Best for no-code automation with a Windows and Mac client

Automa is a no-code automation and AI agent tool with a visual builder and a desktop client for Windows and Mac. The free plan allows one app and 30 minutes of runtime a day, and the Pro price is not shown.

Who Automa is for

  • Fits if you want to try desktop and web automation on a free plan first
  • Works for teams automating repetitive desktop tasks without code

Who Automa is not for

  • Tight if you run automations for long, as the free plan stops at 30 minutes a day
  • Skip it if you need to know the price, since Pro has no figure on the page
  • Watch out: the free plan allows one developed app, and the paid plan's billing choices are only described in words

Why Automa gets a 2.0

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • CValue for moneyA Pro plan exists but no price is shown on the page read, so it sits in the middle until one is published.
  • CFree plan and trialThe free plan has one developed app and 30 minutes a day of runtime for third-party apps, plus a 14-day Pro trial. You will hit those caps.
  • CFeaturesVisual builder, AI features, triggers and scheduling, a virtual desktop with an API, and a marketplace. The listing shows free-plan limits on runtime.
  • CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build automations in a visual builder, which has a learning curve.
  • CPlatforms and integrationsDesktop clients for Windows and Mac only; no phone apps and no integrations named.

Keep Automa, or make your own?

Keep it

To replace Automa you would be making a builder that other people can use without writing code. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 81 of the 134 other automation tools grade higher.

What you could not

  • A builder that other people can use without writing code.
  • Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
  • An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
  • A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.

What this rests on. Automa’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

What is Automa?

Automa is an automation platform that pairs a visual no-code builder with AI features, so bots can click, type and move data between desktop and web applications. It has a free plan, a Pro plan with a 14-day trial, and an Enterprise tier with a management console and support services.

Worth knowing

  • The pricing page lists a Pro plan but no price appears in the page text that could be read, so the cost of Pro is not recorded here.
  • The Free plan limits third-party app runtime to 30 minutes a day and one developed app.
  • The download page offers Windows and Mac clients.
  • The vendor says paid plans can be billed monthly or annually, with a discount for annual, and offers pro-rata refunds on standard plans bought on its site.
