Heptora vs Ui.Vision RPA

Heptora combines deterministic robotic process automation with an AI assistant and AI agents for business workflows. Users can describe a process in plain language, inspect the proposed plan, and approve the resulting automation. A visual Recorder captures clicks and fields as users perform tasks, without requiring code. The Robot runs on a user's machine or server, processing business data locally. Use cases include data entry, document processing, report generation, reconciliation, portal extraction, and government submissions. The assistant can query connected systems and documents, then propose actions for approval. Agents can read and classify documents and handle exceptions within workflows that run as deterministic RPA after approval. Integrations described include ERPs, CRMs, spreadsheets, email, document folders, web portals, Excel, CSV, and REST API, without naming particular vendors. Heptora says production data stays on the user's infrastructure, with lightweight orchestration signals sent to its cloud during execution. Cloud AI is used while building automations, not during deployed execution. It requires an outbound connection for orchestration and license validation, and offers on-premises options for high-security environments.

Ui.Vision RPA automates browser and desktop tasks, and also supports web scraping, screen scraping, UI testing and test automation. Workflows can combine visual recording, Selenium-style commands, computer vision, OCR and a JavaScript automation API. Its AI assistant can inspect a live page, create and run reusable macros, and help repair failures. Users may choose hosted Ui.Vision AI, Anthropic, OpenRouter or a local OpenAI-compatible model. Macros execute locally; hosted AI sends chat content and included page data or screenshots to the chosen service for processing, while local AI keeps that processing on the machine. Ui.Vision says hosted AI content and screenshots are not stored. The browser extension supports Chrome, Edge and Firefox; desktop automation uses XModules on Windows, macOS and Linux, adding native mouse and keyboard input and direct local file access. A command-line API can connect with Jenkins and Cucumber and languages including C#, Python and PowerShell. Free Edition costs nothing for personal and commercial use. PRO Edition costs $299 a year, and Enterprise Edition costs $999 a year. Enterprise Player licenses cannot create new macros and include 10,000 OCR conversions per day per license.
