Human Virtual Assistant
$2,000–$5,000/month
vs Human Virtual Assistant — $2,000–$5,000/month
A human virtual assistant costs $3,000+/month and works 8 hours a day. Coasty Unlimited at one flat monthly rate is dramatically cheaper, works 24/7/365 with no sick days, runs up to 5 concurrent agents, and produces a full audit log of every action. A human VA costs $3,000+/month and has to log into apps one at a time. Coasty Unlimited at one flat monthly rate logs into all 1,000+ apps once via OAuth (Gmail, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Salesforce, HubSpot, Linear, Stripe, Shopify) and works 24/7 across every chat.
Ranked #1 on OSWorld at 85.6% (our in-house model, results public), with 82.81% independently verified on the official OSWorld leaderboard.
