Cortado vs ProcessMind

Cortado is a free, open-source tool for interactive process discovery and process mining. It imports event logs in .xes format and initial process models in .ptml format. A variant explorer lets users inspect event logs visually and choose process behavior for discovery. Users can build an initial model from selected behavior, extend it with further behavior, and edit models manually while they are in progress. Discovered models can be exported as .ptml or .pnml files. Cortado supports temporal performance analysis both with a model and independently of one, and it supports conformance checking. The application combines an Angular frontend embedded in an Electron executable with a Python backend. Its repository lists the GPL-3.0 license. Standalone builds are listed for Windows 10/11, Linux, and macOS with Apple Silicon only. Help pages for selected functions are available in the tool, and the project invites questions and custom requests by email. The software metadata says administrator rights may be required to run it. The project identifies v1.12.1 as its latest release and gives the release date as June 25.

ProcessMind brings process modeling, mining, and simulation together in a cloud platform for process modelers, architects, analysts, and stakeholder viewers. Its browser-based BPMN 2.0 editor offers automatic layouts, AI model generation, and real-time collaboration. Mining analyzes event data to surface process behavior, bottlenecks, variants, and deviations; related capabilities include conformance checking, root-cause analysis, monitoring, and manual data refresh. AI tools include an assistant, summaries, insights, recommendations, and simulation settings. REST APIs handle data and configuration, and webhooks notify external systems; an MCP server is included with Enterprise. ProcessMind runs in a modern browser without installation, but has no on-premises option. Customer data is hosted on AWS in Frankfurt, Germany, with TLS 1.2 or higher in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. The Free plan allows one member, unlimited models, and 20 AI credits monthly, with no additional or free viewer seats. Paid plans are listed from €24.65/user/mo (annual); a 14-day trial is also listed.
