About Remplo
Remplo has been providing virtual assistant services since 2006, though briefly went through a weird period of name changes. (For a time during 2017-2018, the company was known as TaskEngage or Outvas.)
Being in the virtual assistant space for that long and still going strong is testament to a good reputation and a lot of satisfied clients. The company is headed up by Roshana Mallawaarachchi, and their target customers are small businesses and entrepreneurs.
They claim to have worked with over 1,000 clients, and saved them time by having their skilled virtual assistants handle their tasks at a cost effective and competitive rate.
Roshana pointed out that they have, “minimized issues associated in working with staff in autonomous and distant locations by keeping the contractors accountable and productive no matter where they are working from in the world.” That’s a mouthful, right?
He added that their hiring process utilizes a 10-step process designed by Richard Branson’s former executive assistant.
Remplo assistants are located in Sri Lanka, with sales offices in Australia and the UK.
Services
The company provides clients with VAs ready to tackle any day-to-day tasks a business owner would look to outsource. They do however group their virtual assistants’ skill sets into six categories as follows:
- Admin and Organizing
- Writing
- Marketing and Social Media
- Research
- Sales
- Medical Transcription
If your needs fall under any of the categories above, or you just have routine tasks you want to outsource, provide Remplo with as much detail as possible. The more detail you provide upfront, the better the communication and understanding is going forward.
Remplo assistants work from their home offices instead of from a dedicated call center-type cubicle farm, which results in lower overhead and additional cost savings.
Plans and Pricing
Remplo is among the most affordable VA companies I’ve seen, with rates set at $5 an hour across their menu of plans:
That means you can start out with a dedicated Remplo assistant for just $50 a month for 10 hours of work.
If you have a little more work, you can buy a 40-hour per month plan for just $200.
The popular “Gold” level plan offers a dedicated VA for around 20 hours a week for $400, and a full-time assistant will run you $800 a month.
Remplo Alternatives
Among Remplo’ top competitors are companies like My Tasker and TaskBullet, but you’ll pay a slightly higher hourly rate at either of those.
Remplo has been in business for a long time and they do have a lot of experience in the virtual assistant space which goes a long way. I always recommend doing some due diligence and making contact with companies to see how they fit with your needs.

Remplo has a wonderfully affordable and flexible plan, and the owner, Roshana, is very friendly and accommodating! The VA service is prompt, professional, and very cost effective. I highly recommend Remplo for your VA needs!
Remplo is an outstanding asset to my daily work and upcoming business ventures. My VA has been spot on with responses, updates, and follow ups. She does not delay in starting on my requests and her updates and communication in all things is superb!
I’ve been waiting for years, through trial and mostly error, to find someone as intelligent, reliable, resourceful, and communicative as my Remplo VA. This is the first time I can ever remember being able to delegate something and having actual peace of mind that it will be addressed quickly and correctly. My life just got 110% easier. Please keep up the excellent work, and I’ll continue to be a raving fan!
With MUCH Gratitude!
My VA was very helpful and friendly. She never complained and always finished her
work efficiently and carefully. I would highly recommend Remplo.
Now that I have Remplo to handle all my business tasks, I’m more productive. I’m closing more transactions, and I can finally exhale — truly enjoying!
I have tried Upwork, Freelancer, Guru and PeoplePerHour. Now everything is easy with TaskEngage.
I love TaskEngage ! I have an amazing experience with them.They build my site from the ground up. I am extremely, exceedingly, wonderfully, happily, marvelously impressed with their web developing team.I continue to be their customer till now…!
I really loved my experience with TaskEngage. The fast delivery, quick email response. I’ll always recommend them. Awesome job too.
I have been using Remplo. They have been awesome. I’m sure they are not the only VA but they are very professional and that makes a big difference.
I hired a virtual assistant from Remplo for the listing of my products on Amazon. They really did a great job. This company offers a free trial and money back guarantee.
I’ve been using 5-6 virtual assistants on a daily basis for over 2 years now and overall I have been quite happy with the service they provide.
I have used VA’s from India and China in the past, but I have been most impressed with the level of English and the reliability of the Sri Lankan people. It’s by far my favorite destination for hiring VA’s.
Roshana has always been my contact person in Remplo and he quickly deals with any problems.
Working with remote staff can be a nightmare but with Remplo I have never had a major issue and for this reason I am happy to continue. If you are looking for a VA I would definitely recommend you give them a try.
I love my Remplo Virtual Assistants. I wish I’d done this five years ago!”
