About OkayRelax
OkayRelax operates on kind of a hybrid model between a dedicated virtual assistant service and a task-based approach where any available team member can tackle your assignments.
While a distributed team approach does have certain advantages, the founders of OkayRelax felt there were some major problems with it as well. For example, if you’re constantly explaining repetitive tasks to new VAs, you’re never gaining any efficiency or process improvement ideas.
Plus, if you’re sharing sensitive data or login information, you don’t want that spread around to an army of anonymous virtual assistants.
OkayRelax – How it Works
The service is set-up around tasks, mini-projects up to 30 minutes, but unlike competitors Fancy Hands and Efficise, you get a dedicated assistant.
OkayRelax assistants work from home and serve (English-speaking) clients worldwide. The company’s proprietary screening and training process makes sure they can deliver exceptional service.
OkayRelax – Services
OkayRelax handles a range of virtual assistant tasks, but they really do focus on your individual needs as opposed to the needs of your business or company.
For example, they can book you a table at a local restaurant if you’ve forgotten to make a reservation or they could recommend an activity for you if you’re not quite sure what to do next weekend.
Clients rely on their OK Relax assistant to help with:
- online research for upcoming travel or product purchases
- email and calendar management
- data entry
- dealing with customer service on your behalf
I rely on OkayRelax for a number of recurring tasks related to my blog and podcast. I’ve been with the company since 2015 and am on my 4th assistant. They’ve all been reliable and worked well within my instructions.
OkayRelax Video Review
*Rates have increased 25-50% since I recorded the video, but are still quite affordable.
OkayRelax – Plans and Pricing
OkayRelax plans start at $29.95 a month for a 5 task plan. For comparison, Fancy Hands is also $30 for the same 5 tasks.
The popular 25-task plan runs $99.95 per month and heavy users can outsource 100 tasks under the OkayRelax Executive plan for $299.95 per month.
(I’m on the 25-task plan.)
If you “max out” the 30-minute per task guideline, you’re looking at equivalent labor rates as low as $12 an hour on the Starter plan, $8 an hour for the Professional plan, and theoretically as low as $6 an hour for the Executive plan.

Important Note: You can save up to 25% opting for annual billing, which might be worth a look if you find you really like the service.
You can assign tasks of up to 2.5 hours, and they’ll just charge 5 credits from your account. This is super handy because they recognize that not all jobs fit into nice 15-30 minute chunks.
Unused tasks roll over to the next month as long as you’re actively subscribed to your current plan or higher.
OkayRelax Alternatives
OkayRelax follows in the footsteps of other task-based virtual assistant companies, but with their own unique twist. As mentioned above, Efficise, Fancy Hands, and Perssist all operate similar models, though without the dedicated assistant.
In fact, I’m having a hard time thinking of another service that offers a dedicated VA for less than $100 a month.
Your Turn
Have you worked with OkayRelax before? Please leave a review below to help others with their decision.
I found OkayRelax here. I was having trouble with another VA service that just turned down everything I gave them or gave an excuse why they couldn’t do it. OkayRelax stepped up took my tasks and did them. It was a dream come true. I’ve very happy with the service and plan to be a long time customer.
I have used OkayRelax on a number of occasions, so as a repeat customer (current subscription has been for the last 8 months) I personally would recommend.
Yes, you have do be quite specific in what you ask for, and sometimes it can take a couple of attempts to get the right thing but once you and your assigned VA have figured out how to work together well, it really is a great service. Quality and even approach to tasks does vary from VA to VA but I experienced very good value for money, very good service and very good comms all round.
Their VAs handled my tasks perfectly, often doing a far better job that I could have myself. It was an enormous help to me. Honestly, I can’t think of a single thing to find fault with over the months and the many tasks that I asked for help with.
Worst service and waste of money. they copy and past stuff from google with no actual research or probably even reading the results. I keep forgetting to cancel but this month will be my last. Please do not waste your money as I have.
OkayRelax is perhaps the cheapest and most effective virtual assistant service I’ve tried and I couldn’t be happier!! My dedicated assistant is easy to converse with and finishes her tasks carefully and properly. Overall I’m happy with the service 🙂
This was my first time working with a VA and all I can say is wow! Definitely helped me get a lot done. Keep up the good work!
First, how they selected the VA assigned to me was perfect. I thought some of my tasks would be too hard for the VA since I’m a bit technical, but OkayRelax did an amazing job at selecting who to assign to me so it’s like I have doubled my working capacity.
Second, I know OkayRelax is some kind of agency, and they house many VAs. So I know that down on the ground, it’s really the VA that does most of the work. And let me tell you, my VA is a HARD WORKER. I can’t emphasize that further and I’m so grateful for a VA like her.
Third, my time and money are being spent its worth here at OkayRelax. And nobody wants those 2 resources of ours wasted.
Overall, HIGHLY recommended. Haven’t been disappointed in my 2 years with them.
Been with Okay Relax for 4 years plus and no plans of going anywhere else!
I should have read the reviews. Bad experience. Said they would call me – didn’t. Canceled service. Wasted my money. No response to my emails, no option for customer service at the main number provided. Dead phone line after I selected sales. The chat feature did not work.
Hi Jeff, thank you for sharing your feedback. Kindly note that our lines are only open between 9 AM and 5 PM EST. Our CSR, Princess, was able to respond to you via chat when you sent us a message a few minutes before 5 PM EST. However, when you returned past 5 PM, all our lines had already been closed, which is why no one was able to respond to you via chat or call right away. In line with this, we hope to see you back with us soon and we would be more than happy to assist you with anything you might need. 🙂
DO NOT USE OKAYRELAX. AVOID AVOID AVOID
I had an experience with a trial of OkayRelax about a year ago that ended relatively poorly but, after reading this review, decided that I would give it another shot. I was informed that free trials were no longer available, so I figured (against my better judgment) I’d just shell out the cash and give it a go.
This was a horrible mistake.
My first assistant had hours that were incompatible with mine – for some reason I was assigned someone on the east coast in spite of living on the west – that seemed like a small enough problem to solve and I was assigned an assistant to better fit my hours in relatively short order.
My second assistant, Shazar, however demonstrated an excessively poor attention to detail and incredibly slow response times. I informed support of this and was told that I would receive a new VA but was never assigned one. When I spoke to support directly, via chat, they said they’d fast track it (and told me that I wouldn’t be able to receive a refund – figures) and I got an email back from support saying that I’d get a new assistant within 24 hours.
72 hours later, no new assistant, no response from support – I talked to the head of customer service, Tammy P, about these issues – again requesting a refund and pasting in details from my chat transcript. Her service is awful, this service has been awful, and I highly HIGHLY recommend you avoid OkayRelax at all costs. I highly recommend you disregard whatever response she writes to this review — that was another of my big mistakes, I thought their response was a sufficient explanation of the situations they detailed.
Don’t fall for it.

