What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for UiPath?

I cannot speak on how it compares to other models or other components.

It is probably in line with the market. I am unsure about pricing for AI units as we haven't implemented them yet.

Pricing is fair. That said, it requires justification for returns due to a tight budget.

Pricing and licensing are challenging as they can be difficult to understand. They make it hard to determine utilization and necessary licenses for runtimes. Comprehensive components need to come together for a clear picture, making renewals and contract negotiations complex.

UiPath's licensing seems straightforward, and the pricing is comfortable for the corporate leadership. They made an outright purchase, knowing the full cost and expectations.

Pricing is high, affecting renewals significantly. Many small companies are hesitant due to the increased cost compared to past discounts.

Typically, pricing is reflective of the value provided. While more value for less cost would be preferred, we do not focus extensively on costs.

The pricing could be reduced as Microsoft Power Automate is becoming a strong competitor. There is a significant difference in cost between UiPath and Power Automate, with Power Automate being more affordable for some automations.

I am not involved in the purchasing, but people have been generally happy with the pricing so far. Some pieces we use now may not provide expected value, and we might remove those in the future.

The pricing is very expensive, making it challenging to continue using UiPath when competitors like Microsoft offer cheaper alternatives like Power Automate. Why continue to use UiPath when you're paying three to five times more?

UiPath's pricing and licensing have been reasonable and manageable for us. Despite challenges in constantly monitoring SharePoint folders, UiPath has worked well within our resources. We have a fully dedicated, unattended license for our invoice processing, which needs to be a top priority and is always running throughout the day. We have another one for all of our other scheduled automations, and we've been pleased with that so far.

UiPath isn't cheap, but it's priced competitively with other automation solutions, and it offers more resources.

Pricing is a significant area for improvement. We see little margin as a bottom-level tier partner, which makes it challenging when communicating pricing to the customer.

UiPath's licensing could be cheaper and more dynamic. The licensing can sometimes feel high, especially for smaller companies, but generally, the pricing is reasonable when considering the time saved and corresponding costs.

UiPath's pricing is reasonable. The model of charging per AI unit makes sense, and the licensing for Action Center and other parts is good. The cost does not seem excessive.

UiPath is expensive compared to competitors. We're examining where the value comes in and their ability to continue being a leader to justify the cost.

UiPath is more expensive than other automation services, but the ROI justifies the cost.

UiPath's pricing and licensing are in line with the market. We haven't used AI units yet, so I'm unsure about their pricing.

The pricing and licensing of UiPath are expensive. I rate it ten out of ten in terms of expense.

I am using the free community version. The enterprise version is obviously a little expensive.

We used UiPath and built and deployed that project, which ran successfully for approximately two quarters while I was away. However, the cost and licensing associated with UiPath became an issue. The license we were using offered excellent features specific to our needs, but it didn't provide much beyond that. It didn't make sense to continue spending much money on UiPath, even though it saved us time and money. The savings were essentially being reinvested back into purchasing the UiPath license. While UiPath licenses offer valuable features, they are expensive. For our single-use case, investing that much wasn't justifiable. We switched to Selenium, an open-source automation tool. Although it took additional time to deploy the same solution with Selenium, and it might not be a 100 percent match in functionality, it allowed us to save on costs. The cost of UiPath is justified for organizations with many use cases but not for one or two use cases.

I don't handle the costing aspect as it's not within my scope. However, I understand that initially, businesses or clients might perceive UiPath as expensive. While this is true to some extent, the features and flexibility UiPath provides often lead clients to realize its value in the long run.

The cost is a bit high. It's good for a medium-sized corporation or bigger. It's a bit expensive for a small business.

UiPath is expensive compared to other RPA tools.

UiPath's licensing costs can be high, and to maximize their value, customers need a clear plan for utilization. The mistake many make is buying licenses without considering workload. Effective utilization comes from proper training and knowledge of UiPath's capabilities. With this knowledge, the high price may not seem so daunting. From a user's perspective, a well-defined plan is crucial. Don't buy one license for one process if you have 50! Having a full pipeline of automation justifies the cost. While UiPath may be pricier than other tools, its power is worth it – but only if you know how to leverage it.

It is the most user-friendly RPA platform, but it is also the most expensive RPA platform.

UiPath is priced high.

Compared to other RPA tools, UiPath is a much more expensive solution.

UiPath is expensive.

I believe that the price is on the higher side. From an ROI perspective, I would give it a rating of five out of ten. However, if we exclude the ROI considerations from the overall assessment, I would rate it at seven.

When I started with UiPath, there was a desktop model, and we did not have to purchase Orchestrator. Now, there is a bundle or package of Orchestrator with attended or unattended robots, so the cost is a little bit on the higher end. They are selling the Orchestrator model or the admin model. If someone wants to purchase the standalone or desktop model, they cannot do that, so the cost is on the higher side, but if we purchase more licenses, it gets reduced. If we purchase fewer licenses, it will be high.

