With us, pay-as-you-go virtual assistant services start from $25 to $75 an hour, depending on the service. A full-time virtual assistant, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, is quoted up front. Google Ads management is a flat monthly fee, also quoted. There's no long-term contract on any of them.
What changes the hourly rate
- The type of work. Rates vary by service, from everyday admin work like data entry and calendar management to specialized marketing, design and web projects.
- How many hours you need. Pay-as-you-go bills only the hours you use. If you need someone every day, a full-time assistant is usually the better fit.
- How fast you need it. Simple tasks are often done within 24 to 48 hours. Rush requests may incur additional fees.
Pay-as-you-go or full-time?
Pay-as-you-go gives you a flexible assistant for up to 8 hours a day on the days you choose, billed by the hour. It suits a few hours a week, seasonal peaks and one-off projects.
A full-time assistant works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, dedicated to your business. It suits steady daily work; if you're handing off 30 or more hours a week, it's worth comparing. It's quoted up front based on what you need.
What you don't pay for
A virtual assistant saves the costs that come with a new hire: recruiting, training, equipment and office space. You pay for the work, and you can scale up, scale down or stop when your needs change.
How to estimate your cost
- List the tasks you want to hand off, and how many hours each takes in a typical week.
- Add up the hours. Our hours calculator does it for you and suggests the plan that fits.
- Ask for a quote. We confirm the plan and rate after a free consultation, before any work starts.
What about Google Ads management?
Google Ads management works differently: a flat monthly management fee, quoted up front after a free consultation. Your ad budget stays separate from our fee. See flat fee vs. percentage of ad spend for how that compares to other pricing models.
