5 BELAY alternatives: compare the model before the price.

BELAY describes U.S.-based assistants and ongoing support. Before switching, ask your current provider whether a scope, schedule, or matching adjustment would solve the problem. If you compare alternatives, send each one the same role brief.

1. Staffify

For a dedicated remote role in the Philippines or Latin America. Compare the full-time schedule and standard onboarding cost with the hours you need. Staffify pricing and terms.

2. Magic

For a dedicated assistant with coaching and a 24/7 support product; request current pricing and coverage details. Magic official information.

3. Wing

For a managed general-assistant plan with a published monthly price; verify the scope for specialist work. Wing official information.

4. Boldly

For experienced assistance based in North America or Europe; compare monthly hours and candidate fit. Boldly official information.

5. Time Etc

Budget for the complete arrangement

Staffify’s published base rates are $11.25–$14 per hour, with a small one-time onboarding investment. At $12.50/hour and 40 hours/week, using 52 weeks ÷ 12 months, ongoing cost is about $2,167/month. Actual hours, role, payment options, and any volume terms belong in your quote.

A small hours plan can cost less overall than a full-time placement even when its hourly rate is higher. Include onboarding, expected additional hours, required software, handoff time, and cancellation terms in your comparison. Do not assume that “dedicated” means the same weekly availability on every plan.

Plan the handoff

Document recurring tasks and deadlines, name an owner for questions, and agree on the first week’s deliverables. Confirm approved access to your tools and how access will be removed when an arrangement ends. Candidate location alone does not settle security or procurement requirements.