The pricing is quite reasonable. I believe it is more affordable compared to other automation tools such as Automation Anywhere, which is often considered out of budget.

Its price is fair. We have no problem. It is good.

I find its pricing to be okay, but it also depends on the size of the company. Small users and individual users might not be able to exhaust all the features of the platform, but SMEs and large organizations are able to use the platform in a broad manner. They are able to enjoy many more benefits. UiPath needs to come up with a pricing and licensing model that favors small users and individual users.

Its price is reasonable. UiPath's licensing is not a problem for us because we are a big company, but for small companies that need automation, it is difficult to afford. I am from Sri Lanka, and in our country, SMBs do not invest this amount of money into licensing. For a big company, it is not an issue. Currently, we have five to six bots, and we are planning to increase them every year. It would be nice to have a version that has fewer features and a lower price.

I think UiPath costs too much. They know they're top dogs, and that's fine, but I would never recommend them for anything other than a large enterprise or the federal government. There are development costs and unattended bot licenses are more expensive. UiPath has additional apps you can purchase that all have separate costs.

The price is a bit high, but UiPath is worth the cost, given its ease of use and features. We sometimes use Automation Anywhere instead of UiPath to save costs, but UiPath is our preferred choice.

I haven't seen the pricing or dealt with the licensing of UiPath. However, I have heard of clients switching to Power Automate due to the fact that it was cheaper than UiPath.

I do not deal with the licensing.

Compared to other automation tools, UiPath is expensive.

The license cost is expensive because we have to pay for each tenant.

The solution's pricing is fair.

UiPath is expensive.

I wasn't surprised by the tool's pricing. It was comparable to my expectations.

If people don't understand the benefits, they might think it's a bit pricey, but for me, it's very cost-effective.

The solution's pricing is a challenge. Every time I go to renew my contract, the prices increase. It is getting expensive.

The tool's pricing depends on its use. It is expensive.

If it can be lower, we will always take lower.

UiPath is expensive.

The pricing is justified at the moment. It's definitely significantly more expensive than other competitors out there, but at the moment, its technology is good enough to where UiPath can justify it. It'll be interesting to see in the years to come, once Microsoft starts competing more, what the pricing ends up looking like.

The tool's pricing is fairly reasonable.

UiPath is too expensive.

The pricing is quite expensive compared to Power Automate. Clients are charged on a yearly basis. I'm not sure of the exact amount.

UiPath is on the higher side compared to Microsoft Power Automate and Automation Anywhere.

The pricing is a bit convoluted. We have an overallocation of licenses at the moment. Citizen developer licenses are something that we probably need to refine. They probably oversell it a bit to the point where we would propose that we may use x amount of licenses but in reality, we're probably only using a fraction of that. There's room for improvement in how they sell their product.

The pricing is competitive. I like the solution's pricing structure. However, the development tools can have a better discount because we'd like to have more developers be able to do the work. In the long term, running the product and running the automation unattended, I completely understand the pricing structure there, but on the Studio side of it, UiPath can come down a little bit on the pricing.

The licensing is very affordable, especially when you compare its benefits. However, I know that AI units are purchased separately and can be costly depending on the specific use case. We are still trying to figure out how to track our usage and which tier or plan to go with, but overall, it is affordable in comparison to other options.

UiPath is not cheap.

The pricing depends on whether you're running attended or unattended bots. Unattended processes cost a lot more, and you have to pay cloud costs, too. It's costly. The licensing for the tenant dashboard, developer's toolkit, etc. was reasonable, but unattended bots are quite expensive.

For small users and startups, the price is a bit high. However, it does give good value for money. For established organizations, it's reasonable.

The solution is on the expensive side. There should be standardized packages. If an organization already has a license with UiPath, UiPath should offer special licenses to each employee so that each employee has their own UiPath automation capabilities for each of their individual tasks. There should be regional packages and costs. Different regions cannot necessarily afford UiPath. What is affordable in Europe may not be affordable somewhere else.

I don't deal with the costs. The company is handling the licensing.

UiPath has more costly licenses than Automation Anywhere and, of course, Power Automate.

I don't know the exact cost, but UiPath is more expensive than Power Automate and Automation Anywhere.

The cost used to be fine, however, Microsoft has reduced its costs significantly and that's going to be a challenge for UiPath. In comparison to other automation products, UiPath is reasonable.

The pricing depends on the project and how many hours we will charge.

The price of the Enterprise version is high, and the licensing is very complex. For small businesses like ours, licensing is a very complex task and takes too much time. I face many issues with that.

UiPath is expensive. Automation Anywhere is much cheaper, and it does not have the same AI and machine learning capabilities or features. However, for some industry cases, such as document understanding and computer vision, these features are not required.

