How Viva compares

The same seat, two very different bills.

An in-house EA is a full hiring cycle, a salary with benefits, and one more person to manage. Viva is one monthly price for a dedicated EA that is already hired, trained and managed.

The questions finance asks

What does the monthly fee include?

Everything. Your dedicated EA, a dedicated customer success manager, continuous training including AI tools, and our replacement guarantee. Viva handles recruiting, payroll, benefits and retention. Plans start at $3,999 per month. See full pricing.

Are there recruiting or setup fees?

No. Matching, onboarding and re-matching are all part of the plan. If the fit isn't right, we find a better match at no additional cost.

Is my EA shared with other executives?

No. Every plan comes with a dedicated EA matched to your executive. This is not a shared VA pool or a ticket queue.

What happens if my EA leaves?

Viva re-matches you at no cost and runs the handover. Your workflows are documented in your own systems, so nothing is lost between assistants. With an in-house hire, that risk and that cost are yours.

Will procurement and security sign off?

We are built for it. Every EA signs a binding NDA and completes identity verification before any access is granted. Mandatory MFA, least-privilege permissions, no local storage. ISO 27001-aligned, and we support customers with SOC 2 environments.
