Your company is paying $10,000 to $50,000 per bot if you use UiPath or Blue Prism. That is not a typo. That is the reality of traditional RPA pricing. Meanwhile, AI computer use agents can do the exact same work for pennies on the dollar. Why are you still overpaying for robots when agents are cheaper, smarter, and easier to build?
The RPA Pricing Nightmare You Don't See Until It's Too Late
Enterprise automation vendors love to show you low per-robot numbers. They make it sound cheap. Then they hit you with implementation fees, maintenance costs, and user licenses. The hidden costs are brutal. One analysis shows implementation taxes can be 200% to 300% of the license cost. You pay a Big Four consultancy to install your platform. Then you pay more to keep it running. Meanwhile, your employees spend 73% of their time on tasks they were never trained to do. They copy data from one system to another. They fill forms by hand. They waste hours every week. RPA was supposed to fix this. Instead it became another expensive line item.
AI Computer Use Agents Are 100x Cheaper Than RPA
- RPA bots cost $10,000 to $50,000 per license per year
- AI computer use agents can complete the same tasks for pennies
- No implementation tax. No Big Four consultancy fees
- No separate user licenses for every human who touches the system
- Agents learn from screenshots and clicks. They don't need rigid scripts
Workers spend 73% of their time on tasks outside their job description. AI computer use agents fix that. RPA just adds to the cost.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini Are Not Built for Production
OpenAI's Operator is locked behind a $20 per month ChatGPT Pro subscription. That is for you. It is not for your business. Anthropic's Computer Use is a model you self-host. You pay for the API tokens. You pay for the infrastructure. You figure out the governance. You handle the security. Google's Gemini Computer Use is still in public preview. None of these vendors give you a finished product. They give you building blocks. You are responsible for reliability, uptime, and failure handling. If an agent gets stuck in a loop, who fixes it? Your team. That is not automation. That is babysitting.
Coasty Is the Only Computer Use Agent That Makes Sense for Most Teams
You want computer use that works out of the box. You want pricing that does not require a CFO approval form. You want agents that control real desktops, browsers, and terminals. Not just API calls. Coasty.ai is the #1 computer use agent. Our in-house model hit 85.6% on OSWorld with public results. An independent verification shows 82.81% on the official OSWorld leaderboard at osworld-v1.xlang.ai. No other computer use agent comes close. You can run Coasty on your own desktop with a free tier. You can deploy it in cloud VMs. You can use agent swarms to run parallel tasks. You can bring your own keys. Coasty does not lock you into a single vendor. It gives you a computer use agent you can actually trust.
Stop paying $10,000 per bot. Stop paying consultants to install platforms you do not understand. AI computer use is here and it is cheaper than RPA. The only question is whether you will adapt now or pay more later. Get started with Coasty for free at coasty.ai and see how much you can save.
