The verdict

UiPath wins, 8.6 to 8.0

UiPath can be self-hosted via Automation Suite on Linux or Kubernetes; Workato has no self-hosted edition, keeping everything in its own cloud. UiPath also includes agent evaluation, scoring output 0 to 100 across evaluation sets, where Workato's Agent Studio has no evaluation feature for its genies. UiPath hosts across seven regions including Canada, India and Japan, two more than Workato's five. Both hold HIPAA compliance.

Pick UiPath if you want self-hosting and built-in agent evaluation.

Pick Workato if you need 14,000 app connectors and agent orchestration.