This review is from YEARS ago. Whatever benefit they would have been back then, they certainly aren’t the same value now.
Hi John, we are sorry to hear that you are unsatisfied with your OkayRelax experience. To help you understand things better, please allow us to share what happened from our end.
We understand how important it is for you to have an assistant with hours that are aligned with yours. As you had requested for a dedicated assistant to closely work with you for entire 8-hour shifts, we tried our best to provide you with one who could cater to your specific needs, as this is what our primary goal is.
Unfortunately, it was difficult for us to find someone with the availability that you wanted, causing the delay in getting back to you with a new assistant. For clarity, our VAs handle tasks for several clients during their shift, which means that they cannot be available for a single client for the entire 8 hours. We understand the frustration that comes with the uncertainty of not receiving enough updates on this reassignment, and for this, we humbly apologize.
We hope you understand that in everything we do at OkayRelax, we always consider the overall situation of everyone involved. Unfortunately in this case, we feel that it would be unfair for us to subject our assistants to hours that are beyond what they are required. Having said that, we are once again sorry that we were unable to articulate this concern during the entire situation. Despite this, we hope you know that we are always open to hearing your feedback and are thankful for it, so that we may continue to improve and use these lessons to keep providing our clients with only the highest quality of service they deserve.
My name is Brenda Thompson I have been working with my dedicated virtual assistant for two years. His name is Shahzar is by far the best Dedicated Assistant. He demonstrates superior customer service . He works diligently to complete every assigned task before the due date. It such a pleasure to have a great dedicated assistant. I highly recommend OkayRelax service to anyone that need dependable l, honest and hard working team of dedicated assistance.
I’ve used Okay Relax now for >5 months and >30 tasks and I have become an avid fan.
I’ve outsourced everything from scaling my e-books on a template, researching agents, emailing podcast companies, and searching for Linkedin contacts and much more.
I give then a value and quality rating of 5 stars as often exceeds expectations. I give overall & communication 4 stars as sometimes miscommunication even with templates & 3-5 steps & passwords sent & multiple emails back and forth on simple tasks.
Always get better and better tho!! And willingness to learn with whole team & effort & value is awesome!!!
Update to my prior review on May 9th… Shahzar started off great, but did not pay attention to the detail I put on one of the tasks and ended up doing basically nothing other than pointing me to websites containing the information I had asked him to obtain for me. More importantly though, the recurring task I had expected each Monday was consistently late – sometimes as much as three days late. I ended up receiving more emails about when to expect the completion of the task than the actual task email.
I contact support last Wednesday to request that my VA be switched, and as of Monday received zero response. I went onto chat this morning to follow up, and clearly they weren’t interested. I also noted that I was being charged $129.95/month for a service advertised at $99.95/month. So, not only was a getting crappy service, I was being overcharged. Not impressed and can certainly no longer recommend. I’m canceling my subscription and looking for another firm.
I’m new to OkayRelax and signed up for them based on the reviews here (and after reading the 4 Hour Work Week). My dedicated assistant is Shahzar K, and so far, my results have been excellent. He’s handling one recurring reporting task that’s now saving my time each week, and has also completed two small research projects that have both gone very well. It takes a while to get used to relying on someone else to do these things, but if you can get into the habit, it’s highly recommended!
Excellent work. This service is critical to maximizing my business efficiency highly recommended
Working with OkayRelax has been a big help to get more done in less time – so that I don’t spent my limited free time doing administration. My dedicated VA (Mahrukh) and the rest of the team (Angel, Anna, Jonnel) are amazing, fast, precise and dedicated.
I don’t know what has changed but they have become way worse in the recent months. I no longer recommend.
Hi Flavio,
We appreciate your feedback as we are committed to finding ways to further improve our service and provide high quality assistance for you. Please allow us to extend our apologies for your most recent experience with us. We take full responsibility for the experience caused by our assistant’s delayed response.
We would love to see you back on our platform as a valued client and would like to start making amends by assigning you a new assistant for your tasks. Please feel free to shoot us a message at support@okayrelax.com so we could discuss further how we intend to make things right for you.
We look forward to hearing from you again, Flavio.
Have a great day and stay safe!
OkayRelax
Terrible service. One very simple task has so far taken over 2 days. A pointless waste of time and money.
Hello Craig,
We appreciate your feedback as we always strive to improve our service in any way we can, so we can provide the best. We have investigated this matter thoroughly and in light of this, please allow us to inform you what happened. You submitted a task which required us to log into your Google account, and set the priority to medium. This was submitted outside of the work hours of your assigned assistant. When your assistant got to the task within 12 hours, Google indicated that the password had already been changed 8 hours earlier, which was 4 hours after your task submission. During this time, we were saddened to see that you had already posted negative reviews of our service on various platforms.
While we can handle time-sensitive tasks and do so daily, we recommend submitting tasks during your assistant’s work hours if you would like it to be handled right away to ensure that this unfortunate incident would not happen again. You may also opt to set a task to recurring if you need it done on a specific day each week; this is common for tasks like replying to comments or emails. If your schedule doesn’t align well with your current assistant, you can submit a request to our support department to be switched to an assistant with different work hours. We cover all time zones, so finding someone that fits your schedule wouldn’t be a problem.
We would love to see you back on our platform so we can turn this around and give you the high-quality virtual assistance we take pride in. Shoot us another task and we would be more than happy to attend to it the best way that we can.
Cheers!

