The honest comparison

ListPilot vs. doing it yourself vs. a VA

*Illustrative assumptions, not measured guarantees: the model uses 10 minutes for manual listing work and 45 seconds for a ListPilot run, then estimates 9.25 minutes saved per listing; the actual run and your review time vary. The VA scenario uses $0.50-1 per listing, and the labor counter uses $0.50 minus an assumed $0.05 AI cost per listing. AI charges vary by provider, model, input, and retries; $0.05 is a comparison input, not a typical or promised cost. The all-user labor counter excludes subscription fees; the monthly cards and calculator include the plan amount in their scenario.
