Get Friday

GetFriday is a global Virtual Assistant Service based in India that has been operating since 2005. They provide personal and business support to individuals, startups, and small businesses in over 80 countries. The company was originally known as YourManInIndia before rebranding to GetFriday, inspired by the character Man Friday from Robinson Crusoe.

The company operates through four different time zones to provide 24/7 global coverage. Their headquarters are located in Bangalore, Karnataka, with a specific office address at TTK Services Private Limited Smartworks on Varthur Road. They also maintain a Business Operations center at Novel MSR Park in the same city.

To get started, users complete a signup process where their details are shared with a team lead who matches them with a qualified assistant. If a user wants to select their own assistant after interviewing a few, it will take a little more time before they can begin working.

Pricing starts from a Pay-As-You-Go plan at $8 per month billed monthly and goes up to a full-time monthly plan. There are also specific plans like the BASIC 20 for $220/month and the PLUS 160 for $1280/month, with specialized services like website design requiring separate quotes.

GetFriday offers a wide range of services including Business Process Support, Website & App Development, SEO/Digital Marketing, and Bookkeeping Services. For industries, they provide specialized assistants for Real Estate, Ecommerce, and Legal Services, often using tools like Odoo for implementation.

The company is ISO 27001 certified and emphasizes that their assistants have degrees and undergo training in office software, written English, and client service. They also use AI tools to draft first versions and summarize documents before a human checks and finishes the work.

There is no minimum lock-in period for monthly plans, allowing users to upgrade or downgrade freely. However, all changes including cancellation require a 30-day notice period to manage resource planning and reallocation effectively.

Users must provide credit card details during signup because the company works on a prepaid basis. Invoices are generated at the start of every month based on the subscribed plan, and the card is charged accordingly without a free trial period.

It usually takes one business day to assign a suitable assistant after the signup process is completed. The team lead studies the brief and matches the requirement with a qualified assistant who fits the specific time zone of the client.

The Trustburn rating is 4 out of 5 from 11 reviews, with the most recent feedback coming in October 2023. Reviewers frequently praise the assistants for being highly skilled, reliable, efficient, and proactive in their work.

Some reviewers on Trustburn mention that the assistants are friendly, professional, and efficient, while others note that the service has been a game-changer for managing tasks. The rating split shows a majority of 4 and 5-star ratings with a few 3-star reviews.

The company claims to be the world's leading Virtual Assistant service since 2005 and was featured in Tim Ferriss's book The 4-Hour Workweek. They aim to make an impactful difference by connecting talent across the globe to help clients gain or save time.

GetFriday serves clients in 80 odd countries and caters to diverse backgrounds including working professionals, entrepreneurs, and struggling artists. They operate round the clock to ensure that busy individuals and small businesses can handle their personal and business needs better.

The company provides a dedicated executive secretary service for founders and leadership teams, handling calendars, correspondence, travel, and confidential admin. They also offer research and analytics services to help clients make informed decisions based on collected data.

GetFriday encourages users to sign up for smaller plans to try out the service before settling for a monthly subscription. They also offer task-based plans for those unsure of the required credits, allowing them to purchase a small block at a specified rate.
