TaskBullet uses a bucket system instead of monthly subscriptions. You buy a bucket of hours upfront (20 hours for $210, 60 for $525, 130 for $980, or 200 for $1,450), use them at your own pace, and buy another bucket when you run out. Hours roll over for 90 days.
The per-hour rate ranges from $7.25 to $10.50 depending on the bucket size, making TaskBullet one of the cheapest options available. Assistants are based in the Philippines. There is also a 60-day money-back guarantee, which is unusually generous for this industry.
The bucket model works well for people with variable workloads. Some months you might use 30 hours, other months five. You are not paying for time you do not use, and the 90-day rollover gives you breathing room.
TaskBullet is not for someone who needs a polished, executive-level assistant. It is for someone who needs affordable, competent help with routine tasks and wants the flexibility to use it on their own schedule without a recurring subscription.
