How we write our comparison pages
Silkstaff sells one of the options on our comparison pages. This page explains how we keep them useful anyway: where the facts come from, when we checked them, and how to correct us.
Who writes them
The Silkstaff team. Drafts are written with the help of AI tools; every competitor fact is checked against the company's own page on the date shown, and a person at Silkstaff reviews each page before it goes live.
Where the facts come from
- Competitor prices and terms: only from the company's own public website: pricing pages, home pages, FAQs and press releases. Each fact links to the page it comes from.
- No third-party estimates. If a company does not publish a price, we write "not published" and suggest you ask them. We do not repeat prices from forums, reviews or other agencies' blogs.
- Wages and costs: official statistics such as the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and national statistics offices for the countries where our candidates live.
- Our own numbers (fees, pay ranges, replacement terms) are the terms we offer clients, and the same as on our home page.
Dates
Every comparison page shows the date we last checked competitor facts: 30 Oct 2026 for the current pages. We re-check them every month and when a company tells us about a change. Prices change, so check the provider's own page before you decide.
Our conflict of interest
- Silkstaff is one of the options on these pages, and every page says so at the top.
- No company paid to be included or to be placed anywhere on a page, and these pages carry no affiliate links.
- We do not rank. In the comparison tables, options are grouped by model and listed alphabetically, and our own row says "our service". Cost tables list the page's subject first, then the other options from the lowest 12-month cost up.
- Every page has a section on when another option is the better choice, and we say plainly where a competitor costs less or offers longer terms than we do.
- We do not show star ratings or review scores, and we do not mark up our pages as reviews.
How we calculate costs
- 12 and 24 months for one full-time assistant: a monthly price × months, or a one-time fee + the person's monthly pay × months.
- Full-time means 160 hours a month. Hourly prices are multiplied by 160; "from" prices stay "from".
- For a direct hire through us we use $950 a month, inside our range of $800–1,100, and show the whole range next to it. A payment tool such as Deel is listed separately.
- We do not add costs a company does not publish, and we do not subtract the value of management, cover or coaching that a monthly service includes: we describe it instead.
