What counts as a Monthly Active Payee (MAP)
With per active worker pricing, a worker is a MAP in any month that they have one of these events. Each worker counts one time per month, even with many events.
Counts as a MAP
- A tax or identity check
- A background check
- An insurance or other document check
- A completed e-signature
- A 1099 filing
- A payment
Does not add a MAP
- An invite that the worker never acts on
- A first payment within two months of onboarding
- A 1099 for a worker that you already paid that year
A worker completes a tax check and gets paid three times in March. That worker is one MAP for March.

FAQs
How much does Wingspan cost?
You can pay per active worker or per transaction. Per active worker pricing starts at $10 per Monthly Active Payee (MAP) each month, with volume discounts. Per transaction pricing depends on how many payments you send. Every plan works with both. Plans start at a $1,000 monthly minimum, and your usage counts toward it. Seasonal, part-time, and temporary W-2 employees cost $20 per employee each month.
Which way to pay is right for me?
Per active worker pricing is a good fit if you pay workers often or have many onboarding steps for each worker. Each worker counts one time per month, so your cost stays flat. Per transaction pricing is a good fit if your team already budgets per payment, like with a payment processor. We can quote both for you.
What counts as a Monthly Active Payee (MAP)?
A MAP is a worker with at least one billable event in a month. Billable events are tax or identity checks, background checks, insurance or other document checks, completed e-signatures, 1099 filings, and payments. Each worker counts one time per month, even with many events.
We onboard many workers, but only some of them get work each month. Do you charge for everyone we onboard?
No. With per active worker pricing, we only charge for Monthly Active Payees (MAPs). A worker who gets an invite but never starts onboarding does not count. A first payment within two months of onboarding does not add another MAP. With per transaction pricing, you pay for the payouts and services you use.
How often can I pay workers?
You can pay daily, weekly, or twice a month. With per active worker pricing, more payments do not cost more, because each worker counts one time per month. With per transaction pricing, you pay for each payout.
Does filing a 1099 cost extra?
Not with per active worker pricing. If you paid a worker on Wingspan during the tax year, their 1099 filing is included in the MAP fee. It does not add another MAP. With per transaction pricing, 1099 filings are part of your quote.
How do you price international contractors and W-2 employees?
International contractors use the same way to pay that you choose for US contractors. Seasonal, part-time, and temporary W-2 employees cost $20 per employee each month.
Can I keep my own background check provider?
Yes. Wingspan works with the tools you already use, including your background check provider.