Shahzar at OkayRelax has been working with me for about two months on travel planning, expense tracking, and miscellaneous other tasks. He pays great attention to detail, often including useful information I didn’t think to ask for, while being consistently friendly and accommodating.
I have been with OkayRelax for almost 2 years now and within a few months of joining, I subscribed to their dedicated assistant service as I really liked the service they offered.
Angel was assigned to me and she is a god-send! She is very good at getting tasks completed accurately as per your instructions independently without much hand-holding, she is very thorough and detailed and also creative in finding solutions.
I can’t imagine a world without Angel!
I feel blessed to have found Angel here at Okay Relax. She’s an incredible angel – like her name suggests.
Her work ethic and efficiency are second to none.
She takes the time to review every task carefully making sure that every task is done exactly as required.
I’m constantly amazed at her powers of response, detail orientation, and efficiency.
Plus she’s wonderful to have conversations with too!
I’m truly grateful for Angel and all her help that she’s continued to give.
Looking forward to many years of productive and fun work together!
Thanks Angel!
It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Shahzar. He is a quick learner, consistent and excels at doing intelligent work that requires research.
It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Shahzar and some of the others at Okay Relax. The tasks are done in a fast, efficient and caring manner. I am often surprised how many details Shahzar is considering that I could never have added to the brief.
Most of the tasks focused on research, which always comes back with concise summaries and links to the original material.
Shahzar is also great at chasing up suppliers via phone to clarify expectations.
Thank you so much!
I am loving Shahzar at Okayrelax. He has helped me with tasks that have been hanging over my head for a while. He has been exceptional.
I am on my first month of okayrelax and my assistant, Anas, is wonderful. The timing isn’t always perfect but I do not expect it to be and hopefully, it is something we can work on together.
I have only been with OkayRelax for a short time, but already love the service and my VA Shahzar! Very detailed information exactly to order and an immense help during a very busy time for me!
I’ve been using Okay relax for the last 2.5 years now (see my comment at the start of the reviews below). 2.5 years on and I can’t speak highly enough of them. It’s not an exaggeration to say they have changed my life. Professional, courteous, alert to when things are urgent, wide range of skills and very slick operation. It’s not always perfect but it doesn’t need to be. The service is incredibly valuable and the human effort that goes into it is fantastic. Thanks guys, here’s to another 2.5 years!!
Worth noting the value of having an excellent dedicated assistant as well as access to Okayrelax’s pool of VA’s. Shahzar has been my dedicated assistant and go-to guy throughout and has been simply incredible – much of the success in my collaboration with OKR has been down to him.
We are incredibly grateful of your loyalty to OkayRelax, Alexis. Our virtual assistants are pleased to learn of your high praise. They work very diligently and this will provide them with great encouragement to keep doing what they are doing. And of course, as always, we are proud of Shahzar. He really is amazing.
It is our goal to make sure that we provide customer satisfaction. Clients like you makes our job wonderful. Thank you so much and cheers to more years with us!
Okay Relax has been a fantastic investment. My VA Saud has handled a variety of tasks with grace and skill.
He constantly provides value whether it’s managing customer service calls with companies I don’t have the time to call myself, researching the best option for a new product I need to purchase, or planning a weekend getaway.
I can no longer imagine my life without this service.
Thank you for leaving a review, Jessica and for mentioning Saud. You’re right, he does handle tasks with grace and skill. We appreciate your trust in our virtual assistant services and we will continue to provide you the quality of service that you deserve.
I am a new Okay Relax customer but I could not be happier. My VA, Anas, has been outstanding. He has handled everything I have throw at when with very little input from me. This service has totally exceeded my expectations.
Thank you for your feedback, Craig. We agree that Anas is a really outstanding virtual assistant and we are lucky to have him here at OkayRelax. Rest assured that we will continue to exceed your expectations.
I’ve only been utilizing OkayRelax’s services for about 2 months now, loving it. They’ve saved me a lot of time dealing with a variety of tasks: canceling and scheduling appointments, booking work trips and vacations, researching, etc. It is really nice having a dedicated assistant and my assistant Anas has exceeded my expectations!
Always on it with tasks given, replies fast, completes task on time and sometimes earlier. This guy is easy to communicate with and very professional. He is very knowledgeable with business and has helped me save so much time! I would totally recommend this company.
We appreciate your 5-star review, Roy. Here in OkayRelax, it is our goal to lighten up your load and save you more time and we feel proud that we have given that to you. We are glad that you are happy with Anas’ works. We have informed him of this and he was so thrilled to see this review.
After a recommendation from a trusted mentor, I decided to look into how a VA might be able to help me keep my head above water with day-to-day tasks for the communications consulting company I launched about 1.5 years ago. Firstly: shout-out to Virtual Assistant Assistant for helping guide me from there — although the concept of VAs was nothing new to me, I didn’t realize how nascent the industry still is. When I set out to research wtf VAs really are, I was simultaneously overwhelmed by all of the available companies to choose from and confused by the lack of solid, reliable peer feedback. Until I stumbled upon this site…
ANYWAY, I continued my research — checking out various companies + comparing pricing, then cross-referencing with Virtual Assistant Assistant and, ultimately, came to the conclusion that: the VA industry is still a bit of the wild west — it’s not like Uber/Lyft where there are some strong leaders that people naturally gravitate toward. It’s a niche industry and each company’s offerings are slightly different. For me, it became a matter of testing out a few options to figure out what was best for my specific needs. Which is what led me to Okay Relax.
