Zirtual

Zirtual has been around since 2011 and offers US-based, college-educated virtual assistants on a managed model. They position themselves as the accessible option for professionals who want domestic support without paying premium executive rates.

Plans range from $549 per month for 12 hours to $1,249 for 36 hours. There is no setup fee, and you can upgrade or downgrade month to month. Every plan includes a dedicated assistant who learns your preferences over time.

The assistants work standard business hours (9am to 6pm ET or PT), which is fine for most professionals but limiting if you need evening or weekend coverage. Hours do not roll over, so you lose what you do not use each month.

Zirtual sits in a comfortable middle ground: more affordable than Boldly or Delegated, more structured than a freelance hire, and US-based unlike the budget offshore options. It works well for solopreneurs and small business owners who need 10 to 30 hours of reliable monthly support.
