ARIS vs screenpipe

ARIS combines business process management, process mining, and AI in an environment that connects process designs with execution data. ARIS Process Mining reconstructs flows from event data, showing performance, bottlenecks, and deviations from designed processes; it can ingest logs from SAP, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. ARIS Simulation runs browser-based BPMN, eBPMN, and EPC scenarios and compares time, cost, throughput, and service performance. Its digital-twin process context describes processes, rules, roles, and systems for designing, deploying, and improving enterprise AI agents. APIs can let third-party systems create, read, update, and manage ARIS information, although API licenses may be required. Documentation covers cloud editions and on-premise server installations, giving the platform a hybrid deployment model. The Trust Center lists ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, SOC 2, SOC 3, HIPAA, and other materials; some documents require a valid point of contact. ARIS says it was founded in 1992 and became independent in 2025. Pricing is available on request after contacting sales.

screenpipe is a local-first desktop memory layer that records screen activity, app text, browser context, and audio for AI search. It captures connected monitors when activity changes, extracts accessibility text with OCR as a fallback, and records the active app, window title, and browser URL when available. System audio and microphone input are transcribed locally with OpenAI Whisper, including speaker identification for conversations. Natural-language search can filter history by date, app, window title, or browser URL and return screenshots and audio clips with extracted text. A visual timeline lets users review screen history and play audio from a chosen period. By default, captures, extracted text, and transcriptions stay in a local SQLite database rather than being sent to external servers. screenpipe also offers a localhost REST API, a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK, and an MCP server. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with no mobile app. The free plan covers one device; Basic costs $21 a month billed annually.
