Which plan to pickTest on Free first to make sure your target sites work. Professional suits most business use because of the site and user limits; pay yearly if you are sure, as monthly costs much more.If you have anyone technical on hand, self-host the Community Edition on a small server and pay nothing. Otherwise Starter on the cloud is the right place to begin, and 2,500 executions covers a lot when each run of a long workflow counts as one.Learn on Community. If you are automating real business processes, Standard is where agents and document extraction open up; use the 60-day trial to prove one process before signing. UiPath says the Basic plan is being reworked.