UiPath offers two versions of its solution: a free Community edition and a licensed Enterprise edition. The Enterprise edition includes all features and automatic updates, which are not available in the Community edition. The cost for UiPath is affordable.

I chose UiPath because it offered UiPath Community, where I could learn UiPath on my own without a business license. I like the idea that there's community support for UiPath. We can learn and teach ourselves. I like UiPath Enterprise, too. Since they have a community version, it makes learning UiPath much better and easier.

The product is not the cheapest. It has an average price.

UiPath has a very costly AI automation license compared to Power Automate. After discounts, it costs around fifteen thousand euros, while Power Automate gives you the same features for only a thousand euros, so there's a huge difference in the licensing costs. Pricing for UiPath isn't very competitive.

Before we procured the license, the pricing they quoted was too high. We continued to negotiate for almost a month. This is something they can improve from their side. If they had quoted the right price, we would not have had to negotiate. We got more than a 50% reduction in the price, which is bad on their part.

UiPath is slightly more expensive than Automation Anywhere and Microsoft Power Automate.

UiPath is a little expensive compared to other solutions I've seen on the market, but you can try it for free for 60 days. It may be too pricey for startups and small businesses, but it will ultimately save your company money, so it's a worthwhile investment.

When it comes to unattended robots, the cost for us in Sri Lanka is huge. It's tricky for us to convince management when they think about the price. We have to prove the value with evidence. We explain that we will save this or that amount, so please help us with this tool. Maybe for Middle Eastern or other countries, the price of that robot is not a big deal, but roughly $10,000 for an unattended robot is a very big deal for us. They are switching their licensing from a legacy mode to flex licensing. With that kind of license, they have given up a certain fee, which is okay, but the robot cost is high. Orchestrator is now free on the cloud platform, but we need UiPath Studio, the developer platform, as well as attended and unattended robots, and those are the things we pay for. The unattended robots are the highest priced. On a scale where one represents the most expensive and 10 is cheapest, I would rate UiPath at about two.

UiPath pricing is high and sometimes it's quite complicated as well, because there are loads of components and loads of product portfolios. It works, but it could be better. The pricing could be more attractive.

The price is reasonable. UiPath is priced for the market and is even better considering the value it brings.

The price is high. UiPath is more expensive than Automation Anywhere. The solution is not affordable for small businesses.

UiPath is more affordable than Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism, which is the most expensive.

UiPath has several modules that we would like to use. They will enhance our installation, but they are very costly.

UiPath is costly compared to Power Automate Desktop, but if you want to do most things, UiPath helps a lot. The more you use it, the cheaper it gets.

Its price could be better. They should reduce its price. The insights module, process mining, document understanding, and other modules should come as one package because when you buy a module, it usually is not enough for a project, and then you have to buy another module. They might already have bundled these. I have not checked it recently.

UiPath is a bit more expensive than other similar solutions, and its price is increasing daily.

The cost of UiPath is higher in Africa than in Europe and Asia due to differences in salary levels. As a result, the number of customers who are able to use UiPath is limited. We pay for additional components to include features, in addition to the licensing fees.

Most tools have a trial license. With UiPath, you need to pay from the beginning. Many customers aren't familiar with the product, so it would be helpful if they offered a free evaluation period. We need experience with UiPath because we have to convince the customer to adopt it.

Everybody is afraid of the licensing fees in the beginning, and because we are in Romania where salaries are still significantly lower than in Western Europe, that means that licensing fees have a bigger impact on costs for the company. But we are also working more and more for companies outside of Romania, where that is less of an issue. When we come up with an offer in which the licensing fees are getting a little bigger, clients are more reluctant. That is another reason that we prefer to start with something a bit smaller until they get acquainted with the solution and see the advantages.

I rate UiPath a five out of ten for affordability. UiPath costs a bit more than other tools like Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere.

The price of UiPath is reasonable.

It might be a little pricey for some small businesses. When we were getting started, we had a difficult time deciding to go for it because of the pricing. Our company wasn't generating as much revenue, so it was a little high for our budget then. We can handle it today. However, the cost might be prohibitive for small startups. UiPath should consider plans for businesses that are just getting started and would like to use the platform.

We are using its enterprise version. Its price seems okay, but I'm not sure because I'm not involved with the finance side. I'm more on the development side.

As an application, it is not very expensive. It's very reasonable.

In India, where I am from, UiPath is expensive. But customers in other regions, like Europe or the US, will not find it so expensive. Every time we have a proposal call with a client regarding UiPath, most of our Indian customers are not okay with the cost. They can't afford it. They want alternatives, but they still often end up with UiPath because of the efficiency.

The Community Edition is free for everyone and you get all the features, but there is a limitation on the number of bots. The Enterprise Edition is a bit costly for the advanced features.

