Wing Assistant charges $699–$999/month for part-time and full-time general virtual assistants, with specialist roles starting from $799–$1,299/month. We break down Wing's 2026 pricing, compare it with Wishup's dedicated daily plans, and show why automation-expert VAs change the value equation.
Wing Assistant Pricing: A Quick Breakdown
Wing Assistant is a managed virtual assistant service headquartered in Berkeley, California, that places dedicated offshore and US-based assistants on monthly subscription plans. According to its published pricing page (June 2026), the core General Virtual Assistant (GVA) plans are:
| Plan | Monthly Price | Hours Included | Effective Hourly Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| GVA Part-Time | $699/month | 80 hours/month (4 hrs/day) | ~$8.74/hour |
| GVA Full-Time | $999/month | 160 hours/month (8 hrs/day) | ~$6.24/hour |
Both plans include a dedicated virtual assistant, free replacement, a Customer Success Manager, quality control and supervision, the Wing Workspace App, timezone flexibility, and the ability to share the assistant with colleagues. The full-time plan (advertised at 16% savings) adds unlimited file sharing and storage, while the part-time plan caps storage at 10 GB.
Beyond general VAs, Wing prices specialist roles separately. Per its enterprise pricing section:
| Wing Role | Starting Price |
|---|---|
| General Virtual Assistant | $699/month |
| Personal Assistant | $799/month |
| Bookkeeping Assistant | $899/month |
| Content Moderator | $899/month |
| Sales Development Rep | $1,199/month |
| Executive Assistant | $1,299/month |
For larger organizations, Wing's Enterprise tier offers custom roles and pricing on consultation, Master Service Agreements, company-issued devices, custom vetting, end-to-end teams, and a dedicated Client Success Manager. Wing also highlights SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliance.
Wing's pricing is a low-cost, flat-rate subscription model — well suited to businesses that want predictable monthly billing and dedicated daily coverage at the lowest possible price point.
Wing Assistant vs. Wishup: Pricing Compared
Wishup uses the same structural model as Wing: a dedicated assistant working for you every business day on a 4-hours/day or 8-hours/day schedule but positions itself at a different point on the price-to-expertise curve. As listed on Wishup's official pricing page (June 2026):
| Wishup Plan | Starting Price | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Prime VA | $1,999/month | Dedicated VA, 3+ years' experience, trained in 150+ AI & no-code tools |
| Elite VA | $2,999/month | 5+ years' cross-industry experience, trained in 200+ automation workflows, backup VA |
| AI & Automation Expert | $2,999/month | Specialist who builds and maintains AI/automation workflows |
| US-based VA | $5,400/month | Native English speaker, US time zone, verified US background checks |
The key structural difference between Wishup and Wing's pricing
On paper, Wing is the affordable service: a full-time Wing GVA at $999/month costs roughly half of Wishup's entry-level Prime VA at $1,999/month for a 4-hour daily schedule. Both companies offer dedicated assistants, free replacement, account management, timezone alignment, and month-to-month flexibility.
- Wing's model is optimized for cost: generalist assistants at the lowest sustainable price, supervised through its Workspace App and Team Captain structure.
- Wishup's model is optimized for talent density and automation capability: a smaller, more selectively hired pool (top 0.1% of applicants), 8 weeks of pre-assignment training, and AI-tool fluency built into every plan as standard. The right choice depends on your workload:
Need dedicated daily support at the lowest monthly cost, for routine, well-defined tasks? Wing's $699–$999 GVA plans fit well.
Need a skilled assistant who can run AI tools, build automations, and operate with more autonomy? Wishup's subscription model is built for that.
Wishup Features & USPs
Per Wishup's published plan details, here's what's included:
- 60-minute onboarding — Wishup matches and onboards a pre-vetted assistant within an hour, versus the multi-day matching process typical across the industry.
- Pre-vetted, pre-trained talent — Wishup accepts only the top 0.1% of applicants and puts assistants through 8 weeks of hands-on training before client assignment.
- AI-tool fluency as standard — every Prime VA at Wishup is trained in 120+ AI, automation, and no-code tools; Elite VAs are trained in 200+ automation workflows and business tasks.
- Dedicated VA manager and account manager — a backend team monitors quality and continuity, so you're never dependent on a single point of contact.
- Free replacement and backup coverage — instant, no-cost VA replacement; Elite plans include a backup VA when your primary is absent.
- Flexible engagement — month-to-month billing, no hidden charges, upgrade/downgrade anytime, cancel anytime, with annual-billing discounts available.
- Works in your time zone — assistants align to US business hours (9am–6pm), regardless of where they're based.
- Security and accountability — NDAs, a data processing agreement, activity monitoring via Time Doctor, and the Wishup app for task assignment and EOD reporting.
- Bundled extras — current promotions include a free bookkeeper ($500 value) plus business tools ($500 value) such as Apploye and Pipedrive.
- Specialist verticals — beyond general VAs: bookkeepers (from $300/month managed, $1,799/month dedicated), executive assistants, and industry-specific VAs for legal, healthcare, real estate, eCommerce, and startups.
The Key Differentiator Between Wishup and Wing: Automation Expert VAs
This is where Wishup stands apart from traditional task-based VA services. Wishup's AI & Automation Expert VAs (from $2,999/month) are workflow builders. According to Wishup's plan specifications, these specialists handle:
- 200+ AI and automation tools, including Zapier, n8n, HubSpot, and Airtable
- End-to-end API integrations connecting your business systems
- AI model deployment and prompt engineering
- Automated agents and workflows that keep working after the VA logs off
- Automated reporting and dashboard setup for real-time business visibility
The practical difference: a traditional VA saves you the hours they personally work. An automation expert VA compounds that saving. Every workflow built by an AI-fluent Wishup automation-expert virtual assistant keeps eliminating manual work, month after month, beyond the hours on the invoice.
Wing Assistant or Wishup?
Wing Assistant offers one of the most affordable dedicated-VA models on the market, with general assistants from $699/month, a structured supervision layer, and enterprise-grade compliance options. Wishup offers dedicated, daily, AI-trained support from $1,999/month with automation expertise that can multiply the value of every hour you pay for.