I started my first month with Okay Relax having done *some* research on how to work with a VA, but, in fairness, I was still a newbie / gave myself a full month to try it on for size without overthinking the process. What resulted was game-changing. I first tested out a month of unlimited tasks and was assigned a designated VA: Tammy (who has since become a resource of super hero proportions in my life). Given I had unlimited asks, I wrote out a long list of every single thing I could think to ask (things that could be done in ~30 mins) — some were work-related, others were simply things that came to mind on the spot. Depending on the task I was assigning, I would either select to delegate it to Tammy directly, or send it to the “Task Pool”, and I received phenomenal results with both options.
For me, I found it helpful to reach out to Tammy directly when the task at-hand was either personal, or something that I didn’t fully know how to explain, but knew that Tammy could interpret and assess accordingly. For broader asks — i.e. “help me build a list of reporters who cover XX [subject]”, not only do I trust the “Task Pool” to complete them — I now know they will deliver top-notch results, regardless of how vague, weird, annoying or menial the ask. Okay Relax has clearly done an amazing job of training all VAs to deliver amazing customer support. The result is a team of professional, responsive and thoughtful VAs that genuinely put their all into helping the client with any ask. For instance, Emerald, one of Okay Relax’s VAs, assigned to a handful of the tasks I’ve submitted to the Pool and she treats each of the tasks as though she were my designated VA.
Okay Relax does a great job of taking note of personal preferences, so that, no matter which VA is completing your task, they’re all doing it to your liking. For example, I prefer to receive docs via Google Drive vs. Microsoft Word / Excel. After letting Okay Relax know this, every task I’ve submitted since has been in a Google Doc. Separately, it feels as though all of the VAs I’ve worked with (especially Tammy) have experience in exactly the areas you need them to. I can ask something as vague as, “I’m not sure how to get doctor referrals from my health insurance” and Tammy not only gives me a detailed report — breaking it down into layman’s terms — but also proactively offers to handle the next steps for me, in an effort to take more off my plate. Another example: the other day, knowing I had a handful of tasks left in my 2nd month, I decided to put a simple ask out to the Pool, asking if anyone could help me do some industry research on my industry (PR / communications). Jenny responded right away letting me know she was on it. 24 hours later, she sent me a *51 page* research report, including more details than I ever could’ve asked for / exceeding my expectations.
The one downside is that Okay Relax doesn’t have a mobile app. To be fair, I didn’t get far enough along in my research phase to find out whether other VA companies do have more of a mobile presence, but, it does seem to me that the industry, as a whole, is a bit dated in its application of technology. That said, I’ve adapted to Okay Relax’s web platform and would never sacrifice this level of customer support for the convenience of an app.
I highly recommend Okay Relax to anyone who’s looking for high-quality VA assistance — particularly people who are able to trust that someone will be on it and aren’t too nit-picky about who it is (as long as the job gets done right). As corny as it sounds: the Okay Relax team has changed my life. I feel like a super hero with them. I wake up and things that have been weighing on me for months are completed — while I was sleeping. While it definitely does take time to spell out what I need from each task (in order to get the precise results I’m looking for), I never feel as though I have to over-explain anything. If anything, Tammy and the rest of the team are able to read my mind and anticipate next steps, then just make it all happen.
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback, Kristen. We are so happy that you have given our virtual assistant services a chance. We love working on your tasks and rest assured that we will continue to deliver the same quality of service.
Having a mobile app is already part of our development plans. We will definitely announce it once we have it.
We have shared your review with Tammy and the rest of the team here in OkayRelax and they feel more motivated because of it. Again, thank you for trusting our service.
I’ve only been utilizing OkayRelax’s services for about a month so far, but it has been fantastic. They’ve saved me a lot of time dealing with a variety of tasks: canceling and scheduling appointments, helping manage my calendar, formatting address labels, researching vendors, researching software, etc. I initially opted for the service with only 5 tasks a month and no dedicated assistant but quickly switched to the plan with 25 tasks a month and a dedicated assistant because the service is so helpful. It is really nice having a dedicated assistant and my assistant Shahzar has exceeded my expectations.
Thank you for rating our VA service with five stars, Emily! We love to hear that you’ve had a wonderful client experience with us. We’re very lucky to have Shahzar on our VA team. We shared your review with Shahzar & he was happy to see your review. We take the time to carefully listen to our client’s needs, so we can match the right VA for you. We appreciate your trust in our services.
Had a little of an issue with one of the assigned assistants but contacted them in reference to it. They quickly corrected and assigned me a new person who is fantastic so far! Very impressive service and response time! Hopefully it stays that way!
Barbara is also great and understands the needs of her clients along with Shahzar!
Thank you for your awesome review, Kevin! We’re sorry that you had some task issues with your former Virtual Assistant. But, it sounds like we’ve redeemed ourselves, by giving you another one of our wonderful VAs, Shahzar. We’re so glad that you had a great experience with Barbie, our Manager, too. We couldn’t agree more that Barbie & Shahzar understand the needs of our clients. We will continue to monitor our VAs to ensure the highest quality services for you. We always encourage & appreciate your honest feedback, Kevin.
I love OkayRelax! My assistant, Angel, is awesome. She gets every task finished on time, she doesn’t need to ask a million questions, but she does ask well-thought questions! She even catches MY mistakes! I feel really lucky I found them.
Thank you for sharing your great 5-star review with us, Alicia! It means the world to us that you enjoy and benefit from our services. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, and we agree, Angel is truly a gem to have on our Virtual Assistant team! We count ourselves lucky for valued clients like you, Alicia. We look forward to continuing to meet your VA needs in the future.
I’ve worked with a few different VA services, including Fancy Hands and Habiliss, and OkayRelax has been the best experience so far. Skilled assistants that can handle a variety of tasks, good communication, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for your kind words and excellent review, Isaac! We work hard to meet expectations like yours and we’re so happy to hear that we hit the mark for you. We really appreciate you being a loyal client and helping to share the word about us. We’re here to provide the best quality Virtual Assistant services for you. We strive to go above and beyond for you!
