Magic: what it costs

A full-time Virtual Assistant costs $9 per hour, and an Executive Assistant costs $13.50 per hour.

Magic bills every 4 weeks, not monthly. That adds up to 13 bills a year, so a full-time VA comes to about $18,700 a year.

There are no contracts, and you only pay once you've selected your assistant. See what Magic reviews say.

Note: Remote CoWorker starts at $7.99 per hour with everything included, and you can interview as many candidates as you like. Every hire comes with a 12-month replacement guarantee.

Magic fees and contract terms

Here's the fine print, from Magic's pricing page and what reviewers say.

Published prices
Yes. $9 per hour for a VA and $13.50 per hour for an EA, full-time.
Billing cycle
Every 4 weeks, which means 13 bills a year (our math). Weekly billing is available through sales.
When you start paying
Only once you've selected your assistant.
Contract
No contracts. Magic says you can cancel anytime.
Hidden fees
Magic says there are none. Still, billing comes up a lot in the low reviews, so check each invoice.
Part-time
Part-time plans are available, but their prices aren't listed on the pricing page.
What a year of Magic costs at published prices
Full-time VA: $1,440 per 4-week cycle × 13
≈ $18,700
Hourly equivalent (2,080 hours a year)
$9 / hr
Full-time EA: $2,160 per 4-week cycle × 13
≈ $28,100

Based on Magic's published prices. Because it bills every four weeks, you get 13 bills a year, not 12.
