A dedicated virtual assistant works your hours on your tasks every month. The full-time plan is 160 hours for $899, or $5.62 an hour. Part-time is 80 hours for $500. A team lead reviews every task. Choose it when you have steady work that fills a month, and start with a small plan if you are unsure.
A dedicated virtual assistant is a person who works your hours on your tasks, month after month. You stop re-explaining the job each time. This guide shows what a dedicated virtual assistant costs, what to hand off, and a 30-day plan to start. All prices are in US dollars. It is general information, not tax or legal advice.
Dedicated virtual assistant plans and prices
| Plan | Hours a month | Price | Per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time virtual assistant | 160 | $899 | $5.62 |
| Part-time virtual assistant | 80 | $500 | $6.25 |
| Quarterly pack | 90 hours | $630 every 3 months | $7.00 |
Unused hours roll over while your account is active. A team lead reviews every task. See the pricing page for every plan.
Who a dedicated virtual assistant fits
- Agencies and studios: project updates, inbox, scheduling and client reports.
- Real estate teams and property managers: listings, owner statements and follow-ups.
- Accounting and bookkeeping firms: document chasing and data entry.
- Online stores: listings, orders and customer messages.
- Founders: inbox, calendar, research and admin.
It fits when you have steady, repeat work. It does not fit when work comes once or twice a month. Then a small block or pay-as-you-go is cheaper.
What to hand a dedicated virtual assistant
| Area | Example tasks |
|---|---|
| Inbox and calendar | Sort email, book meetings across time zones |
| Customer support | Answer email and chat from your notes |
| Bookkeeping support | Enter invoices, code bank lines, send a monthly report |
| Research | Build lead lists, compare suppliers |
| Web upkeep | Update pages, plugins and listings |
| Reporting | Weekly summary of work done and hours used |
The work is non-calling. A virtual assistant does not give legal, tax or medical advice. Bookkeeping help is record keeping, not accounting advice.
A 30-day plan to start with a dedicated virtual assistant
- Week 1: list your repeat jobs and time them. Write one brief for each. The task brief guide helps.
- Week 2: hand off the three jobs that take the most time. Review each result.
- Week 3: add two more jobs. Save your feedback as a checklist.
- Week 4: check hours used in the portal and decide whether to move to a larger plan.
Dedicated virtual assistant or an employee?
An employee costs salary plus extra costs, and a day off leaves a gap. A dedicated virtual assistant is a monthly plan with a standby assistant for absences. Compare your own numbers with the VA vs employee calculator. A full-time virtual assistant at $899 for 160 hours is a clear starting figure.
How to hire a virtual assistant without risk
Start small, and test with real work. Use a 3-hour block at $33 or pay as you go at $12 an hour. New registrations can start on a $1 monthly plan that adds one hour each month. Move to a full-time plan when the work fills the month. Our team works from Kerala, India, in English, and plans shifts around your day in the US, UK, Canada, UAE, Australia or New Zealand, plus Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
How many hours per month do you need?
List your repeat jobs and note the minutes each one takes. Add them up, then divide by 60. The result is your hours per month. If it is under 30, a block or pay-as-you-go is usually cheaper. If it is near 80, choose the part-time plan. If it is near 160, choose the full-time plan at the lowest rate. The cost calculator does the sum for you and picks the cheapest option.
Do not guess high. Start with a plan below your estimate, watch the portal for two weeks, and then move up. Hours you do not use roll over while your account is active, so nothing is wasted. Keep notes on what takes longer than planned. Those notes make the next month faster and cheaper.
