VERDICT

Should I use Time etc?

Virtual assistants for hire, matched to your business (US/UK) - timeetc.com

Depends. Buy if you're a founder or executive who wants a vetted, matched US/UK assistant on monthly hours. Skip if you want the cheapest offshore rates, published self-serve pricing, or multi-VA teams.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources: Trustpilot, Indeed, App Store, official pages, and 2026 pricing comparisons.

Best for

  • Solo founders buried in admin

  • Guess: Big ops needing VA pods or 24/7 coverage