The pricing is competitive, and for large-scale use cases, UiPath may make better sense cost-wise. However, it is not very viable for small-scale use cases. Power Automate is much cheaper and has similar functionalities. UiPath offers two options. If you choose the on-premises option, then you would have to manage it yourself, but if you go for the fully managed one, then there won't be any overhead cost. We are gradually moving to Power Automate and Power Apps because we are already on the Microsoft stack, and it helps us reduce the footprint. If the cost of UiPath were comparable to that of Power Automate, then UiPath would have been the better alternative.

The UiPath license is a little expensive, but we get a lot of good features for the price.

Its pricing is straightforward. There are two editions: one is the community edition and one is the enterprise edition, which is a paid one. The paid edition is priced reasonably. They charge extra for additional training and implementation, but that should be bundled up with the enterprise edition itself. All in all, it's reasonably priced.

We now have the challenge of cost. It depends on what you want to do. If you want a very simple robot to execute normal front-office transactions, I would recommend Microsoft Power Automate because it's free. If you are investing in more complex things, then I would always recommend UiPath. UiPath is starting to price itself out of the market. It's getting expensive. That's fine if they continue to push the envelope of what they offer, but it's all about perception. And the perception over the last two years with my customers is that it's expensive. I trust it, but it's expensive. We're seeing year-on-year price increases. There's a price point they're getting to that is about the value and they need to be very careful about that. UiPath, as an organization, has changed massively. When it IPO'ed it was a Romanian company and very much a European company. Now, it's an American company with American values, and I think there is a misunderstanding of the European market compared to the American market.

1. The UiPath Platform is very cheap compared to other platforms.
2. You can recover this cost in Months time if your discovery process is stronger :)
3. To start with UiPath Starter Pack you would end up only paying <= USD $32,000 annually.
4. Considering bare minimum good enough to to 20 RPA cases:
5. With at least 1 Un-attended Bot, 1-Non-Production Bot, 2-Attended Bots, 2-UiPath Studios.

Hope this Answer helps :).

UiPath provides free community editions but that comes with limitations.

Recently I came across one of the emerging RPA platforms which is most advanced and more than 50% economical than UiPath & other leading RPA vendors such as Automation Anywhere and Blueprism etc. The USP of this new RPA platform is self-service automation.

It's a business user-friendly platform where business users simply record the process and that's it automation is done without any coding.

To know more about this RPA platform please reach out to,

We pay $3,000 per license, annually. We're using attended robots, but we will move to unattended as quickly as possible.

I can't say whether their licensing structure is complicated or easy. I'd like to say it's complicated, but I try to stay away from the whole licensing issue. I tell my clients, "You buy the license. It's your tool. I'll come and build the bot for you." I don't want to have anything to do with the licensing. That deters some of the clients because it's a bit pricey. In the government sector, where I work, "free" is looked at skeptically: "Why are you giving this to me for free? If I download it what is it going to do on my laptop?" from a security standpoint. Some of the agencies get the approval to download and install but others don't.

The solution has gotten pricier.

It is one of those things where you pay for convenience. Pricing-wise, UiPath is definitely way more expensive than other solutions that we have seen, especially since we also have Microsoft Power Automate, which is one of the latest tools. UiPath is on the higher end, but it is one of those decisions, "Is it worth the investment? How much are you getting as an ROI?" That is usually how the conversation goes.

No matter how much you complain about the price of a SaaS product, it's still cheaper than building your own data center and other infrastructure. That's my perspective as someone who works for a company that does digital transformation. The price is cheaper than building and deploying your own solutions.

We are using the Community Edition. The cost is only that of the virtual machines. The pricing of the Enterprise Edition is a bit high. It's several thousand dollars a month. That's too much, because not every enterprise or organization can build such useful robots that will make it worthwhile for them to pay this much. Maybe the cost of the program could depend on the number of automations, or the complexity of the automations.

One of the downsides to UiPath is the cost of the enterprise version. It is a little bit on the higher side. UiPath's cloud offering is a centralized, all-in-one platform. It saves money because you don't have to invest as much in other software, and it's cheaper than some solutions because you don't have to maintain the platform or the database. However, because it's not cheap, the overall cost reduction is not drastic at first. Taking a holistic view, it does because overall, it will reduce costs. There is also a Community Edition that can be used free of charge. This is an option for users that find the price to be high. One main differentiating factor with the Community Edition is the number of updates. There are fewer in the Community Edition. Also, the support offered for the Community Edition is not as quick. People will not have a great user experience. However, it is important to remember that in terms of cost, the Enterprise Edition is a little bit pricey for small and medium-scale enterprises.

UiPath's price is reasonable. It's not so high relative to the capabilities. I don't know about different licenses or more premium versions. Prices are negotiated on the corporate level.

