Staffify vs Time Etc: cost, hours, and fit.
The key distinction is a small monthly hours plan versus a full-time weekly schedule. If you only need a few hours of help, buying more capacity can cost more overall even when the hourly rate is lower.

Which arrangement fits your workload?
At 10 hours per month, the published $390 plan is below Staffify’s full-time example. At 60 hours, the monthly plan price is close to that example, but the location, working schedule, onboarding fee, and scope differ. Twenty hours per week averages about 87 hours per calendar month, so do not compare it with an 80-hour or 60-hour plan as if the hours were equal.
Write down the recurring tasks, expected weekly hours, required availability, and who approves the work. Ask each provider to price that same brief. Check what happens when the workload increases, the assistant is away, or the match needs to change. A lower rate is useful only if the available hours and proposed skills cover the job.
What we would scope with you
We start with the work you want to hand off, your tools, and what a good result looks like. That can mean executive support, customer service, video editing, or sales support. We then define the role, candidate assessment, handoff, and ongoing support. If you are still deciding what to delegate, use our delegation guide before comparing quotes.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Time Etc cost?
Published monthly plans are $390 for 10 hours, $760 for 20, $1,480 for 40, and $2,160 for 60. Confirm current terms and larger plans directly.
Does dedicated mean exclusive full-time availability?
A dedicated assistant provides continuity, but a monthly hours allocation is not the same as an exclusive full-time schedule. Confirm availability with the provider.
When is a smaller plan a better fit?
When the hours and coverage you actually need fit within it. Lower hourly cost is not automatically lower monthly spending.
What does Staffify include?
