Which virtual assistant monthly plan fits you
- Under 5 hours a month: a 3-hour block or pay-as-you-go. Good for inbox help, a few bookings or a small bookkeeping batch.
- 6 to 15 hours: a 6 or 12-hour block. Good for weekly admin, calendar care and light data entry.
- 36 to 60 hours: a 36 or 60-hour block. Good for steady support across email, bookkeeping and customer chat.
- 80 hours: a part-time virtual assistant. Good for one person who owns a set of daily jobs.
- 160 hours: a full-time virtual assistant at the lowest rate. Good when work fills the whole month.
Why unused hours roll over matters
Most owners cannot predict their hours in month one. Because unused hours roll over while your account is active, a slow month does not waste money. You can start with a smaller plan, learn how much work you hand off, and then choose the plan with the lowest price per hour. The one-dollar plan for new registrations adds one hour each month if you only want to test the service.
How to pick a plan in three steps
- List your repeat jobs and note the minutes each takes. The task brief templates help.
- Add the minutes and divide by 60 to get your hours per month.
- Match that number to the table above, or run it through the cost calculator.
Compare the total with the cost of staff using the VA vs employee calculator. For the price of a single job, read virtual assistant cost per task.
What is not included in the plans
Plans pay for assistant time and a team lead review of every task. They do not cover software subscriptions, ad budgets, or tax and legal advice. Bookkeeping help is record keeping, not accounting advice. Our team works from Kerala, India, and serves clients in the US, UK, Canada, UAE, Australia and New Zealand, plus Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
