Playroll charges a hefty fee compared to other payment platforms. They can not provide tax guidance to remote contractors working with external companies.

I really didn't like the fact that I will be paid to my Playroll account, and then I need to transfer to my bank account because that's another 2-3 business days. This was very annoying.
