Pricing Plans
Our retainer packages are based on a minimum commitment of hours each month. By committing to a regular amount of hours each month, you will be paired one-on-one with a dedicated, U.S.-based Virtual Assistant on our team.
- Starter Package: 20 Hours (~5hrs/week)
Starting: $800/month
- Basic Package: 40 Hours (~10hrs/week)
- Plus Package: 60 Hours (~15hrs/week)
- Pro Package: 80 Hours (~20hrs/week)
Retainer packages are best for clients who have a regular need for a virtual assistant, but don’t want the expense of hiring a full-time employee.
Hours used during the previous month are billed on the first of each month. Since we set aside our time to honor your committed hours, we bill any unused hours to reach your commitment.
The more hours you commit to, the lower your hourly rate is!
