How to choose

Where can I deploy an RPA tool?

Deployment options vary: tools may run on Windows, the web, Linux, macOS or a self-hosted setup. Check that the option fits your systems and where you want bots to run.

For example, Cyclone Robotics RPA lists Android, Linux and Windows support.

What should I check in an RPA bot builder?

Compare whether a tool has a no-code bot builder, how bots execute, and whether it includes process discovery. These details help you judge how bots are created and run, and how workflows are identified for automation.

Can I try RPA software for free?

Check whether a free plan or a free trial is available; these are different offers. BotCity lists a free plan and a 30-day trial, while Fortra Automate lists a 14-day trial.

Pricing can be listed as a starting amount or provided on request. Microsoft Power Automate lists a free plan and paid pricing from $15 per user per month with annual billing.

Does RPA software offer an API or open-source code?

Compare the public API and open-source marks when you need software to connect with other tools or want access to its code. A public API is a documented way for other software to communicate with a tool; check the licence before using open-source code.

The board also compares free bot limits, which can help clarify what a free plan allows.

Questions