I’m just finishing up my first task with OkayRelax virtual assistant, Angel J. She handled my task quickly and efficiently. She also gave me daily updates so I was always on top of where she was and how she was doing.
Being new to hiring virtual assistants, I really didn’t know what to expect. When you try these kinds of services for the first time, you prepare yourself for the worst.
I can happily say that this was money well spent! Angel finished out my task and saved me a ton of time that I was able to spend elsewhere on my business. I’m glad I gave this service a try and I’d definitely recommend it!
We couldn’t be happier that Angel J. provided you with an excellent Virtual Assistant experience, Shelley! She is a true asset and we are lucky to have her on our OkayRelax team. Would you mind sharing your recommendation with friends, when they need our services? We’d love to make your experience even more amazing, so if there is anything you would recommend us improving, don’t hesitate to let us know.
I have worked with my virtual assistant now for different tasks and it has been such a pleasant experience, worry free! Extremely professional and communicative. The quality of the work is excellent, they gave me my time back.
We would like to thank you for this amazing review, Paula! We’re so glad that your Virtual Assistant provided you with excellent quality work. Our goal is 100% client satisfaction and it sounds like we achieved that goal with you. We want every experience to be “five stars!” Thank you for being a loyal client with us. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future. We appreciate you!
I have been working with Tammy P at Okayrelax for a couple of months. The amount of relief that she has provided is more than worth the price. She provides a very quick response, is diligent in her follow-up with third parties, and gives me an accurate status as to where things are. It has almost become second nature for me to “ask Tammy” to do things. I really appreciate her professionalism, accurate and pleasant communication, and availability. Truly a joy to work with.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Jason! These lovely words really made our day. We’re ecstatic that you’re overly satisfied with Tammy P. as your Virtual Assistant. Tammy P. goes above & beyond to exceed all of our client’s expectations, including your task needs. Would you mind sharing this fantastic review with your family and friends? We take pride in providing you with the best service you deserve. We will continue to enjoy working with you in the future.
I have been working with Mohammed at Okay Relax for 2 months now, he has been a pleasure. Being on a completely different time zone makes me have to replan how I use my assistant, but having my emails organized for me, my online research completed each night before I get to the office the next day… Not to shabby. Be aware that you really need to plan how you are going to use the VA, if you don;t you will be spending money and not using all your credits (I went 2 weeks without using a credit). Overall it has been a great experience.
We’re so glad you’re happy Chris! We appreciate your dynamic feedback of working with us. We love helping our clients and always aim to meet every expectation. We’ll share your compliments with Mohammed, so we can recognize his outstanding VA work with you. We will do our best to maintain your confidence in our Virtual Assistant services in the future.
I am extremely happy with Okay Relax. I am renting houses out and have other tasks I need assistance with. The work is high quality and reliable.
I am very happy with my Virtual Assistants Tammy P, Wafa A., Jenny P. and all of the others.
I would highly recommend Okay Relax.
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback, Frederick. It is our goal to always provide a high quality service and we are so happy that we were able to provide that to you.
We appreciate your trust and rest assured that we will continue to provide a reliable virtual assistant services.
Trust is most important for outsourced help. I feel like I can trust my virtual assistant. Additionally the quality of work is very high for the price. I would highly recommend this service.
Thank you for your wonderful five star review, Alex! These lovely words really made our day. We’re ecstatic that you’re overly satisfied with your Virtual Assistant. Our VAs go above & beyond to exceed all of our client’s expectations, including your task needs. Would you mind sharing this fantastic review with your family and friends? We take pride in providing you with the best service you deserve, Alex! We will continue to enjoy working with you in the future.
Okayrelax is a great service to save your time. My VA Hina is doing a great job as she is handling all my daily tasks and save a lot of my time. The tasks are done on time and communicate very well. I would highly recommend this service as it makes life easier.
That’s great news from you, Steven! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to provide us an awesome review! We really appreciate you sharing your honest feedback with us. It’s not surprising that your VA, Hina, did a fantastic job for a valued client like you, Steven. Our VAs are dedicated & loyal to all of our clients including you. Honestly, we’re always here to assist you with whatever your business needs require in the future.
So far my experience with OkayRelax has been great. My dedicated VA (Hina) and the rest of the team does a great job and save me a lot of time! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your amazing review, Filipe! We are overwhelmed with your five star rating review! Your VA, Hina, does a wonderful job & we’ll make sure she gets your well-deserved recognition. Our Virtual Assistants work very hard to provide you with the highest quality service for all of your task needs. We strive to exceed your expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future.
I just want to take a moment to say how much I absolutely LOVE Okayrelax. I’ve been using them for several months now and they are by far my favorite service. It’s the perfect blend between personal touch and pool based tasks.
I have several daily and weekly tasks that my personal assistant handles for me. They are always done on time and extremely well. Any adjustments are generally caused by me not communicating what I need effectively or data not being available that I’m having them pull. When I ask for a change, it is done promptly.
For more generic tasks, I will generally send it out to the pool where they will generally get back to me in a day or two (more than good enough).
For anything urgent, I reach out to my assistant (since I know his schedule) and it is done extremely quickly.
Overall, these guys go above an beyond and I could not be happier with them!

