Celonis 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 | Consumption-based, quote-based by data volume and processes | Quote-based |
| Deployment | Cloud | Cloud, On-premise, Hybrid |
| Company size | Enterprise | Enterprise |
| Stated ERP integrations | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud | SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365 |
| Vendor | Celonis | UiPath |
Our take
Where Celonis leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 23 capabilities where they differ (led by digital twin of the process and triggered remediation actions).
Where UiPath Process Mining leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 11 of the 23 capabilities where they differ (led by process variant analysis and case-level drill-down).
- Stated Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration the alternative doesn't list.
Where they differ
The 23 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.
