Celonis Process Mining Platform vs screenpipe

Celonis Process Mining Platform helps companies examine end-to-end processes and identify opportunities for improvement. It combines process mining, AI, and process improvement knowledge while layering over existing systems, so organizations can analyze, improve, and monitor processes without replacing those systems. The Celonis Context Model creates a real-time digital twin of operations using process data, business knowledge, and intelligence. It supports root-cause analysis, predictions, recommendations, and scenario simulations. Data Core offers more than 100 prebuilt extractors for on-premises and cloud ERPs, CRMs, data warehouses, and other sources. The platform also connects with systems of record, data, AI and automation platforms, business apps, and custom apps. Celonis Marketplace offers prepackaged apps and solutions, and its Developer Center documents Process Intelligence APIs. The cloud platform supports web, Windows, and API access, with conformance checking, process monitoring, scheduled data refresh, task clustering, and automation opportunity identification. A free plan is listed; paid pricing is available on request and depends on the nature and scale of process mining needs.

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.