Unfortunately a very bad experience for me. My assistant was always busy with somebody else’s tasks. Constantly delayed (a week or more to complete a simple task), constant excuses, promises to do better next time, etc. I was assigned another assistant and had the same issues. I have screenshots of time of completion of various late tasks and communications with their customer service and management if somebody is interested to check them out. I gave them one opportunity after another until I just couldn’t accept keep paying for poor service anymore.
Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us. We’re sorry to hear about your unfortunate VA experience with us. We really appreciate your feedback and hope that you give us the opportunity to resolve a solution for you.

My assistant, Pirzada Shahzar, is absolutely outstanding! I would recommend him and OkayRelax to anyone that is feeling overwhelmed and needs extra help. Shahzar is amazing! His quality of work is fantastic, he is incredibly fast and completes tasks much quicker than I ever could, and is fantastic with communication. I have nothing but incredible things to say about him and this company. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the review Bob.
*SME and Management at OkayRelax*
Okayrelax is an excellent service and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of extra help. I feel comfortable asking my assistant Pirzada to handle any kind of task that requires a fluency in english and research ability. His work ethic, intelligence, and sense of responsibility is outstanding and I’m very grateful to be working with him.
Thank you so much for the review Mike.

This is the best service I’ve paid for.
I’m the founder of a small company in Silicon Valley. My assistant Dragomir is an absolute beast at making sure things get done.
I just send him a whatsapp message or recording and he gets it done.
Thank you so much for the review Kumar.
*SME and Management at OkayRelax*
been pretty good so far. the assistant is very polite, and tries hard, and is an excellent writer. sometimes hard to find tasks for them to do without more involvement from me- most of the time i have to wade in. but at least it is reminder to me to not neglected these tasks. and turnaround times can be slow. a few times there has been some issue of the task being “stuck in the task pool.” for the modest price, worth it.
Hi Apple!
Thank you for sharing a compliment of your Virtual Assistant’s politeness, strong work ethic, and excellent writing skills. Our valuable Virtual Assistants strive to go above and beyond to provide our clients with excellent and high-quality Virtual Assistant services.

Our clients can choose either a Starter, Professional, or Unlimited Plan. The Starter Plan provides five task credits with a Random Assistant, not a Dedicated Assistant.

Most of our project tasks are handled within one to two business days for our clients.
Our Virtual Assistants are highly skilled and experienced, but also require some communication and guidance from you to complete project tasks to fit within your specified requirements for any project task that is assigned to them.

Our clients are our first priority. We strive to provide a superior client experience with our professional Virtual Assistant services.
Used them for nearly three years and dropping them at the end of this month. I’m not sure what happened, but their good assistants have left and the current assistants can’t manage to complete a single request without a few back-and-forth emails. I spend more time dealing w/ the assistants than I would just completing some tasks myself.
I don’t recommend them.

Not one of my tasks were completed by OkayRelax without me getting involved. I wound up having to finish every task on my own. In addition, when I signed up for a 5 task trial, it was not clear that it was a recurring monthly subscription. I realized it after 3 additional months of billing. Although I never requested more than 5 tasks, they refused to credit me for 3 months of billings. Terrible service and reprehensible customer service.
Sorry they didn’t work out for you. Is the 5 task trial still offered? I can’t find it anywhere on their site.
Thank you for sharing your helpful thoughts with us. We’re extremely sorry that you had to face such difficulties with our Virtual Assistant Services. However, we’d like to learn more about exactly what happened in your situation, so we can solve the issues for you.

I have been very pleased with OkayRelax. My dedicated assistant is wonderful to work with and he had certainly learned my preferences as we’ve worked together. A lot of things are intuitive to him now.
The quality of the work is high and the turn around time is very good during normal business hours.
I would recommend them without reservations.
Flexible and accommodating. Helpful all the way.
Thank you so much for the review Aaron.
*SME and Management at OkayRelax*
I’m quite pleased with the service so far. My VA is very efficient and gets the job done. Great communication when things don’t go as planned.I’m a bit concerned about a double charge for the services that I’m trying to clear up.

