Automation Anywhere vs Robomotion (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Automation Anywhere if

• Fits if you are a student or developer learning RPA
• Works for a small business under the Community Edition limits

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price for a bigger rollout, as none is published
• Tight if your company is above the machine, user or revenue limits of Community Edition
• Watch out: platform support was read only for Community Edition
• Too light for a phone-first job, as only Windows and Mac were listed

Pick Robomotion if

• Fits if your back-office work lives in web portals and desktop software with no API
• Works for organizations that need automation kept on their own machines, from $499 a month self-hosted

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you only want a few cloud apps connected, with paid plans from $49 a month
• Skip it if you need scheduled production runs on the lowest plan, since those start on Pro at $129
• Not for you if you want a lasting free plan, as the free robots stop after 14 days and credits can't be bought
• Watch out: extra robots cost $19 to $99 a month each, and AI model use is paid to the provider on your own key
• Tight if you need SSO, SAML or an SLA, which are listed only under Enterprise

Automation Anywhere

• No paid prices are published; the old pricing page returns 404.
• Community Edition use by organizations is limited by machines, users or annual revenue.
• Platform support was read only for Community Edition: Windows and Mac.

Robomotion

• The Free plan includes robots for 14 days only; after that it leaves 50 daily credits for agents, and more credits cannot be bought.
• Plans cap robots by type, and a production robot for scheduled flows starts on Pro. Extra robots cost from $19 to $99 a month each.
• AI model usage is paid to the model provider with your own key, and the site says third-party services may cost extra.
• Self-hosted plans start at $499 a month, and SSO, SAML and an SLA are listed only under Enterprise.

Robomotion

AI Assistant and visual canvas

Describe a workflow in plain language and the assistant builds it and connects the tools; every step stays on a canvas you can open and edit, then put on a schedule.

Browser and desktop robots

A software robot signs in, clicks, reads and types across websites and desktop applications that have no API. Recorders cover browsers, Windows, Java and image or OCR targets.

AI agents that call workflows

Agents run workflows on request, and any flow can be wired into an agent as a tool. Google's Agent Development Kit and the Hermes agent are available as nodes on the canvas.

Apps on top of workflows

An app is a user interface to a set of workflows, with MCP tools for agents. Ready-made apps and agents can be installed from the store and then edited.

Local or cloud execution

Workflows run on Windows, Mac or Linux computers you control, in Robomotion's cloud, or a mix chosen per workflow. Paid cloud plans include unlimited local execution time.

Credential vault and your own AI keys

Credentials are encrypted in a workspace vault and used only when a workflow runs. Keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or OpenRouter are added once and billed by the provider.
