WorkWise PH and WorkBase PH both let an employer hire someone in the Philippines and pay that person directly. The subscription and the done-for-you fees are not the same. Figures for WorkWise PH are from workwise.ph/pricing, as of Oct 2026. WorkBase PH figures are this site’s published prices.
| Item | WorkBase PH | WorkWise PH |
|---|---|---|
| Free start | Creating an account is free. Publishing a job is $29 one-time. | Free plan at $0: the pricing page describes browsing ID-verified profiles, 2 one-time job posts, and a review of posts within 48 hours. Messaging is on the paid plan. |
| Hire it yourself, paid | $29 one-time per post, live 30 days. Messaging, profiles and contact details are included. No monthly fee. | WorkWise+ is $49 a month on the Early Bird price, regularly $99 a month. The page says the Early Bird price stays while the subscription stays active. It includes tools to post, message and track candidates, and Workspace Hub for hires you already have. |
| They run the search | Direct Hire from $490, one-time, part-time or full-time. Quote on screen after a short form. Not a percentage of pay. | Concierge is $950 once per role on the pricing page. The same page says you pay your hire directly. |
| After you have hired | On Direct Hire you pay the person yourself. Managed Hire is optional and priced by role. | Workspace Hub can be kept on its own at $29 a month Early Bird, regularly $59, for up to 3 hires, then $15 a month each. Extra job posts on WorkWise+ are $15 each. |
| If the hire does not work out | Direct Hire includes a free replacement within the first 30 days. | The pricing page lists a 90-day fit guarantee on Concierge, or they re-source at no extra recruiting fee. That guarantee is described for Concierge, not for the Free or WorkWise+ plans. |
| Wage markup | No percentage of wages on a $29 post or Direct Hire. | The pricing page says WorkWise does not take a cut of the person’s pay. |
WorkWise also publishes its own hourly ranges for Filipino VAs on its hire pages. Those are WorkWise’s ranges, not WorkBase PH’s salary guide. Use our salary guide for WorkBase PH’s bands.
WorkBase PH’s $29 post fits an employer who wants one role live for 30 days without a monthly hiring subscription. Done-For-You fits someone who wants a search from $490 and is hiring a straightforward role on a short timeline.
WorkWise+ fits someone who wants a monthly toolkit, including messaging limits and a hub for people they already pay, at the Early Bird price they publish. Concierge fits someone who wants WorkWise to run the search for a flat $950 and who wants the 90-day guarantee written on that plan. Neither monthly price is “better” without counting how many roles you open.
