VERDICT

Should I use Cherry Assistant?

Hire talented remote workers from South Africa and the Philippines and save up to 80% compared to hiring a US equivalent. No lock-in contracts and no hidden fees. - cherryassistant.com

Depends. Independent feedback is thin, so confidence is low. Reasonable for SMB founders and small teams wanting managed offshore admin or support staff; skip it if you need published pricing or a proven review track record.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~30 public sources; independent review depth is minimal.

Gotchas - check before you buy

  • Published case studies with named client companies

Cons

  • 'Up to 80% savings' is a marketing claim, unverified in sources
  • No rates visible in sources reviewed; purchase requires a sales quote

What users say

user feedback is scarce: a Reddit thread asks for experiences with few answers, and Trustpilot and Glassdoor hold a handful of reviews.

Offshore VA staffing agency, not software. Savings claims look big but public reviews are very thin — get quotes and references.
