Hourly virtual assistant plans in California give you predictable, per-hour pricing on a dedicated assistant — without the unpredictability of pooled or marketplace VAs.
You buy a block of hours per week or per month. Onboarding, training, account management, and replacement coverage are bundled into the rate.
Hourly is the right starting point if you're not yet sure how many hours per week you'll use. You can scale up to a fixed weekly schedule once you see the demand pattern.
Per-hour pricing with no setup or training fees Dedicated assistant — not a marketplace or pool Bundled account management and replacements Easy upgrade to fixed weekly hours when ready

Bursts are usually accommodated within the same VA's capacity. Larger spikes get a temporary backup VA at the same hourly rate.
Standard weekend hours are billed at the same rate as weekday hours within the assigned plan.