Thank you so much for the review Frederick.
*SME and Management at OkayRelax*
I signed up about a month in a half ago. It has been nothing but smooth sailing. They have created accounts for me completed research and other task all in a very timely manner. I have nothing but praise for “Okay Relax”
Very happy with the service.
Okay Relax was supposed to make my life easier but it ended up being a huge waste of time and money for us!!! The tasks required constant back and forth with the assistants and were not done in a timely manner (over a week for certain tasks). So, after two months we cancelled….except 3 months later I find out that we have been getting charged every month!!! They set you up for autopay without any confirmation and refuse to refund. Over $300 and all it did was cost me time and stress!!
Hi Kristine,

Not impressed at all so far. Have had to manage the hell out of these guys for not-great results and a lot of excuses. Put in a task with medium priority – 12 hours later, no one had picked it up. Had frustrating exchange with customer service, who blamed me for putting in a request after 5pm (note that what they call their “operable hours” are not posted anywhere on their site; they are *only* 9am=5pm M-F). Had to threaten to cancel my service before someone picked up the task. (I joined as a “premium” member.) Put in another, simple task – find a doctor near my house (in a major city), who takes my insurance. Assistant took all day to get me one name of a doc – outside of the parameters. Sent that back for further work but – guess what? Not only is there no service after 5pm, no one works on tasks over the weekends. I’m going to try them for another week, but so far, this is some bull***
Hi ACP,
We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to provide us with your helpful feedback. We’re sorry that you weren’t satisfied with services that we offered to you. However, we’d like to know the specific details of what happened in your case, so we can better service your VA needs and maintain your business in the future.

Shahzar is timely and very pleasant. It is fun getting better and better working with him. Worth the value!
Shahzar K. is GREAT!
Very accurate and very quick.
Shahzar is extremely detail oriented and a great communicator.
I was a little iffy about using such a value priced VA but everything has been great! Communication=Great, Work+Great, Value=Great!!!!
Don’t waste time thinking about using OkayRelax and go ahead and subscribe!
Am really happy with my experience with OKRelax. Also I appreciate the opportunity to develop a relationship with somebody rather that just a random assistant (although that is a possibility and a valuable option). The longer I am here, the more potential I see how this can support my business and life. I recommend it for sure!.Thank you!
Thank you so much for the review Deirdre.
*SME and Management at OkayRelax*
Been using OkayRelax for a few months now and have had a great experience.
It’s the only service that’s affordable while still allowing you access to a dedicated assistant, and for me being matched with someone who you develop trust in and who can understand your preferences is a big deal. If you want more instant turnaround on a task than a dedicated assistant can provide, you can assign it to a task pool for anyone who’s around.
And my assistant’s been great about calling me for clarifications and doing complicated tasks that require coordination and stretch across multiple blocks of time.
Downsides: the UI is pretty clunky, though generally workable – you have to submit tasks through a PHP form on a website rather than an app or e-mail, and it’s not clear how many credits each task takes. And communication of the status of longer in-progress tasks could be better.
Overall though, great value, and will be my primary service moving forward.
Thank you for informing us about your experience with us. We would like to extend to you our most sincere apologies regarding the response issues with our services.
You have been a valued client for the last two years with us. Our Virtual Assistants respond in a timely manner to all of our clients, so we would like to know some additional details of what happened, so we can better resolve this important issue with you.

So, far very dissapointed with the service offered by OkayRelax.
It has been a week, and the task is not completed yet! In the mean time I contacted customer support, their answer included:
“… due to a slight problem in our server your task vanished from the task pool that is why no VA was able to attend it. I will get someone immediately on it and you will get it done tomorrow for sure.”
than 2 days later on Friday someone emailed me that they working on my task assuring it will be done same day, however today we have Monday and no sign of life from OkayRelax
I would be better of doing this task by myself LOOOOOL
Not sure what is with this service, have requested 2 tasks all research based (maybe too difficult) since Thursday evening & not heard a word from my main VA or the random pool. I signed up for the highest level of service and it’s like the sound of crickets so far with them. I have no idea what is the suppsed to be the turn around on requests but I might as well have done it myself.
Hi Eddy,
Thank you so much for your feedback. We apologize that our service did not satisfy your expectations. We set a high standard for our services and are truly sorry to hear that standard was not met in your interaction with our business.
We would like to know some background information about your specific situation, so we can better service you and your needs in the future.

