A managed virtual assistant, without the hiring headache.
Wing places virtual assistants (VAs) on month-to-month plans. Here is who it suits, who should look elsewhere, what it costs, and how to start without wasting the first month.
Last checked 17 October 2026 against the vendor’s website. General information, not professional advice.
Use it if
- You are a founder or small team losing hours to repeatable admin, inbox, scheduling or data entry
- You want a managed service with someone supervising the VA, not a freelancer you manage alone
- You prefer month-to-month plans to a fixed contract
- You can write down what a good week of that work looks like
Skip it if
- You need a specialist or senior hire (finance lead, developer, strategist)
- You need someone on site or in a specific local time zone every day
- Your budget is below the part-time plan (about $699 a month)
- You have no processes yet: a VA needs tasks you can describe
A ThriveOnz team member has used Fiverr for admin help and is moving to Wing Assistant. We have not used Wing yet, so this page comes from Wing’s own pages. We will add our own notes after we have.
What Wing says you get

Can you trust a managed VA service?
- Managed, not marketplace: Wing positions itself as managed, with supervision and a customer success manager included. Ask exactly who supervises and how often.
- Test before you scale: because plans are month-to-month, start part-time and judge the first four weeks on output, not promises.
- Protect your data: give the VA access only to the tools they need, use a password manager and shared inboxes, and keep your own records.
A first month that works
- Write down 5 to 10 repeatable tasks and what ‘done’ looks like for each.
- Book Wing’s intro call and ask who your supervisor and customer success contact will be.
- Start on the part-time plan unless you already have a full week of work.
- Record short screen videos of each task so the VA can follow them.
- Hold a 20-minute review at the end of week one and week four, then decide to scale, hold or stop.
Mistakes to avoid
- Delegating vague jobs like ‘help with marketing’
- Sharing your main password instead of using proper shared access
- Skipping the weekly review, so small problems repeat for a month
- Hiring full-time before you have proven the part-time workload
FAQs
Do I have to sign a long contract?
Wing describes its plans as flexible and month-to-month. Confirm the cancellation terms in writing before you pay.
What can a VA actually do?
Typically admin, scheduling, inbox management, data entry, research and customer support. Specialist work is better with a specialist.
Is it cheaper than hiring in the UK?
It can be for routine tasks, but compare the full cost of your time, tools and oversight, not just the monthly price.
