How to choose

Match the workflow design

Look for a visual workflow builder when you want to map steps without writing code. Conditional logic lets a process choose a path when a stated condition changes.

Approval workflows suit tasks that need a person to review or authorize a step. Compare the run limit and paid starting price with the volume you expect.

Check connections and API access

Review the included connectors against the apps your team already uses. A public API can provide another way to connect systems or trigger work.

Choose where it runs

Platforms in this category include web, self-hosted, Windows, API, iOS and Android options. Pick a deployment style that fits your security and device needs.

Desktop RPA is relevant when automation must control work in desktop software. Confirm that the product supports the operating systems involved.

Compare free access and trials

Free plans and free trials are different: a free plan can continue without payment under its limits, while a trial lasts for a stated period. Check what features and run limits apply.

Prices vary by product. BMC Control-M lists a starting price of $2,400 per month on an annual term; IBM Robotic Process Automation lists $981 per month and a 30-day trial.

Do these tools offer free plans?

Can process automation software run on my devices?
