Every plan is a monthly management fee that covers your manager's time and expertise; nothing else. Not sure which plan fits your household? Take the quiz →
Most households have the basics covered: a cleaner, someone for the lawn, a few numbers they call when something needs fixing. What they don't have is anyone keeping an eye on it all, staying ahead of what's due, and making sure the work actually gets done right. Without that, maintenance gets missed and problems land on your plate at the wrong moment. Your Helm manager knows your home, knows who to trust with it, and owns the outcome. Your household stays in good shape without you ever having to think about it.
Watch is the right plan if your household is relatively straightforward and your main need is oversight and accountability, not active project management or hiring.
Hiring the right housekeeper takes weeks of vetting you don't have time for. A renovation needs someone driving it daily or it stalls. A nanny whose performance is slipping needs a conversation you'd rather not have. The coordination is consuming time you don't have, and the decisions keep landing on you at the worst moments.
Your Helm manager takes it on entirely. They find and vet the right people, manage the work from start to finish, and make the day-to-day decisions on your behalf. You stay informed about what matters. Everything else is handled.
Steward is the right plan if your household has active needs that require someone to drive them forward and see them through, one at a time, as they come up. Pricing reflects the scope of that active work and the complexity of your household.
At some point a household becomes genuinely complex to run. Not because any one thing is hard, but because the people, the projects, and the ongoing decisions have accumulated to the point where it requires someone dedicated to running it properly. Your Helm manager doesn't just handle individual tasks. They run your household as an operation, making the strategic calls, coordinating everything that's moving, and making sure it all works without you ever being the one holding it together.
Estate is the right plan if your household has reached a level of complexity where managing it has become a job in itself. Pricing reflects the operational complexity of your household and the breadth of what needs to run simultaneously.
Estate Dedicated provides the same scope and expertise as Estate, with one difference: your Helm manager works exclusively on your household. No shared portfolio. Their full attention, every day, on your property and your standards.
Over time that exclusivity becomes something more valuable than management. Your manager learns how your home works, what it needs before you know it needs it, and what your preferences are without having to ask. That depth of knowledge only comes from someone genuinely dedicated to one household.
Pricing is based on the scope and complexity of your household and the seniority your engagement requires. We discuss what that looks like during the consultation.
For most households, the alternative to Helm is hiring someone directly or doing it yourself. Either way, the mental load of knowing what needs doing, following up, and making decisions stays with you.
Helm costs less, requires no employment overhead, and your home manual is yours forever.
| Plan | Helm cost | What you get with Helm | Alternative | Alternative cost | What you get with the alternative |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Watch | $700/mo | Oversight, accountability, proactive maintenance | Personal assistant (part-time) | ~$3,500/mo | Reactive task help. No expertise, no vendor network, mental load stays with you. |
| Steward | $2,500–$4,500/mo | Active management of sequential needs: hiring, projects, and staff driven to completion | Part-time estate manager (doesn't exist) | ~$4,250/mo if it did | The role doesn't exist. You'd be creating it from scratch: job description, hiring, onboarding, and then managing someone into it. |
| Estate | $5,000–$7,000/mo | Strategic operations, proactive planning, full household coordination | Estate manager (FTE) | ~$8,500/mo | You become an employer: recruiting, onboarding, managing performance. If they leave, you start over. |
| Estate Dedicated | $10,000+/mo | Exclusive full-time manager dedicated solely to your household | Estate manager (FTE) | ~$8,500/mo | You become an employer: recruiting, onboarding, managing performance. If they leave, you start over. |
