A dedicated remote receptionist fits most practices — but not every situation.
- You need someone physically at the desk — greeting walk-ins and handling paperwork requires an on-site presence.
- Call volume is a few calls a day — an answering service or shared VA may be more economical.
- You need clinical triage — that's a nursing function; receptionists route, they don't advise.

Why our rates are lower — and sustainable.
It isn't a discount or a race to the bottom. The gap is a structural macroeconomic one — and our specialists earn competitive local wages while you pay a fraction.
Wage arbitrage
The same skill is priced very differently by geography. We recruit from India's deep talent pool and place specialists with businesses globally — so you get the skill without the highest-wage market's price tag.
Currency + cost of living
Nominal FX is ~₹95.5/$ — but in purchasing-power terms $1 buys only ~₹22 of goods in India. That ~4× gap is structural and permanent, not a discount that erodes.
Eliminated overhead
No US benefits load (~30%), office, equipment, software seats, or recruiting fees (15–25% of first-year pay). One transparent rate absorbs the lot.
| Role | US in-house* | Zedtreeo | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Software developer | ~$85/hr | $8–$10/hr | ~88% |
| Digital marketer | ~$42/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~83% |
| Bookkeeper / accountant | ~$32/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~78% |
| Medical biller / RCM | ~$32/hr | $6–$8/hr | ~78% |
| Virtual assistant / admin | ~$30/hr | $5–$6/hr | ~82% |
| Customer support | ~$26/hr | $5–$6/hr | ~79% |
| Architectural drafter* | ~$50/hr | $18/hr | ~55% |
*US figures = BLS (May 2024) median wage plus ~30–35% benefits & overhead, per hour. Architectural drafting is a specialized production tier priced above the $5–10 base, so its savings run lower. Most roles save 70–90% versus comparable local hires.
Where the savings actually come from
A dollar trades at ~₹95 — but inside India it buys what ~₹22 buys here. That ~4× gap between the exchange rate and real cost of living is the engine, not a discount— and it's only widened for a decade. Our specialists earn a strong wage for their market; you pay less because of the currency gap and eliminated overhead, never because anyone's underpaid or the work is cut-rate.
And the spread stays thin
Other providers' published plans work out to $12–15/hr for comparable roles. We price lower because we keep a thin margin — more of your fee reaches your specialist's salary. It's part of why 94% of specialists stay, and every one of them clears the Zedtreeo 6-Stage Standard before you ever see a profile. See the public math: where your outsourcing dollar actually goes →