I'm not directly involved in the financing, but the IT team considers this product costly.

We are an enterprise. So, its price is bearable for us, but I am not sure about the small industry. It might be expensive for them.

It is a bit expensive, but it is cheaper than Blue Prism. We have six robots in total. There are no other costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

Developing countries like Sri Lanka are currently experiencing high inflation. We share UiPath across several platforms with attended and unattended robots. We pay an affordable price for attended robots, but the unattended robot costs nearly 10 times as much. That's a huge cost, even if you only need five robots. Even with the budget constraints and the high prices in our country, we can buy around eight attended robots for the cost of one unattended robot. Unattended bots are useful and have a lot of valuable features, so it would be nice if they can bring the cost down.

The pricing is good. We have some allocated budget for implementing such kinds of automated solutions. Budget is not a constraint and we need fully functioning software that can help to automate our processes.

The main thing that could be improved is the cost. I have worked with other tools and the licensing cost of UiPath is slightly higher than the others. Also, UiPath has a built-in functionality called Computer Vision to extract values from a PDF. If we want to use Computer Vision, UiPath has one drawback. The cost is based on how many documents we are using Computer Vision on. That makes it difficult to estimate ROI. Computer Vision has a dynamic cost. To propose a project to a client, a project that includes Computer Vision, we need to have some kind of standard cost so that they can calculate the ROI effectively. Computer Vision should not be based on usage. This is one of the main drawbacks that I have seen in real-life situations, when quoting a price for a client. If UiPath improved in this area, they might have many more customers who want to automate PDF interactions based on Computer Vision, because it has huge scope.

They have to reduce the price a little bit for basic users, startups, and small companies.

The licensing could be more flexible. They might have a different enterprise cost strategy for each of the licenses. The license is rigid in that you cannot generally scale up. To scale up, we have to have a license procured before we can run a bot there.

As long as your company has enough repetitive work where you can automate, the pricing is quite easy to calculate. If you save more money automating these tasks in the first half-year, then it's definitely a worthwhile investment. You should take into account the different server where you actually run the product with a Windows license and the cost of purchasing the machine.

UiPath is a little more costly than competing solutions such as Automation Anywhere. The cost for licensing is handled by our customers that use the bots.

The solution is a bit pricey. More and more companies are coming out with similar solutions, and therefore the space is likely to become very competitive.

We're an official partner of both AA and UiPath and both of them carry the same weight with a very marginal difference but there is a difference in cost. Currently our clients are looking for cost optimization post-pandemic and UiPath comes at a high price point.

UiPath is an expensive solution but it is worth the money. You have a lot of features. The licenses need to be improved because when you have to use UiPath on another system, you have to set up the processes manually, and you are not able to change the process the time if you configure a process running at the system. You have to stop it and then run to the other system. It's not too easy to configure it according to the system. If you have a large deployment, for example, 10 to 20 bots, it's hard to configure.

The pricing and licensing are pretty decent. If you are using it as an automation developer, it comes in at under $500 a month. Still, the pricing can be reduced, but the service and functionality are solid. I have heard from some of my colleagues that there are many subdivisions of the pricing and some of them are between $1,500 and $2,000 a month. That is expensive. But overall, my colleagues say it is a cost-effective program in the long run.

The cost is better than that of other solutions in the market, like Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. Still, I would like to see them improve the pricing for small and mid-sized organizations. If you are working in a large corporation, adoption is not a challenge. But if you're working in a small or mid-sized company, there are financial constraints. UiPath has to introduce flexible plans and pricing so that smaller companies can also use the solution. In some cases, if you compare the overall cost of the solution and the cost of human effort, the human effort is cheaper.

Pricing is based on your process. If your process is fairly simple, it will not cost much.

Its actual cost turned out to be about two times more than what we thought it was going to be upfront. There were hardware costs that we were not expecting. Some of the server costs and things of that nature were higher than what we were expecting but based upon the return, it was a net.

UiPath is becoming expensive and will be outpricing themselves if they continue to enforce their current service configuration (model). Many clients have been impacted by the pandemic and instead of assisting to breach the gaps, there is a sense that UiPath is monetizing on the disaster.

From what I hear, UiPath's licensing costs are a bit high, but I can't evaluate that information because I haven't actually experienced the cost. We are using a free version at the moment. A good thing about the Community Edition is that they allow you to deploy even as a company as long as revenues are below $5 million I think.

I don't know the pricing enough to really comment on it. I know we're getting a better deal in automation than what we had with Automation Anywhere bots, at least per bot deployment. However, I don't know what the licensing costs are.

The pricing was great at the start, and so, down the line, we have been enhancing all these features. We are seeing that, as we are looking for opportunities to grow, the number of robots that we need to purchase and the software cost is going to go up. UiPath has increased the cost. We feel that it's good, however, based on all the new features, which we are pursuing. That said, we expect that whatever robots that we have purchased or whatever the standard platform that we have from UiPath should continue with the pricing that they had earlier. There will be an offset, however, when it comes to the existing platform like Orchestrator or robots, and we are expecting that the margin should be less.

