TaskBullet’s Flexible Hour Virtual Assistant Model: Same dedicated VA for most work, with specialist routing available when needed — all from your existing bucket of hours. Buckets with 90-day rollover. No contracts.
The verdict: TaskBullet wins on flexibility, protection, and skill coverage for businesses with variable workloads.

Outsourced Doers charges a fixed monthly retainer. Whether you send 10 tasks that month or 80, the bill is the same. Slow quarter? Vacation? Busy period that suddenly stops? You still pay the full retainer — and those unused hours are gone at the end of the month.
Over 12 months, retainer waste adds up fast. TaskBullet's 90-day rollover and 60-day unused-hour guarantee eliminate this entirely — your investment is protected no matter how your workload fluctuates.
TaskBullet's competitive rates aren't built on cutting VA welfare:
Outsourced Doers' fixed retainer expires unused hours monthly. TaskBullet carries unused hours forward for 90 days — and the 60-day unused-hour guarantee adds further protection. Over a year, this is the single biggest structural cost advantage in the VA category. See rollover math →
Outsourced Doers charges monthly regardless of your workload. TaskBullet uses prepaid Buckets of Hours — no recurring fees, no billing surprises, no idle retainer charges during slow periods.
Outsourced Doers assigns one dedicated VA. Tasks outside their skill set require separate hiring. TaskBullet routes specialist tasks automatically — admin, design, WordPress, social media, lead generation — all from the same Bucket of Hours.
TaskBullet includes a US-based account manager who reviews all work, routes tasks by skill, and handles VA transitions — included in every plan. Day-to-day quality assurance is not left between you and your VA.
Both Outsourced Doers and TaskBullet offer Philippines-based VAs, but TaskBullet also offers US-based VAs under the same model. Choose PH for cost-effective admin and operational tasks, US for work requiring domestic context — both from the same Flexible Hour Virtual Assistant Model. See full pricing →
