How it works

From here to working, in two days.

  1. DAY 0

    Register and create a free account in our portal

    Two minutes, no card. Business email, the work you want covered, the hours you keep.

  2. DAY 0

    Start creating tasks, or set up a kickoff call

    Assign work straight away — or take twenty minutes with us first to scope it and write down what good looks like.

  3. DAY 1

    Your assistant starts

    Within 24 hours. You meet your assistant, your supervisor, and your backup too.

  4. DAYS 1–7

    Watch the work happen

    Every task, comment and logged hour in your own project workspace. Nothing to chase.

  5. DAY 8

    You decide

    Keep going, or walk away having paid nothing. We review on day 7 either way.

What you can hire

Three roles. Pick one, or all three.

Every plan includes a trained backup, a supervising team lead, and four hours of overlap with your working day.

Pricing and terms last reviewed 27 September 2026

Premium virtual assistant agencies charge $1,999 – $2,999 a month for a full-time assistant. That is $12.50 – $18.75 an hour for the same eight-hour day.

Your workspace

You can watch the work happen.

Not a Slack channel, and not a weekly summary email. Every client gets a project workspace of their own at app.staffperhour.com. You assign the task, your assistant works it, and every comment, file and logged hour stays in one place you can open at any time.

A project workspace showing task lists, assignees, due dates, labels and progress

Assign in one line

Type the task, set a date. No brief template to fill in and no ticket system to learn.

Answers on the task

Your assistant replies where the work is, not in a thread buried in your inbox.

Hours logged against the work

See exactly where the eight hours went, task by task, without asking anyone.

Your SOPs live here

How your work gets done is written down in your workspace — and it stays yours.

Why clients choose us

You never hire, never manage, never re-train.

A trained backup from day one

Sick days, resignations, festivals. Someone who already knows your account picks it up. Your work does not stop.

Quality is our job

A team lead reviews the output against the standard we agree with you up front. You are not the quality control.

No hiring, no payroll

No CVs, no interviews, no equipment, no HR, no notice periods. We carry all of it.

Free replacement, no ramp-up bill

If it is not working we swap. The new person is brought up to speed on our time, because the SOPs live with us.

No lock-in, ever

Monthly, cancel any time with 15 days’ notice. An email is enough. We keep the account by being worth keeping.

Four hours of guaranteed overlap

Your assistant is online while you are. Choose US Eastern, US Pacific, UK or Australia at signup.

In-house, salaried, one office

Not a freelancer marketplace. Everyone works from our Gondia office, on our payroll, under our supervision.

A free first week

Up to 20 hours of real work on your real tasks before you pay anything. No card to start.

Inside our Gondia office

300 people. One office. All of them ours.

StaffPerHour is run by StaffCloud Services, a 22-year-old firm in Gondia, Maharashtra. We are not a marketplace putting you in touch with a stranger — everyone who works on your account sits in our building, on our payroll.

Operating from a tier-2 city rather than a metro is why our prices look the way they do. Lower rent and lower overhead, not lower pay and not lower standards.

You do not choose your Uber driver either — because the platform guarantees the ride. Same principle, applied to work.

Working hours

Your assistant is online when you are.

Pick US Eastern, US Pacific, UK or Australia when you sign up and we shift the roster, not your calendar. Four hours of overlap with your working day, guaranteed, every day.

What we don’t do

Anything needing a professional licence in your country — tax filing, legal advice. Cold calling. Work that requires someone physically present where you are. Anything that breaks a platform’s terms of service. If you need one of those, we will tell you before you start, not after you have paid.

Proof

Seven years is a long trial period.

Brand protection platform · United States · Client since 2019

Our longest-running account is a brand protection and MAP enforcement platform. Same team, same office, seven years running.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Who picks my assistant, and what if I don't like them?

We do. You tell us what the work is when you register — or on a kickoff call, if you want one — and we assign someone from our team who already does that work — plus a trained backup. If they are not right, tell us and we replace them free, and we do not bill you for the new person's ramp-up. You do not choose your Uber driver either; you rely on the platform to guarantee the ride. Same idea, applied to work.

What happens if my assistant is sick, on leave, or resigns?

Your named backup takes over. They already have access to your workspace and your SOPs, because both live with us rather than in one person's head. This is the main reason we run in-house salaried staff instead of a freelancer pool.

What's actually included in the free week?

Up to 20 hours of real work on your real tasks over seven days, starting the day your assistant is assigned. No credit card, no obligation, and nothing is charged unless you tell us to continue.

What happens on day 8?

We hold a short review call on day 7. If you want to keep going, you get a payment link and your first month is charged in advance. If not, we close the workspace and you have paid nothing. No pressure, no retention call.

Is there a contract? How do I cancel?

No lock-in. Monthly, cancel any time with 15 days' notice. An email is enough.

Why are you cheaper than the big VA agencies?

Because we operate from a tier-2 city rather than a metro, and we have been running this operation for 22 years. Lower rent and lower overhead — not lower pay, and not lower standards.

Try it for a week. Pay nothing.

Up to 20 hours of real work, no credit card, cancel any time.

Your assistant starts within 24 hours.