If you're smart about it, you understand what your needs are, you can get an ROI out of it without having to go get the full-blown solution. You don't want to drop $20,000 on an orchestrator unnecessarily. You can ease into it, into adoption, without dropping a lot of money. Maybe some attendant bots, and an unattended locally on a large scale, in a small area. If you do that and start easy, you'll get a return on investment. Eventually, when we start scaling, we'll pay for the orchestrator. You'll need that when you start getting a lot of bots, and it becomes like herding cats. It gets crazy. That's what you need an orchestrator for. While you can avoid a cost at a certain point, you're probably getting diminishing returns, and then it's going to be more costly to manage something all over the place. It's best to start small and then add on.

I don't really have too much to offer about the pricing part of it. I don't really work on that side of the business. I would say my only gripe about the pricing would be something like a Studio Pro license being more expensive than a Studio license, just to essentially get something that links Test Manager. Some people might've found that a little bit hard to swallow. From what I've heard, Studio Pro is going away and Test Manager is just going to come into Studio. That would be the only thing I've noticed that I thought was a little silly. Everything else is typically not really my side of the business.

The pricing and licensing get a little complex. There are so many different options that you can choose from, and practice adds to the time to figure these things out. Whereas, with, for example, Blue Prism. It's a pretty standard basic model. UiPath gets a little hectic at times.

I do not fully understand our pricing model yet, but I would say that it is fair. I cannot tell at the moment how it is going to affect us. Right now we have only six unattended bots and maybe two attended ones, so we will see how it goes as we grow.

I know that the reason we went with UiPath is because it is a lot cheaper than the other vendor we were using. It is of a better quality as well, but it is less expensive to run on an ongoing basis.

The solution is very expensive. It's getting harder for me to convince my management about licensing costs.

UiPath's pricing can be confusing. They are changing it all the time. It would be nice if it was a bit more transparent.

The pricing structure is very complicated. Someone from the organization has to sit down and set aside some time to fully understand it.

The solution is pricey at the beginning, however, we'll have to see going forward with what we get for the tools. It's always expensive to buy a really nice car and then not drive it very far, very much. It's all about the utilization. If we use it fully, the cost won't be as high.

I think the pricing is comparable. It's fair pricing for the size that we're deploying.

I'm not sure about licensing and pricing, but the pricing for their certification is a little bit more. Previously, we could do it for no price.

I began learning UiPath with the Community version, which is available free of charge.

I do know about the prices of attended and unattended bots as well as Orchestrator. There are costs related to Orchestrator, Studio, and attended bots. There are also infrastructure costs, and, while implementing this tool in any organization, there are different costs attached to it. The price for the attended bot is between $1,800 and $3,000. The unattended bot was $8,000 last year. Orchestrator is around $20,000.

A couple of our clients cannot actually go ahead with the initial investment of Orchestrator as it costs quite a lot. The thing is that we don't need that much of a license in order to automate our processes. Having a free version of a cloud or having a cheaper version of Orchestrator has actually helped a lot. Automation Cloud helps decrease UiPath's total cost of ownership. However, overall, if we talk about scalability, once the number of licenses that I need increases, ultimately, Automation Cloud might be a bit expensive. It depends upon the version you're using. Yet, since the license cost is increasing, what happens is if you go ahead and buy more than five licenses, then essentially you would have been in better shape if you would've actually bought the paid version of Automation Cloud and installed it on-prem. That would've been a cheaper option. It's subjective. Our scenario is just that we need two unattended licenses to do the job. Some of the clients do consider the initial investment of UiPath to be expensive. It's seen as expensive specifically from the cost of getting a licensing for an on-premises setup. For some projects, UiPath can be overkill. However, it is the best software a company can invest in for automation purposes. I cannot speak to the exact cost, as I don't handle licensing directly. It's paid per year. We get licenses not directly from UiPath. Rather, we get them from a vendor. There are additional costs as well. For example, the cost of an SQL server is one. We are definitely using the Azure product suite as well. We had to actually invest quite a lot in SQL Server in terms of database management, just to make sure that everything gets logged properly and that the Orchestrator is functioning properly.

I always work to design my solution in such a way that is the most cost-effective. You do need to pay the full license cost in order to use UiPath, so you need to be strategic to get the most out of it. Our company handles costs internally as we do not directly deal with a vendor.

There is no additional cost apart from the standard licensing. There is a one-time cost for the infrastructure setup.

Its price is on the higher side as compared to the other players in the market. They are tying up with a lot of other products such as Druid, but they are independently also very expensive. That's what the customers say when we start giving them options of UiPath.

