MyOutDesk is one of the larger virtual assistant companies, focusing on full-time placements with a managed service layer on top. Pricing is straightforward: $1,988 per month for month-to-month, $1,848 on a six-month commitment, or $1,788 on an annual plan. That gets you a full-time, 40-hour-per-week assistant.
Assistants are primarily based in the Philippines. MyOutDesk runs what they describe as FBI-grade background checks on all candidates, which is a marketing claim but does indicate a structured vetting process. You also get a dedicated success manager who handles any issues or rematch needs.
The full-time-only model is the main limitation. If you need 15 or 20 hours per month, MyOutDesk is not the right fit. But if you have enough work for a full-time assistant and want the cost savings of offshore talent with the reliability of a managed provider, the value proposition is strong. The price-per-hour works out to roughly $12, which is among the lowest on this list for a managed service.