Each virtual assistant I’ve interacted with has been excellent. Each one is highly attentive to detail and provides exemplary results.
Currently, I have the Starter Plan, which means I only have access to random assistants. However, now that I have seen what OkayRelax is capable of, I am considering the Professional Plan to obtain a dedicated personal virtual assistant.
I’ve used OkayRelax for a few months now. Like everyone else stated below. Their quality of work have been very high. Great communication, and my VA has done a fantastic job. Saves so much of my time. The only down side is that their turnover time can take a few days so I never assign them time sensitive tasks.
This is my first experience working with a virtual assistant service and I am seriously impressed! My dedicated assistant Moiz always provides great results to any task I submit. I also find that their website and communication with my assistant is extremely user-friendly.
With the constant drama of kids and work, OkayRelax has really taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. I highly recommend!
I cancelled the service within the first month because of general incompetence and failure to pay attention to detail. Several times tasks were delayed for DAYS as we traded emails clarifying what I was looking for – when I asked my dedicated assistant to call me so we could get a move on he just never replied. I ended up doing 4 out of the initial 7 tasks myself, with 1 (which was time sensitive) simply going undone.
A great concept, but the service overall is a huge failure.
I have used the service when the price was 5 request for $14.95 and 25 request was $49.95. The service is fair. I needed someone to call back clients and obtain information. I found this to be difficult for the service to truly do. Phone calls were made without leaving messages. Questions were not answered sufficiently. Leaving me to follow-up and do the work myself. I ask the assistant to obtain information about certain hotels. This was a test because one of the hotels I gave I already had many of the answers. The information came back incorrect and unreliable. When I asked about certain amenities I was told the hotel was lacking. I knew they didn’t not call or even go the website. I was unhappy about this. Finally, I had a credit card incident that made me stop using their service. Someone started making reservations with my credit card information. Thankfully my bank stepped in and no money was taken but for 4 days this “person” were trying to spend over $1000 of my money. I don’t want to blame them but I surely didn’t feel comfortable that this happened as soon as I joined. So I left. Soon as I left and looked at their site again the price had risen extremely. I would be careful using this service.
I have been using Okay Relax for about 4 months, and after a slightly rocky start I have found my virtual assistant, Ainee, to be an invaluable help. She is polite, responsive, communicates well, and the quality of her work is very high. Based on my interactions with Ainee I would rate the service as 5 stars, but my initial experience with a different assistant and using the task pool was less positive. I asked to be switched to Ainee, and since then I have had no problems, and the service offers great value for money.
I tried signing up for this service a week ago. So far I haven’t had any updates on the task I requested. I would expect at least some indication of progress, and a week is way too long. It seems like they don’t have it all together.
This service is just ok, but not outstanding.
On their website, they claim the VA can do anything from updating a website, to making calls to email newsletters to scheduling. I’m finding that this is not the case.
For calls and simple data entry tasks, it has worked out well. Turnaround is about 24 hours. Don’t send anything super urgent.
However, I had a WordPress website update task. The VA told me that he didn’t know WordPress, but would try to learn it. I sent a video, but the ticket just stayed open for days and days and days.
Also, I wish there was a better way to contact the VA’s. The only way I know to ask a question is to open a ticket, which burns a credit. But, you can get that reversed.
I DO like that they will make follow up calls. I kept my account open at the basic level for this reason.
However, I’m also getting an overseas VA via Upwork to handle the tasks that OK Relax can’t or won’t do.
I have been using the service for about 3 weeks now and am very happy with my assistant, Shahzar. OkayRelax has been a great help with my admin tasks. I’m an author with a lot of books and properties to manage and it was getting to the point where I was overwhelmed, but I wasn’t yet ready to hire an employee. The fact that you get a dedicated VA who gets to know you and how you work was the big selling point for me compared to other services. This service is a great way to get experience with a VA and will teach you how to work with one. Can’t recommend them enough.
My OkayRelax VA, Shahzar, is an amazing blessing and asset to my business! As an entrepreneur, time is so valuable and I can trust that things I delegate will get done with a high level of quality.
I had been considering finding a service like this for some time, and a recent Simpleology article comparing top virtual assistant companies (http://web.simpleology.com/i/link.php?M=1596821&N=4870&L=1807&F=H) helped me make my decision. Okay Relax made the top of their list, and I can see why. As others have said, the interface itself is very intuitive, simple, and mostly bug-free (I was multitasking while writing up a detailed task and the system logged me out, causing me to lose everything I’d written. Should’ve known better, but frustrating nonetheless). Larger tasks use more credits, which makes perfect sense. This is managed by your dedicated assistant, and so far mine is very reasonable with how this is handled. The tasks that I’ve given directly to my virtual assistant have been completed very promptly. I tried to spread out the workload by assigning a couple of tasks to the “task pool,” and so far these are not being handled as efficiently. In my case, my best bet seems to be to give everything to my dedicated assistant. I’m very pleased with this service and imagine that I’ll be using it more and more as I get used to having a dedicated assistant.
What can I say – these guys really are awesome! Very courteous, hard working and responsive to my needs. I can’t ask for more. The pricing is sensible, and the level of communication is excellent. Highly recommended!
OkRelax is my first experience with virtual assistant services. And so far, my experience has been fantastic. My designated assistant, John M., has perfectly understood the deliverables I wanted for each task. And he has delivered great quality work every time. The service interface is extremely easy to use. You just describe the task you need done in a window box. And you can always call or email your designated assistant to discuss it. The service also has support staff which you can call or email, to answer questions about the service. I had a question regarding mid-month plan upgrades that I emailed, and they answered it in less than 30 minutes.
I have been using the service for less than a month, so I will update my review when I have a bit more experience. But so far, the bottom line for me is this. If you need to free up some time, and you have the types of tasks that OkRelax handles, I strongly recommend giving OkRelax a try. I am very glad I did.
So far, my experience with OkayRelax has been great! My dedicated assistant has been wonderful to work with. She is polite, well-spoken and resourceful. I especially love her communication skills. She doesn’t leave me in the dark about my tasks’ progress and if she has a question, she will ask me instead of trying to guess. I’m so pleased with her work, in fact, that I am considering getting another virtual assistant at the same package value. Great job, guys! Keep up the good work.
Promote code not working?? Or link for 50% off.. Chatting w/them now to see what’s up..
I recently had the chance to take a trial of the new OkayRelax virtual assistant service. I found their hybrid model of a task-based service with a dedicated assistant pretty interesting.
The quality of the work was really high, and I appreciated the opportunity to tackle longer tasks up to a couple hours by burning more task credits.
I had my dedicated assistant Ainee compile research on other outsourcing companies, find restaurant options for me to host a meetup in Chicago, and get preliminary life-insurance quotes.
The one drawback with a dedicated service like this is the turnaround times are naturally slower than with a 24/7 on-demand service. Still, the quality was very strong and I’m sure the prices will go up soon!