Licensing is quite complex, and sometimes that's true even when we have to explain it to our customers. There may not be a way to do it more simply. The only potential additional cost when implementing UiPath involves the third-party tools. It can be a quite big portion, of course, so you should consider that aspect. Examples would be integrating different systems within a company, systems such as Salesforce, SAP, or ServiceNow; all of the main CRMs that businesses use.

There are three leaders in the market: UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism. UiPath is in-between the two. BluePrism is on the higher end when it comes to pricing. Automation Anywhere is on the lower side when it comes to pricing. When comparing the automation of business processes, analyze the amount of work that your organization will save using automation, particularly compared to the pricing. You will be compensated for buying the product when you see processes automating.

The licensing model is very good.

We analyzed and compared the costs of RPA from different vendors and we found that UiPath was the most cost-effective in the long term. An unattended robot costs approximately $8,500 annually.

While I can't speak to how much users pay for enterprise-level editions, I can say that their community version is quite good and free to use. I've used the community license for the last five years and it's been great.

I don't know the exact prices, however, I know that compared to other companies, other solutions, it's the best value for money, at least in our country.

UiPath is cheaper than its competitors. The licensing model is good. We have a three-year licensing plan with UiPath, which we are okay with. Our three-year model with UiPath is a very low cost versus other competitors. We don't need to redo it every month or year. If you want to minimize infrastructure costs, there are no costs involved with the cloud.

The price of UiPath is higher than competitors, although the cost depends on what functionality and tools you require. For us, we don't need anything extra in terms of functionality but our contract includes an extra charge for premium support.

It required $750 down. That price was low compared to other competitors. However, we don't have a very good currency rate per dollar. This was a huge amount for our company, which was the reason UiPath offered a very good price. At the same time, they offered us some discounts, e.g., a five percent discount. It has a good price for the licensing as well as for its overall cost.

The price of Orchestrator is pretty high in general as well as compared to other solutions, because Automation Anywhere does not charge for its Control Room.

The pricing is a little bit high, as compared to the competition, but the compatibility and the functionality is fantastic and that's why we chose UiPath. Although it's a little bit high, it's affordable for our company. This is a quality application, so we can spend that money.

The solution really works for its price. The license cost is the only cost to start a new bot. However, if we want UiPath to do an activity and go through another machine, like Remote Desktop, or application, like Bloomberg, then we have a special license that is an extra cost.

I don't really know about the specifics of pricing, but identifying the type of automation you need will determine whether you can go with attended or unattended licenses. Think about whether you want your robots to run unattended and 24/7 or not, or whether you want a person to validate something in a given process, or if you want to constantly monitor the bot. Those are the types of things that will help determine the types of licenses you need. With unattended, they now have something called Action Center where you can do a hybrid automation. That type of automation will be unattended, but there will be a human in the loop.

One more feature that is useful is that earlier, we didn't have the option for a concurrent-user license. With the help of the concurrent-user license, we can save on licensing costs while running multiple bots under the same license.

The licensing is too expensive. It is not a cheap product. We constantly have to build business cases where we have to justify our existence as an RPA team. We have engaged in a long-running licensing agreement because we believe in the product. We have used a third-party consultancy, and that's definitely not free.

Our company is based on automation. UiPath is the correct solution for this. It is cost-effective and has an affordable price.

There are three types of licenses: unattended, attended, and developer.

If you want to start doing RPA, I think you should definitely go with UiPath because it has the Community edition. You can just install it and check whether or not your process works fine with UiPath. It will be an attended bot, but you can form an idea whether your bot can easily be automated.

Our license cost is reduced since we don't require any IT support.

The licensing is close to optimum; however, there is room for improvement in both the cost and flexibility of the licenses. It isn't the best pricing in the market but it's pretty close.

The pricing is good compared to other software. Based on the features that UiPath is providing, and the community support, the price is reasonable.

The pricing is average; it is not too high nor too low.

The pricing is pretty fair. Sometimes the pricing can be a little bit strange. There are different prices if it's for a specific user, a specific PC or if it's an attended bot or unattended bot. The price can be quite different, but I think when you talk to UiPath or when you look at the pricing sheets, there's not always a justification of why a certain license is more expensive than another. Licenses are more expensive than another but I wonder why there's such a big difference, why attended is four times more expensive, and that sort of thing. In terms of the orchestrator, I think it was a bit too much. It used to cost about 20,000 pounds a year. Now, they are ramping up costs. If you get an orchestrator but with just a few blocks, it's cheaper and then you can add up more parts to the orchestrator. So the cost goes up, which I think is better.

