Part Time or Full Time VA: How to Pick the Right Plan

    By KeenlyVAs Team · 2026-10-03

    Most owners starting with a virtual assistant make the same mistake: they buy more hours than their delegation habit can fill. The part time plan exists for exactly that reason.

    Here is how to pick between the two KeenlyVAs plans without guessing.

    What the Part Time Plan Covers

    The part time plan costs $899 a month for up to 20 hours a week. That is enough for the core workload that eats owner time: inbox management, scheduling, data entry, a few recurring workflows, and follow-ups.

    It is also the right place to build the habit. Delegation is a skill, and the first month is spent documenting how you like things done. Twenty hours a week is plenty of room to learn that.

    What the Full Time Plan Covers

    The full time plan costs $1,599 a month for up to 40 hours a week. It suits businesses that already have a full time backlog: daily operations, project support, follow-up sequences, and same-day coverage across the business day.

    The tell is simple. If you can write down more than 20 hours of delegable work today, start full time. If you have to think hard to fill 20, start part time.

    When to Upgrade

    Upgrading is a non-event. Plans are month to month, and switching up or down has no penalty. Most clients start part time, clear their backlog, and upgrade the month the task list outgrows the hours.

    Which Plan Should You Choose?

    Start part time unless you already have a full time backlog. The $899 plan clears the queue, proves the habit, and leaves room to scale. The $1,599 plan is for when you know the workload already fills 40 hours a week, or when you need coverage across the whole day.

    Either way, you are never locked in, and you can change plans as the work changes.
