The Problem With Most VA Platforms

If you've spent any time on freelance platforms, you know the feeling. You land a client, do great work, and then watch a chunk of your earnings disappear in platform fees. Some platforms take 10%. Others take 20%. Delegatoo was built on a different premise: VAs deserve to keep what they earn, and clients deserve a straightforward way to find great help.

How Most VA Platforms Work and Why It Costs You

The standard model for freelance marketplaces is commission-based. The platform connects you with a client and then takes a percentage of every invoice you send. If you charge a client $1,500 per month and the platform takes 20%, you're actually earning $1,200. Over a year, that's $3,600 that went to the platform, not to you. Some platforms also lock you into their ecosystem. You don't own the client relationship. The platform does.

What Delegatoo Does Instead

Delegatoo charges clients a flat $9 per month subscription to access the VA registry and post job listings. That's it. Once a client finds a VA they want to work with, they hire that VA directly, off-platform.

• No commissions taken from your earnings, ever

• No platform sitting between you and your client

• No restrictions on how you invoice or get paid

• No contracts imposed by the platform on either side

• No escalating fees as your client relationship grows

You Own Your Client Relationships

When you build a client relationship through Delegatoo, that relationship is yours. You communicate directly, you invoice directly, you grow the relationship however works best for both of you. No platform can suspend your account and cut off your income overnight.

Pre-Reviewed Profiles Mean Clients Come to You Seriously

Delegatoo reviews VA profiles before they go live, ensuring the registry stays high quality for everyone. When a client reaches out to you through Delegatoo, they've already browsed the registry, found your profile, watched your introduction video, and made the decision to pay to contact you. That last part matters: clients on Delegatoo only pay when they want to get in touch with a VA. They are not window shopping. This is fundamentally different from posting on a platform where a client sends the same generic message to 40 VAs and picks whoever responds first at the lowest rate.

Transparent, Simple, and Built for VAs

The Delegatoo model is simple: clients pay a small subscription to find great VAs, VAs list their profiles for free, and everyone works out the details directly. There's no mystery around fees and no feeling that you're renting access to your own career.
