Our verdict
Virtalent is strongest on pricing transparency (9/10): All plans and hourly rates published; no setup fee. Its weakest area is replacement & guarantees (6/10): Replacement and satisfaction guarantee stated; no timing or conditions.
Strong fit for coaches; UK base may not suit every U.S. schedule.
What we like
- Published hourly plans from 10 hours a month, with rollover and no setup fee
- Says fewer than 2% of applicants are accepted, after an interview, third-party ID checks and references
- Client Success Coach and holiday cover included
What to watch
- UK-based VAs priced in GBP, so U.S. coaches should check time-zone overlap
- Replacement timing is not published
Pricing
£31/hr for 10 hours a month (£310) down to £27/hr for 100 hours (£2,700); prices in GBP; no setup fee.
Contract terms
- Minimum commitment
- Smallest plan is 10 hours a month; unused time rolls over to the next month.
- Trial or guarantee
- No free trial; you can meet your VA before signing up and pay for the first month to start.
- Replacement
- Your assistant 'can be replaced or adjusted if needed', backed by a satisfaction guarantee; holiday cover provided. Timing not published.
- Notice period
- Rolling monthly, no long-term contract; 7 days' notice before the billing date to change or cancel.
