How do you choose between these companies?
Decide the type of provider first, then compare on the same criteria. Our guide on how to choose a virtual assistant company gives ten criteria, a scorecard and a seven-step process.
Which ten questions should you ask every company?
Ask for the answers in writing.
- What is the price for my exact task list and weekly hours?
- Is there an onboarding or set-up fee?
- Is there a minimum term, and how much notice do I give?
- Who manages my assistant, and how often will I get updates?
- What happens if the assistant is not the right fit?
- Where are the assistants based, and what hours do they cover?
- Does the assistant use AI tools, and does a person check the work?
- How are my accounts and personal details protected?
- How fast can work start?
- Can I see a sample report?
How do you test a company before you commit?
Give each company on your shortlist the same three to five real tasks for one week, such as sorting the inbox, updating the CRM and building a lead list. Write what a good result looks like first. Compare accuracy, speed, communication and how much you had to correct. Our first week checklist shows how.
How do you compare prices when most are not published?
Ask each company for a written quote for the same task list and weekly hours, then divide each quote by the working hours it covers to get a cost per hour. Check what is included, such as management, onboarding and reporting. See what a virtual assistant costs.
What about AI and data?
Ask which AI tools assistants use, what information goes into them and whether a person checks every draft. See AI-augmented vs traditional assistants and keeping data safe.
Where can you read more?
Our comparison guides apply these questions to specific providers: GetMagic pricing, Wing Assistant task test, BELAY management, Zirtual switching, Time etc hours and Prialto onboarding.
Common questions
