"Virtual assistant pricing" is one of the most-searched questions in this industry right now — for good reason. Most quotes online are wildly inflated compared to what an AI-augmented VA service actually costs in 2026.
The short answer
You can start for $0. The Forever Free plan includes 1 hour of expert VA service every month, no card required. Paid plans run $5.00–$5.50/hr depending on monthly hours — see the full plan breakdown.
Every plan includes rollover hours, a dedicated VA + team lead, and weekly reporting. No setup fees, cancel anytime.
Why it's cheaper than you'd expect
Every VA is AI-augmented — trained to use AI tools for research, drafting and data entry, then reviewed by a human team lead before delivery. That efficiency is what makes a dedicated executive assistant or bookkeeping VA viable at $5/hr instead of the $15–25/hr freelance-marketplace rates most guides quote.
Budgeting your first month
Try the Forever Free plan first, then move to Starter (40 hrs/month at $5.50/hr, roughly $220/month) once you know your real workload. That's far below the fully-loaded cost of even a part-time in-house hire — see the full cost comparison.
Unused hours roll over
Unlike most VA services that reset your hours monthly, every unused hour carries forward automatically — including on the Forever Free plan — so nothing you've paid for expires unused.
