Looking for a better VA service? We've compared MyRemote VA against Virtalent and 90+ other platforms — covering price, support, flexibility, and what actually matters when hiring remote help.
Platform Reliability
Downtime is not just inconvenient — it breaks your VA's workflow and your trust in the tool.
MyRemote VA clients who came from Virtalent consistently report that their first week felt different from anything they'd experienced with a VA service before. Not because of any single feature — but because of the cumulative effect of immediate assignment, a VA who actually sticks around, and hours that don't quietly disappear.
The Real Difference
Every feature above has a story. Here's the honest version of each one.
The Door Is Always Open. Most VA services make leaving feel final — your account closes, your hours disappear, your VA relationship ends. MyRemote VA makes leaving feel optional. The Forever Free plan keeps everything intact for $2 a month, which means coming back is as easy as upgrading your plan. We're not trying to make the exit hard. We're trying to make the return easy.
Most VA services make you wait. With MyRemote VA, the moment you register you can create your first task — and a dedicated VA is assigned right away. No intake call, no waiting period, no back-and-forth before anything actually gets done. Your first task can be in progress the same day you sign up.
Our Forever Free plan isn't a trial — it's a safety net. For just $2/month (an abuse-protection and platform access fee), you stay active on the platform, keep your dedicated VA relationship, and receive 1 free hour every month. Most importantly, it keeps all your rolled-over hours safe even when you don't need to use them. Think of it as insurance for your business support.
With most VA services, a slow month means wasted money — unused hours simply disappear at the end of the billing cycle. Every unused hour on MyRemote VA rolls over automatically, on every plan including the Forever Free tier. Had a quiet quarter? Your accumulated hours are sitting there waiting for you whenever you need them, as long as your account stays active.
Consistency is everything when someone is representing you. With a dedicated VA, you never re-explain your preferences, re-send your brand voice doc, or re-train someone on your tools. Your VA remembers what you hate, what you love, and how you work — because they've been doing it alongside you the whole time.
We're confident enough in our matching process to back it with a real guarantee. If your VA isn't the right fit in the first 14 days, we'll rematch you with someone better — or give you your money back. No awkward conversations, no "we'll see what we can do." Just accountability.

Real feedback from business owners who made the switch.
The Proof Is in the Process. Anyone can write a comparison page. What makes MyRemote VA different from Virtalent isn't the claims — it's the structure. Immediate task assignment, rollover hours, a supervisor managing quality, and a $2 plan that keeps everything intact during slow periods. These aren't talking points. They're the actual product. Register once and the whole system becomes obvious in your first session. Don't take our word for it — try it for $2.
