OnlineJobs.ph is free and takes no cut of your pay. It also accepts Philippine nationals only, and most of its employers are in the US, UK or Australia, so the hours follow theirs. Here's what each alternative does differently, from its own pages.
Published by DayShift, the job site of Catalyst Outsourcing, which is one of the options below. Checked 6 October 2026.
Want another job board? JobStreet and Kalibrr list Philippine employers, Indeed pulls in jobs from other sites too, and VirtualStaff.ph shows a peso rate on every card. Want an agency to handle the client? Remote Staff and 20four7VA contract you themselves. In Malaysia? 20four7VA takes applications from across Southeast Asia, and DayShift lists roles for people based there.

| JobStreet | Philippine employers rather than overseas ones[4] | Free; never asks for upfront payment[5] | Often: 7 of the first 9 remote VA results[6] | Set per listing; day and night shift both appear[6] |
| Indeed | Also gathers jobs from other sites[7] | Free to search, apply and interview[7] | Sometimes, when the employer states it[8] | Set per listing |

OnlineJobs.ph is free, takes no cut of your pay, and the employer pays you directly. Its limits are who can join and whose hours you keep: it accepts Philippine nationals only, and most of its employers are in the US, UK or Australia.
A job board leaves the deal to you and the employer, the way OnlineJobs.ph does. JobStreet, Kalibrr and Indeed work like that. VirtualStaff.ph adds one step: your salary is paid through the platform.
An agency such as Remote Staff or 20four7VA contracts you itself and places you with a client. You deal with the agency on pay and with the client on the work.
DayShift is ours, so weigh this part accordingly. Its clients are in Singapore and the region on GMT+8, every listing shows its pay, and applying is free. It's small: about 30 open roles on the day this was written.
OnlineJobs.ph accepts Philippine nationals only. 20four7VA takes applications from across Southeast Asia, and DayShift lists roles for people based in Malaysia.
VirtualStaff.ph shows a monthly peso rate on every card, and DayShift shows the pay on every listing. JobStreet often does; on Kalibrr many cards don't.
None of them charge you to apply. Upwork keeps 0% to 15% of each contract and charges for the Connects you bid with.
