Automation is no longer optional. Enterprises now face a choice between Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Low-Code platforms. Both approaches offer unique advantages—but they are not the same.
RPA uses software robots to mimic human interactions with applications. It is ideal for repetitive, rule-based processes that span multiple systems without APIs.
Low-code platforms allow business users to create applications with minimal coding. They are best for building custom workflows, apps, and integrations quickly.
| RPA | Low-Code |
|---|---|
| Automates existing processes without changing systems | Builds new applications or custom workflows |
| Best for repetitive, rule-based tasks | Best for flexible, creative process design |
| Fast ROI, minimal coding | More development effort, but highly customizable |
The right path depends on your goals. RPA and Low-Code are complementary, not competitors. By understanding their strengths, enterprises can design smarter automation strategies.
