The report card
Best for enterprise RPA with a trial
Blue Prism sells enterprise RPA and AI automation, and offers a free trial of up to 30 days plus a Learning Edition. No price or plan is published, and the main button is Contact Us.

| Value for money | C | No prices or plans are published, and a guessed pricing address returns not found. It sits in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free trial of up to 30 days, plus a locally installed Learning Edition. The pages read do not state a card. |
| Features | C | Digital workers, a managed cloud edition and AI orchestration products, but the pages read do not say what the core build tools cover. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Enterprise RPA means learning to build and run digital workers. |

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Blue Prism you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. 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: 51 of the 71 other automation tools grade higher.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: SOC 2 and HIPAA.
What this rests on. Blue Prism’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.
