LATAM bilingual virtual assistant market rates: the Q2 2026 verified report.
Most published numbers about virtual assistant rates are recycled estimates citing other estimates. This report takes the opposite approach: every price in it was read on the provider's own first-party page on a recorded fetch date, and where a provider publishes no price, the report says so instead of guessing. The headline finding is the transparency gap itself: only 7 of the 12 providers assessed publish pricing at all. The verified rates, the methodology, and the public wage anchors are below.

Five findings, each one citable as written.
01 · The transparency gap
Only 7 of the 12 bilingual virtual assistant providers assessed publish pricing on their own websites; the other 5 (42%) require a sales call before a buyer sees a number (Assistiq LATAM Bilingual VA Market Rate Report, Q2 2026).
02 · The bilingual premium
At the largest managed VA agency in the dataset, adding bilingual Spanish and English capability doubles the published price: $999 a month for a standard full-time assistant vs $1,999 a month for the bilingual service at Wing (verified June 2026).
03 · The verified LATAM band
Published full-time rates in the LATAM tier run from $1,120 a month (Sagan, published starting rate) to $4,400 a month (top of Virtual Latinos published experience band), verified June 2026.
04 · The US wage anchor
US employers pay $20 to $52 an hour for in-house bilingual virtual assistant work (ZipRecruiter, June 2026), roughly $3,500 to $9,000 a month at full-time hours before employer load.
05 · The replacement-terms gap
None of the 11 third-party providers assessed publishes a replacement speed; the strongest published replacement terms are coverage windows of 90 and 120 days, which state how long a buyer is protected, not how fast a replacement arrives.
Published rates, one source standard for every row.
Every price in the table below was read on the provider's own first-party page on June 10, 2026 and is reported exactly as published, range pricing included. Providers that publish no pricing appear in a second table underneath, listed as not published rather than estimated. Third-party figures appear nowhere on this page.
Disclosure: Assistiq publishes this report and appears in the table below. Its row uses the same verification standard as every other row and carries no special treatment.

Pricing not published
Five frequently shortlisted providers publish no tier pricing on their own websites. They are part of the assessed set and part of the transparency-gap calculation in the next section.

This table reports the market. If you are comparing providers for a purchase, the Spanish-speaking virtual assistant cost guide is the buyer's companion: what these models cost to actually run, hidden costs included.
5 of 12 providers publish no price at all.
42% of the assessed set · Q2 2026
Of the 12 providers assessed in this edition, 7 publish pricing on their own websites and 5 do not. That is a 42% transparency gap in a category where the product is a recurring monthly fee. Excluding Assistiq, which publishes both this report and its own pricing, the split is 6 of 11, or 55% publishing.
The practical consequence for buyers: a comparison built from public data alone cannot include nearly half the market. The number a quote-gated provider eventually offers is shaped by the sales conversation that produces it; published and quoted prices are structurally different kinds of data, and this report only publishes the first kind.
The gap extends past the rate to the terms. Where replacement commitments are published at all, most are a free replacement with no timeframe. The strongest published terms in the dataset are coverage windows, 90 days at HireLATAM and 120 days on South's headhunting model. A window states how long you are protected. None of the 11 third-party providers assessed publishes how fast a replacement arrives, which is the number that matters when a hire goes offline mid-quarter.
$999 vs $1,999. What Spanish adds to a published rate.
The cleanest bilingual pricing signal in the dataset comes from Wing, which publishes both sides of the comparison on its own pages: a standard full-time virtual assistant at $999 a month and the bilingual Spanish and English full-time service at $1,999 a month. Same agency, same management model, 2x the price (verified June 2026).
The rest of the market prices bilingual in three other ways. MyOutDesk lists bilingual Spanish as available on its pricing page without a separate published price; archived snapshots date that claim's appearance to between October 2025 and June 2026, making it the newest bilingual claim in the dataset. Back Office Betties publishes bilingual at no added charge inside its US-based plans. And the LATAM tier prices bilingual as the default rather than a premium, because Spanish is the operator's first language: Virtual Latinos publishes English and Spanish as core across its $1,600 to $4,400 range.
Read together, the premium is a function of the labor pool, not of the work. Where native Spanish is scarce, it is sold as a surcharge. Where it is the default, it is priced in.
What US wages say about these rates.
ZipRecruiter · BLS OEWS · US Census
The in-house alternative anchors the whole market. ZipRecruiter lists US bilingual virtual assistant wages at $20 to $52 an hour as of June 2026. Normalized to a full-time month of 173 hours, that is roughly $3,500 to $9,000 a month in wages alone, before employer load: payroll taxes, benefits, equipment, and management time.
For wider context, the mean US hourly wage across all occupations is $33.54 per the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics release covering May 2025. The US bilingual VA wage band brackets that national mean, consistent with bilingual front-line work being priced as skilled labor rather than entry-level admin.
The demand side of the same anchor: 44.9 million people in the US speak Spanish (US Census Bureau, 2024 American Community Survey). That is the population whose calls, texts, and emails the bilingual virtual assistant category exists to answer, and it is why bilingual capability carries a measurable premium wherever it is scarce.
Against those anchors, the published full-time LATAM band of $1,120 to $4,400 a month sits below the bottom of the US in-house wage band even before load. The spread inside the LATAM band itself is what experience, management, and replacement infrastructure are worth in published prices.
How every number on this page was verified.
01 · What was collected
Published prices, bilingual claims, and replacement terms for 12 providers across four service models: managed VA agencies, LATAM placement and recruiting firms, subscription staffing, and US-based legal assistant services.
02 · How prices were read
Each price was read on the provider's own first-party page on a recorded fetch date (June 10, 2026 for this edition) and is reported exactly as published. Ranges stay ranges; no averaging, no false precision. Every priced row carries its source domain and verification stamp.
03 · The verification taxonomy
Every figure is classified one of three ways. Verified: confirmed on a first-party page on the stated fetch date. Third-party corroborated: reported consistently by outside sources but not confirmed first-party; such figures are excluded from priced rows in this edition. Unverified: no public price exists; reported as not published, never estimated.
04 · Dating of claims
The Internet Archive Wayback Machine was used only to date when a claim appeared on a page, never to source a current price.
05 · Public anchors
US wage and demand context comes from three public sources: the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics release covering May 2025 (mean US hourly wage, all occupations: $33.54), ZipRecruiter wage listings as of June 2026 (US bilingual virtual assistant: $20 to $52 an hour), and the US Census Bureau 2024 American Community Survey (44.9 million US Spanish speakers). Full-time months are normalized at 173 hours (40 hours a week times 4.33 weeks).
06 · Disclosure
Assistiq publishes this report and appears in the dataset under identical rules. Its row reports the prices published on its own pricing page, nothing more.
07 · Limitations
A published price is not a negotiated price; quoted engagements can land outside published bands. Hours definitions vary by provider (hours per month, hours per week, days per week) and are reported as published rather than forced into one unit. One-time placement fees and minutes-based plans are not monthly comparables and are labeled as their own models. Prices in this category move quarter to quarter, which is why the report carries fetch dates and a re-verification cadence.
08 · Corrections
Providers may request corrections by writing to hello@assistiq.io with a link to a current first-party page. Corrections are applied within 5 business days and logged in the changelog.
One URL, updated every quarter.
This report is published by Assistiq, a bilingual virtual assistant provider that appears in its own dataset under the disclosure in the methodology. It exists because the alternative sources for this category are estimate roundups citing other estimate roundups, and the category deserves one dataset where every number traces to the page it was published on and the date it was read.
