Salary.cab review

Salary.cab is a contractor-payout service with one price: a commission "from 2%" of each payout, which its site calls the only fee. You prepay a balance, create payment tasks, and contractors are paid to a bank account or a USDT wallet. Contracts, invoices and acts are generated for you. The site names no legal entity, no country list and no certifications, and it lists no EOR or COR service.

Verdict

Best for

  • Buyers who want one percentage fee and generated contracts, invoices and acts for each payout
  • Teams whose contractors accept a USDT wallet or a bank account

Not for

  • Companies that need a legal employer for staff abroad
  • Teams that need employee payroll; the site describes contractor payouts only
  • Buyers who need a named contracting entity, published certifications or a country list before they sign
Stands out
One stated fee, "from 2%" of the payout, with no charge for topping up the balance or changing currency, plus generated contracts, invoices and acts and a USDT payout option.
Biggest limit
The site names no company behind the service: the contract is with an unnamed "foreign company" and is sent by support, so no entity, country list or certification can be checked.

Pricing

Salary.cab: pricing by service
ServiceSetup feeNotes
Contractor payouts—The site gives a commission "from 2%" of each payout and calls it the only fee, with nothing charged for topping up or changing currency. Larger monthly volumes get better terms, which are not published. Payouts draw on a balance you fund beforehand by invoice or in USDT.[1]
Contractor management—The same per-payout commission applies. The platform produces the contracts, invoices and acts, signing with contractors itself.[1]

Support
Telegram (@salary_cab), email (sales@salary.cab)The site says support is available daily from 09:00 to 18:00 UTC+3 by Telegram and email, so it is not round the clock. It does not say who answers outside those hours

Who it fits

Hiring patterns
  • Mostly contractors
Segments it names
  • Companies paying Russian-speaking freelancers and developers from abroad (the home page's own description); no headcount or industry is stated.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Its site states one fee, "from 2%" of each payout, and says there are no fees for balance top-up, currency change or other hidden fees
  • Contracts, invoices and acts are generated automatically; the client signs with Salary.cab and Salary.cab signs with the contractors
  • Contractors can be paid to a bank account or a USDT wallet, and a USDT (TRC20) top-up is credited within 5 minutes
  • The site offers better terms for companies with large monthly payments
  • Payments are processed in up to 48 hours on business days, usually 1 to 2 hours, by the site's own statement
  • Support is on Telegram and email daily from 09:00 to 18:00 UTC+3

Cons

  • No legal entity is named on the site, in the User Agreement or in the Privacy Policy
  • The payout contract is not public: the User Agreement covers use of the platform account only and sets no fees, payout terms or named entity, and the service contract comes from support
  • No certifications or security attestations are published
  • No country list is published, so coverage cannot be checked
  • The site does not name payout currencies; it names USD and EUR by Wire/SEPA only for balance top-up
  • No API or integrations are mentioned, and the site does not say who answers outside support hours
  • The site states no setup fee, deposit or termination terms, and the rate beyond "from 2%" is not published

AI summary

Written by an AI model from the data on our pages on 16 Oct 2026. Not a recommendation, not our score, and not a quote from any assistant.

  • What does the data show about Salary.cab as contractor payouts?

    AI

    Salary.cab states a commission "from 2%" of each payout as its only fee, with no charge for balance top-up or currency change. Contractors are paid to a bank account or a USDT wallet, and contracts, invoices and acts are generated automatically. Its site says processing takes up to 48 hours, usually 1 to 2 hours.

    What the data does not show

    The rate beyond "from 2%" is not published. The site names no company, country list or certifications, and it says nothing about an API.

  • What are Salary.cab's main drawbacks?

    AI

    Little is disclosed: no legal entity is named, the contract is with an unnamed foreign company and comes from support, and no certifications or country list are published. The site names USD and EUR only for balance top-up, not for payouts. It lists no EOR, COR or payroll service.

    What the data does not show

    The data holds no customer reviews, so it does not show how payouts perform in practice.

  • Who should choose Salary.cab?

    AI

    It suits buyers who want one percentage fee, generated paperwork and a USDT or bank payout. Buyers who need a named contracting entity or a country list should look elsewhere first.

    What the data does not show

    The site states no headcount or industry, so the data does not map it to company sizes.
