Pricing, capabilities and platforms side by side. Prices are as of the "Pricing checked" date in the table.

Coasty

Coasty

Coasty operates real software by sight: it browses portals, clicks, types, and verifies its own output without requiring an API from the target system. The vendor states it ranks first on OSWorld at 85.60% task completion, and the agent is designed to recover autonomously when a UI shifts — which is the specific failure mode that grinds traditional automation to a halt. It fits teams running long, multi-step workflows across carrier portals, ERPs, TMS platforms, or Microsoft 365 consoles. The ceiling appears when you need deep bidirectional data integration rather than screen-level execution; at that point, a native API connector will outperform it on speed and reliability.

SoviaJobs

SoviaJobs

The tool works as a Chrome extension that stores your profile once and autofills application forms across ATS platforms in seconds. On top of that, an AI matching engine scans job boards daily, scores each listing against your skills, seniority, salary range, and location, and serves a ranked feed — so you stop reading job descriptions you were never going to get. The autonomous Autopilot tier, described by the vendor as 'auto-applies in a loop,' takes this further: it schedules and fires off applications without you touching each one. The ceiling appears when an ATS uses non-standard fields, CAPTCHA flows, or multi-step employer questionnaires — autofill stalls, and you're back in the form. Cover letter generation is included, though the page offers precious little detail on how deeply it customizes beyond the base template.

Pros
  • Operates any portal by sight without requiring an API from the target system, so workflows that were permanently blocked behind legacy or API-less software become automatable without an IT integration project.
  • Autonomous UI recovery means when a carrier or ERP portal updates its interface, the agent replans from the new screen state rather than throwing an error — so your operations team stops getting paged at 9pm because a scraper broke.
  • Long-horizon task execution across hundreds of steps, so multi-portal workflows like quoting 20 carriers per submission or reconciling month-end statements run without a person stitching together each handoff.
  • Computer-use API with structured JSON output, so development teams can embed screen-reading intelligence into custom agents without building the underlying vision and action model themselves.
  • Human approval and recorded audit trail on sensitive workflows like MSP tenant offboarding, so regulated teams have the sign-off documentation they need without adding a manual review queue on top of the automation.
  • Profile-once autofill across ATS platforms, so the 5–10 minutes per application the vendor cites collapses to seconds and a volume of applications that would otherwise take a week becomes an evening.
  • AI match scoring against skills, seniority, salary, and location, which means you stop reading job descriptions that were never going to match and your daily review list is pre-filtered to realistic targets.
  • Daily automated job feed sourced from job boards, company career pages, and aggregators, so you don't open twelve tabs each morning to check for new postings.
  • Autonomous Autopilot tier that applies on a schedule without per-application input, which is the only way to sustain triple-digit weekly application counts without burning out.
  • Cover letter generation included in the flow, so you avoid the context-switch of opening a separate tool for every application.
Cons
  • Screen reading adds execution latency per step that a direct API call does not. Workflows requiring real-time or high-frequency data sync — think live inventory updates or sub-second transactional reconciliation — hit this wall immediately, and teams at that scale switch to native API integrations or ETL pipelines instead.
  • No self-hosted deployment option exists. Teams in environments with strict data residency or air-gapped network requirements cannot keep task execution and screenshot data on their own infrastructure, which is a hard blocker in certain regulated verticals and the primary reason teams move to a self-hostable RPA alternative.
  • Complex multi-agent branching logic that depends on what a prior step returned eventually outgrows what screen-level execution can express cleanly. Teams building workflows beyond four or five conditional branches report adding a custom code orchestration layer — at which point they are maintaining two systems and the simplicity argument for Coasty weakens.
  • Non-standard ATS fields, CAPTCHA gates, and multi-step employer questionnaires break the autofill — the extension stalls, the form stays half-filled, and you finish it manually, which defeats the automation for the applications that need it most.
  • Autopilot submits applications without per-submission review, which means a generic cover letter or a mismatched answer to a 'why us?' question goes out attached to your name. For a target employer you've been tracking for months, that's a disqualifier you can't take back.
  • No API and no self-hosted option means your resume, work history, and contact details live on a vendor's infrastructure with no export or self-custody path — teams at companies with data handling policies, or candidates in sensitive roles, hit a hard stop here and move to a local-first or API-accessible alternative.
  • The free tier is feature-limited after the initial trial period, and the full autonomous loop is a paid-only feature — users who rely on the free tier for volume automation find themselves capped before the workflow delivers its core promise.
