Leave Automation Anywhere. Keep the bots running.
Bot Runners, Control Room, and metered AI compound into a bill that grows with usage. We rebuild every TaskBot and MetaBot as code you own and run on your own infrastructure.
3-year savings (20 bots)

vs Automation Anywhere effective $15K/bot/yr
Why teams leave Automation Anywhere
The four reasons we hear most often.
Reason 01
Bot Runner licensing per concurrent bot
Each unattended Bot Runner is licensed annually, and Control Room sits on top. Effective per-bot cost clears $15K before you've automated anything new.
Reason 02
Consumption-priced AI + Document Automation
Automation Co-Pilot, IQ Bot / Document Automation, and Generative AI features meter by usage. Success at scale is a quarterly bill increase.
Reason 03
Cloud lock-in
The move to cloud-only Control Room means your bots, queues, and credentials live in their tenant. Leaving means exporting on their terms.
Reason 04
Maintenance routed through the platform
When a target app changes, fixes go through AAE's recorder idioms and your CoE. The recurring maintenance is the true cost, and it never leaves the vendor.
The math
What Automation Anywhere actually costs.
Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
Unattended Bot Runner | $9,000 / bot / yr |
Control Room | platform fee |
IQ Bot / Document Automation + Gen AI metered | consumption |
CoE + SI maintenance ongoing | $150–400K / yr |
| Real all-in | ~$720K over 3 years (20 bots, all-in) |
What we migrate
Every record.
Every field.
Specifically, from Automation Anywhere. Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."
- TaskBots, MetaBots, and shared logic
- Control Room queues, schedules, triggers
- Bot Insight dashboards and run history
- IQ Bot / Document Automation extraction models
- Credential Vault entries (to your own secrets manager)
- App integrations (API-first where available)
- Audit and compliance logging requirements
Our recommendation
Replace Automation Anywhere with Robot Framework (open source).
Robot Framework + rpaframework maps directly onto the TaskBot model — recorded steps become readable keywords, MetaBots become reusable libraries. We run them unattended on your infra or Robocorp/Sema4, orchestrate with Temporal or cron, and rebuild document automation on your own model keys. No Bot Runner license, no consumption meter.
Not the right fit?
We also build fully bespoke automations, deploy Robot Framework / n8n / Temporal to other estates, and integrate with whatever you're keeping. The audit covers the choice.
