Quick answer
Cyberbacker is a managed service. Its pricing page lists $1,000 to $1,800 a month part-time and $1,500 to $3,500 a month full-time, with the exact rate confirmed on a consultation call, and it does not publish contract, renewal or cancellation terms. A Team Overseas places a Philippines-based executive, operations or marketing assistant on your own payroll. You pay a $500/month membership plus the assistant directly ($1,200–2,000/month for full-time engagements), and our terms are published on this site.

Switching from Cyberbacker
If what you have is working, stay. If you are partway through a term, or your assistant has just left, this is how a move works.
- 1
Find your date.
Cyberbacker does not publish its terms, so ask for your renewal date and cancellation terms in writing.
- 2
Read what your agreement says about your current assistant.
Many providers bar hiring their assistants directly or charge a fee for it (see Terms above). We introduce new candidates. We do not approach or place an assistant who is working for you through another provider.
- 3
Meet candidates before you give notice.
A shortlist of 2–4 candidates (resume, rate, fit notes, intro video), usually in the first week, with a 1–2 week match target. You decide with real people in front of you, and nothing changes with Cyberbacker until you say so.
- 4
Set the start for when your current term ends.
Plan a short overlap for handoff if your agreement allows it. The first month with us is a paid trial, with no early-exit fee if you leave at the end of it. From month two it is an annual membership (terms in the FAQ below).
- 5
Get help through the first 90 days.
Check-ins weekly in month one, then every two weeks or monthly through day 90, then as needed.
You can also keep the assistant you have and hire your next one through us.
Choose Cyberbacker if
- You want a managed service with one monthly cost and no payroll to run.
- You want a part-time plan of up to 20 hours a week.
- You work in real estate, where Cyberbacker is widely used.
Choose A Team Overseas if
- You want the assistant on your own payroll, paid directly at a rate you agree before placement.
- You want a more senior assistant. We specialize in more senior talent: mid-level assistants who are resourceful, proactive, reliable and AI-enabled.
- You have a repeatable set of work today and want the same person to grow into owning more of an operational lane, with you setting direction.
- You want someone to own AI and systems inside that lane: rolling out tools, automating recurring steps and helping your team use them.
- You'd like help making the relationship work: what to hand over, how to communicate and how to start. That's common for a first remote hire, or after a past hire or agency didn't work out.
- You'll direct the assistant and give feedback, and you want us coaching both of you through the first 90 days.
A Team Overseas is not a fit if you want
- A part-time "right hand" expected to own strategy across marketing, operations and personal tasks all at once
- A director or manager for a function you haven't defined yet
- Finished deliverables from us without directing anyone (a done-for-you service)
- Agency-provided screen monitoring of an assistant
- A budget below the membership plus the assistant’s pay
