Business Process Automation is no longer the domain of large-scale IT projects. With accessible tools like Power Automate or UiPath, almost any organization can start automating — quickly, efficiently, and without major investments.
We wanted to show that, in 2025, automation is all about smart starts—not expensive systems. In the webinar, we presented practical ways to leverage tools many companies already have. For example, Power Automate is often included in a Microsoft 365 license.
The webinar focused on a practical comparison of Power Automate & UiPath in terms of functionality, implementation complexity, pricing models, and return on investment.
Based on our webinar and shared slides, here’s a summary of the key differences:
| Parameter | Power Automate | UiPath |
|---|---|---|
| Included in Microsoft 365 | ✅ Yes – part of Office 365 subscription | ❌ No – separate licensing required |
| Ease of Use | Low barrier to entry, drag-and-drop interface, ideal for citizen developers | Steeper learning curve, better suited for experienced IT teams |
| Features | Strong MS integration, basic workflow automation | AI, OCR, APIs, complex scenarios (e.g., SAP, CRM) |
| Pricing | Included in Office 365 license; per-flow ~$150/month | Free community edition; Pro ~€6,400/year; Enterprise ~€14,600/year |
| ROI | Fast ROI for simple workflows | Higher upfront investment, but potentially greater long-term savings |
| Scalability | deal for small to mid-sized teams | Enterprise-grade solution with broader scalability |
The webinar is still available online. We highly recommend it to anyone considering automation.
