And with the increased importance of automated testing, UiPath’s recent release of its Test Suite – which allows all testing to be done in a single repository 2 – will only increase their popularity.

However, an unclear RPA pricing model can be an adoption barrier, or lead to a lower ROI, with you paying more but getting less. If you want to get a high value for money, you should know exactly what you are paying for.

This article is for business leaders who want to use UiPath’s robotic process automation solution to automate processes, but are confused by its pricing models. We will explain all the new features and tools that UiPath offers, along a full comparison of UiPath pricing plans.

What do UiPath pricing terminologies mean?

UiPath plans mainly differ on the number of licenses, tenants, attended and unattended bots, and the UiPath Studio. The more you need each of these, the more you’d pay.

Undisclosed. Per an unofficial report, it cost $97,000 3 in 2021.

What do users say about UiPath pricing model?

Software vendors are intentionally vague with their licensing costs to incentivize you to reach out and sit through a sales call. Even the Pro Package, which has a clarified pricing of $420, can quickly increase with ad-ons. So, it was a bit hard to find how much a certain company, with certain requirements, paid for any of the packages.

The general consensus 4 is that UiPath doesn’t have an affordable price, and that the license cost can deter SMEs, with limited budgets, from adopting the UiPath platform (Figure 7). Having said that, there are users who view UiPath as an economical RPA choice given its features and capabilities.

Ultimately, whether UiPath RPA is considered expensive or not is a subjective matter and may depend on individual circumstances and automation and scalability needs.
