Wishup

Quick Summary

Wishup is a Virtual Assistant service based on India, with VAs also working from India. Although the website lists tons of locations, they say pretty plainly that their VAs work night shift in India to accommodate their global client base.

This is a pretty decent strategy SEO wise if someone is looking for “London Virtual Assistant” - but the searcher may think they are getting a London-based VA which is just not the case.

Service Structure & Availability

• Transactional/project-based rather than long-term dedicated assistants.
• Talent profiles showcase available VAs and their working hours. Some are marked “Fully Booked,” indicating they are taking on multiple clients or multiple projects at a time.

Restrictions

One thing to note here is that you cannot mix tasks - your VA can only do their assigned work. Compared to a VA from other services, it looks like WishUp keeps a pretty tight restriction on the work being done. Their FAQ section hints this:

Wishup’s bookkeepers are strictly used for bookkeeping/accounting tasks and not other administrative duties. Our bookkeepers have extensive experience and training specific to those niche tasks required for maintaining your financial records, while our virtual assistants are trained in the more front-end administrative/operational tasks.

And again for Marketing:

We do have a marketing/copywriting service offering that is also on a month-to-month subscription basis. This is a separate offering from our standard virtual assistant.

This boils down to the fact that if you find a stellar VA from them, you cannot give them work outside of the agreed upon scope.

With other services, you’re buying someone who can do the tasks within a scope of work but are free to leverage them as if they were your own employee - allowing you to potentially grab a marketing person who can also make the images for your socials.

I really do see this as a significant restriction, but I’m not sure how it’s enforced. Maybe it is well intentioned to keep their workers from accidentally doing something they are not properly qualified for (or maybe to upsell, who knows).

Time Tracking

Wishup leverages Time Doctor for their tracking tool of choice. This is a third party tool. I would suggest reviewing the capabilities and make sure you if you’re in a compliant space that some of the features are not enabled.

Pricing

• Starts at $1,999 for an India based virtual assistant
• Starts at $5,400 for a US-based virtual assistant

📌 Note: These are base rates; pricing likely varies depending on hours, skill level, and workload. After all, why else would they show experience level on the profiles?
