Managed assistant service vs a freelance marketplace.
How a managed assistant service compares with hiring a freelancer through an online marketplace: vetting, dedication, quality control, continuity and cost structure.
| Factor | A freelance marketplace | ExecWing (Managed assistant service) |
|---|---|---|
| Vetting | You review profiles and test candidates yourself. | Multi-stage vetting before you meet anyone. See how we vet. |
| Dedication | Freelancers often split time across several clients. | One dedicated, full-time assistant per plan. |
| Quality control | Up to you. | Weekly QA scorecard and a named account lead. |
| Continuity | If a freelancer leaves, you start over. | We coach first and replace on request per your agreement. |
| Pricing | Hourly or fixed bids plus platform fees; varies by freelancer. | One published monthly fee, month-to-month. |
| Flexibility | Great for one-off or part-time tasks. | Built for ongoing, full-time work. |
