Ui.Vision vs UiPath

Ui.Vision

• Testers and developers familiar with Selenium IDE-style commands
• Automating sites or desktop apps where selectors fail but images and text can be seen
• Teams that need automation to run entirely on their own machines

UiPath

• Enterprises automating work across legacy desktop applications
• Programs that combine robots, AI agents and human approvals
• Organizations that need a dedicated or self-hosted deployment

Ui.Vision

• Desktop automation and local file access need the separate XModules desktop app; the extension alone automates only the browser.
• Browser Vision input requires Chrome or Edge, so it is not available in the Firefox extension.
• The PRO and Enterprise editions add support and update management, not extra automation features.
• The hosted AI assistant sends chat content, page data and screenshots to the provider for processing, and AI PRO has no uptime guarantee.

UiPath

• Standard and Enterprise prices are not published; both are quoted by UiPath's sales team.
• Basic is capped at 5 Basic, 5 Plus and 1 Pro user, 2 robots and 1 tenant, and is hosted only in UiPath's European region.
• The pricing page says Basic is evolving and an updated plan is coming soon, and it does not state what the $25 starting price is charged per.
• Self-healing automation is an extra purchase on Standard, and live process monitoring, simulation and customer-managed encryption keys need Enterprise.

Ui.Vision

Record and replay browser macros

Browser tasks are recorded and replayed with Selenium IDE-style commands: filling forms from CSV data, extracting tables and automating file downloads and uploads. Selenium IDE scripts import and export.

Computer vision and OCR

Macros can locate buttons by image and read text on screen, including inside canvas elements, images and videos, which helps where a page selector cannot be built.

Desktop automation with XModules

The free Desktop App, also called XModules, adds native mouse clicks, keyboard input and drag and drop for desktop applications, plus reading and writing macros and CSV files on disk.

AI macro assistant

You describe a task and the assistant inspects the page, writes a macro, runs it and helps fix failures. It works without signup or an API key, or with your own AI provider or a local model.

MCP bridge

An MCP bridge that runs on your computer lets an MCP-compatible AI assistant inspect the live page, create and edit macros, run them and read the logs.

Command line API

Macros can be started and monitored from the command line, so they fit into tools such as Jenkins and scripts in Python, C# or PowerShell. The XRun command calls other programs.

UiPath

UI automation with robots

Robots work with screens and data the way a person would, using AI Computer Vision and selectors on Windows and macOS, and reach legacy systems and virtual environments such as Citrix.

Studio and Studio Web

Automations are built low-code or code-first. Studio Web creates and edits them in the browser, and the desktop experience works across Windows, macOS and Linux.

Agents and Maestro

Agents handle variable work that fixed rules cannot. Maestro models a process in BPMN and orchestrates agents, robots, API workflows and human tasks within it.

Autopilot and Healing Agent

Autopilot turns natural-language prompts into workflows, code and expressions. Healing Agent suggests fixes for broken automations and repairs UI issues at runtime.

Document processing and mining

From the Standard plan, UiPath classifies and extracts data from documents and communications, and offers Process Mining, Task Mining and Automation Hub.

Cloud, dedicated or self-hosted

Automation Cloud is the SaaS version. Standard and Enterprise can instead be self-hosted on your own Kubernetes or Linux machines, and Enterprise can buy a dedicated cloud.
