Appian Process Mining vs UiPath Process Mining
process mining head-to-head for ERP teams: evidenced capabilities, published pricing, and which ERPs each actually integrates with.
| Starting price | Subscription (bundled into platform tier; per-user/per-month/per-app) | Quote-based |
| Deployment | Cloud, Self-managed | Cloud, On-premise, Hybrid |
| Company size | Enterprise | Enterprise |
| Stated ERP integrations | SAP | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365 |
| Vendor | Appian | UiPath |
Our take
Where Appian Process Mining leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 7 of the 19 capabilities where they differ (led by natural-language querying and conformance checking against models).
Where UiPath Process Mining leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 19 capabilities where they differ (led by what-if scenario simulation and automation-candidate identification).
- Stated Oracle Fusion Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where they differ
The 19 capabilities (of 46 in the process mining taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