Take advantage of the Cloud-based implementation. You'll have to handle the Orchestrator licensing costs. It's obviously different for every organization. It's beneficial to get away from the on-premise installation. Also make sure that your business case justifies whatever the license cost is for an unattended or attended bot. Show your business case and that the automation will help you to exceed the license cost. You want to look at things that are going to give you a return on investment in about six months' time. Take advantage of the Cloud-hosted version so as not to pay the cost for Orchestrator. Then for your bots, make sure you will see a six months ROI in terms of how much automation you've gotten and how much you can get the robot to get done.

The pricing is okay, but I recommend to build a business case before going live. Ensure that you really use the license and building the robot makes sense. Try to think of multiple use cases, because one license can be used for several robots. There are additional costs for using third-parties. We also have internal costs with the infrastructure and for the virtual machines where the robot operates. The costs are quite affordable. It is a solution that makes sense from a business perspective.

UiPath is very cost-effective.

This solution is worth the investment.

The setup cost is minimal as far as other options are considered.

I think the setup cost is quite nominal, but the licensing might be on a higher side when compared to Automation Anywhere. However, we should not forget about the features and flexibility which UiPath has.

This solution is not cheap but the price is worth it because by following the documentation and using the support, you get good robotic processes that are stable. Overall, we are satisfied with the pricing.

UiPath is not very pricey. If you purchase an Orchestrator then it's pricey but you receive the benefit that it runs many processes simultaneously.

UiPath has a Community version that is totally free (including Orchestrator) and has all the features. Any organization that wants to get into RPA should try that out and then look into the paid version.

If you are using UiPath at a very small level then its community edition can serve your purpose. However, it still has a lot of limitations in terms of the number of robots and support. The selectors are not reliable and you often face issues with the presentation layer.

Pricing is quite reasonable with UiPath and there are some tools which are free to use.

The initial investment cost is expensive, but I promise you guys this will be very helpful as we can easily automate applications and our productivity has increased.

There are different licensing options and you should study which one better suits your company's needs.

UiPath is more cost-effective than any other tool.

The best thing is that the UiPath Software is available as a Community Edition that is free and sufficient for personal use or small business.

UiPath is a good deal all round.

The cost is small compared to the benefit. Licensing can be cumbersome and makes overall pricing needs somewhat hard to forecast, but not too difficult once the tool is scaled.

My advice is to use the community edition first to automate a small business process and then go full-on with UiPath.

If you are a smaller organization, use the free community version of the software to get a feel for its features and abilities. Then, once you are comfortable with how it can be applied, work with UiPath to implement it. It will take sacrifice, but the returns are great.

You need IT support in installation and operations. This is not the job of 'just' plug and run. Costing and licensing were generally in line with expectations of this type of software.

My advice is to try the system out with the Community Edition first.

Do your research, the infrastructure piece is important to understand before purchasing. Also, you need Orchestrator to implement UiPath properly, so don't let anyone tell you different! Finally, you don't need to start with 100 bots... my advice is to start small and then scale.

I hope in the future the costing will be trimmed down, especially on Studio.

License costs are high, but the setup is really quick and does not demand a lot of resources involved.

UiPath has multiple plans that suit most businesses that want to evaluate the suitability of RPA in their company before going with full adoption.

My advice is to ask about how the licensing works and how to get access to the other services that UiPath provides.

I'd advise others to consider sharing the costs after ensuring they understand their expectations for utilizing the capacity of the robots. Share the cost if you forecast not utilizing the entire capacity.

Plan for the future! Don't just focus on trying to buy a license to meet your current need, but look to have the right infrastructure in place to help you scale. The investment is relatively small compared to the potential in qualitative and quantitative benefits that can be achieved.

There's information online. There's actually a section where you can go through training online for licensing. There's some documentation available as well from the UiPath sales team. You can just ask them. I've already struggled with licensing a little bit. It's never been super clear because you have the notion of a mode lock and concurrent users and things like that depending on whether you want it on one machine or whether you want the licenses to be able to float around different users. The wording around it can be improved. They communicate in a simpler way.

The cost depends on how many licenses we have and how we use the bots. We have a rate for attended bots and a rate for unattended bots. The price itself depends on the project and the number of licenses required. The prices, in general, are good — actually they are the best — but they could always be cheaper. Right now there is no one that is cheaper. The cost is in line with what we thought that it should be.

Our licensing fees for this solution are €68,000 (approximately $75,000 USD) yearly.

We license the use of the product on a yearly basis. The licensing we bought costs $7000 in 2019 for what we have in production. That is the cost of the license plus Studio. From a cost perspective, I believe that unattended robots can save even more time and more money than attended robots. The only reason we haven't gotten unattended processes into production yet is simply that we haven't got the authority to operate Orchestrator on our network server. The cost is not an issue given our budget, we need to be able to justify how secure it is.

For our first customer, we started with Orchestrator, an unattended bot, and a couple of Studio licenses, all of which cost $25,000 USD for the year. It is definitely worth the money.
