Prialto is worth it if you have steady admin work and can't afford a week without coverage. Skip it if you're watching every dollar or your workload swings hard month to month. A Prialto virtual assistant is a fully [managed hire](/content/blog/how-to-hire-a-virtual-assistant/index.html): you get a trained assistant, an engagement manager, and **a backup team that picks up most of the load when your primary is out sick or on leave.** Plans open at [$1,600 a month](https://www.prialto.com/pricing) for roughly 55 hours, with coverage during business hours. ### What Is Prialto? Prialto is a managed virtual assistant service that pairs executives and teams with a trained VA and a support team behind them. It has operated this model for over a decade. The service rests on three things: the people who do your work, the process that keeps it consistent, and the security that protects your data. ### Virtual Assistant Capabilities Prialto virtual assistants take on any task that's repetitive and teachable, focusing on recurring administrative work. **In practice, the work falls into a handful of buckets:** - **Inbox and email.** Filtering your inbox and drafting routine replies. - **Calendar and scheduling.** Booking, rebooking, prepping agendas, and untangling meetings. - **Travel and expenses.** Trip planning and expense reports. - **CRM and data.** Record updates and data cleanup. - **Sales support.** Prospecting and lead research. - **Operations and light bookkeeping.** Workflow monitoring and reminders. Standard support runs 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday, across **U.S. and UK time zones**. ### Prialto Pricing: How the Units Work Prialto prices its services in units. **One unit costs $1,600 a month** and covers about 55 hours of support. | Service Level | Monthly Price (billed by unit) | Best For | |---------------------------|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------| | Fractional Dedicated | $1,600 per unit (55+ hrs) | A single executive who needs steady part-time help | | Full-Time Dedicated | From $3,600 total, 3+ units | Teams that need daily, embedded support | | Custom Enterprise | Custom, 10+ units | Departments and org-wide project resourcing | A couple of additional details include a $250 setup fee for the fractional plan, and the service requires a minimum commitment of 90 days per unit. ### Which Prialto Service Level Should You Choose? **Choose Fractional Dedicated if you:** - Are a solo executive or small-business owner buried in admin. - Want to test the model with around 55 hours of monthly work. **Choose Full-Time Dedicated if you:** - Need an assistant embedded in your business daily. - Run a team that uses up 55 hours by the second week of the month. **Choose Custom Enterprise if you:** - Need several assistants across departments or a company-wide rollout. ### Does Prialto Justify the Price? Prialto's backup team and engagement manager are designed to cover breaks and ensure continuity. If one week without your assistant would cost you more than a month of Prialto, the premium pays for itself. ### Prialto Reviews: What Users Say Prialto holds a 5.0 out of 5 on [Clutch](https://clutch.co/profile/prialto) and G2 as of September 2026. ### Pros - **The backup model removes downtime.** Clients appreciate the continuity. - **Assistants anticipate needs.** They learn patterns and start taking initiative. ### Cons - **Thin context can impact output.** Some users find results slip without full context. - **Reporting visibility needs improvement.** Users seek cleaner visuals on time distribution. ### Is Prialto Right for You?
