Our verdict on Coasty
Coasty is a computer-use agent and API for automating multi-step work across graphical desktop applications, web browsers, terminals, documents, email, and business workflows. It is aimed at developers and organizations building browser, desktop, QA, research, data-entry, CRM, and other automations. Runs can operate on managed cloud machines or accept screenshots from external desktops, browser pages, phone emulators, and remote sessions, giving teams a hybrid way to connect automation with different environments.
Pricing is structured around usage and development access. Pay as you go costs $0.05 per managed step, with managed machines included, streamed steps, and no monthly minimum. The Developer plan costs $19 per month and includes $25 of API credit each month, a developer dashboard, and the same $0.05 managed-step rate; it can be canceled at any time. Enterprise adds custom credits, dedicated VMs, an SLA, SSO, and priority support. This gives smaller teams a low-commitment route while reserving dedicated infrastructure and enterprise support for larger deployments.
The standout strength is breadth: Coasty combines click, type, scroll, and drag actions with browser navigation, form filling, data extraction, login handling, screenshot-driven interaction, terminal commands, file operations, and cloud-machine lifecycle control. Versioned workflows add branching, loops, retries, parallel execution, schedules, authenticated webhooks, streamed lifecycle events, and human takeover or approval steps. REST APIs cover predictions, sessions, machines, grounding, runs, tasks, workflows, and schedules. Choose Coasty when one automation layer needs desktop, browser, terminal, and API control. Teams seeking only a narrow browser automation tool may prefer a more focused product.
