| Which plan to pick | Test 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. | 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. | Start on Free to confirm your apps connect, then move to Professional on yearly billing. Buy the smallest task tier and let Zapier tell you when you are close to the limit, because it is easy to overestimate how many tasks you need. |
