Time Etc is the best budget option if you specifically want a US-based assistant. Starting at $390 per month for 10 hours, it is the lowest financial commitment on this list for domestic support.
Their assistants are experienced (average 12 years) and work as independent contractors. The pricing is remarkably competitive for US-based talent. The catch is that you are buying hours in blocks, and unused hours do not roll over.
Time Etc is ideal for founders who need 10-20 hours per month of support and do not want to deal with offshore time zones. It is not a full-time EA solution, and it is not trying to be.
