A Zirtual alternative for small businesses

Is Peachtree VA a good Zirtual alternative?

Peachtree VA is a good Zirtual alternative if you want one assistant to support more than one person. Zirtual publishes plans from 12 hours with set user counts and says it can match you in about a day. Peachtree VA starts at 25 hours a month, has no per-user limits, and adds personal assistant, bookkeeping and hiring support.

Both are U.S.-based and both avoid long-term contracts. The table above links each Zirtual detail to the page where we read it.

What does Zirtual cost compared with Peachtree VA?

Zirtual publishes monthly plans. In October 2026 its virtual assistant entry plan was $599 a month for 12 hours of task work with one user included. Larger plans add hours and users. Peachtree VA does not publish a VA rate. We quote after a free discovery call, on a fixed monthly package from 25 hours.

Zirtual says it cannot roll unused hours over. Peachtree VA hours do not roll over either, so both companies ask you to pick a plan close to your real workload. Read the virtual assistant cost guide for the factors that set U.S. VA prices.

Where is Zirtual stronger?

Zirtual is stronger on speed and published detail. Its site says it can match you with a professional in as little as 24 hours. It also publishes plan prices, promises two-hour response times and offers virtual paralegals and receptionists. Most Peachtree clients are matched in as little as 10 business days.

If you need help this week, or a receptionist or paralegal from the same company, Zirtual may fit better. Peachtree VA’s pages do not list legal or receptionist services.

Who is each company right for?

Choose Zirtual if you want a fast start, a published plan and a one-person account. Choose Peachtree VA if you want an assistant embedded in your business, shared across your team, with bookkeeping and full-time hiring available later. Peachtree VA matches by people on skill set, personality, culture and capacity.

Can more than one person on my team use my virtual assistant?

Yes. Peachtree VA does not cap how many people work with your assistant. Zirtual says team size affects plan pricing, and its plans include one to four users. In practice, an engagement that starts with one leader often grows into support for the people around them.

Katie Howard, Founder of KH Consulting, describes it:

“Peachtree’s matching process is amazing. It’s miraculous to me how perfect my virtual assistant is for who I am and what I was looking for. One of the things I first had her do that was so effective was to complete all the outlines for our grant proposals. She’s just built into our workflow and so everyone on our team is supported by her in that way, not just me.”

Jason Henderberg of Henderberg Business Solutions says working with his VA led him to document his own process, which improved the quality of his work for his clients. Read more on our client reviews page.

Does Peachtree VA handle personal tasks too?

Yes, in two ways. A dedicated virtual assistant can cover your calendar, inbox and client work alongside the personal logistics that spill into your workday. A dedicated personal assistant can look after the whole family. Your free delegation roadmap shows which of the two fits.

How do you switch from Zirtual to Peachtree VA?

Check your Zirtual plan first. Zirtual says a cancellation takes effect the following month. Then book a free discovery call, meet your match and hand over your tasks. Keep your Zirtual assistant until your new one is working so nothing is dropped.

1. Time your cancellation. Zirtual says cancellation goes into effect the following month and it does not prorate unused hours.
2. Book a free 30-minute discovery call. You leave with a delegation roadmap, whether or not you hire us. If we are not the right fit, we will point you toward someone who is.
3. Meet your match. Most clients meet their match within 10 business days.
4. Kick off. Share checklists and examples. A Relationship Specialist stays available, and our 100% Matching Guarantee has no expiration date.

What should you ask any company before you switch?

Ask Zirtual and any other provider the same questions, and write down the answers.

1. What is the smallest package, and what hours does it include?
2. What is in the monthly fee, and what costs extra?
3. How many people can use the assistant, and does that change the price?
4. Who picks the match, and what happens if it is wrong?
5. How do you handle sensitive access and confidentiality?

The answers will show you which provider fits your workload. Our guide on giving a virtual assistant access safely covers the access question in more detail.
