payments. If you are hiring contractors, and want to streamline your contractor onboarding, payments and compliance, Wingspan could be a better fit.

  • Wingspan, unlike Melio, increases your contractor retention by providing them a full-suite of tools to manage their business.
  • Wingspan streamlines onboarding of 1099 workers and includes TIN verification and background checks. Melio does not.
  • Wingspan fully takes over the entire process during tax season, ensuring accurate, timely 1099 filing with the IRS and delivery to your workers. Melio does not.
  • Wingspan gives your contractors access to options for health and financial benefits. Melio does not.
