What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The software's pricing is cost-effective.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
UiPath and Robocorp are similar, but Robocorp's price plan stands out as more favorable. One of its significant advantages is the ability to import Python scripts and use them as additional script libraries. Moreover, it doesn't require extensive administrative knowledge. On the other hand, setting up UiPath involves complex configurations that can be time-consuming. With Robocorp, I didn't have to spend much time on the setup.
What other advice do I have?
The price model for the product is excellent. Here we can try the features before buying it. As for Robocorp, I see its potential for smaller companies. They should create more advertisements for larger companies interested in the product. Overall, I rate it an eight out of ten.

Consultant at freelancer
An open source, Python-based stack for simplifying automation with rapid processing, but it could be more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
- "I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."
