Commercial licensing plans

UiPath offers two licensing plans: Unified Pricing Plan and Flex Plan. Each of these plans consists of distinct platform, robot, and user licenses, and consumption units. The following sections provide you with a high-level description of the licensing models.

Unified Pricing

Unified Pricing displays the following characteristics:

• Currently serves customers who use Automation Cloud and desktop products.

• Simplifies multiple consumables from the Flex Plan into a streamlined, unified Platform Unit consumable.

  • Promotes flexibility as it enables the reallocation of Platform Units if your initial plans change. Since multiple UiPath services consume Platform Units, you are not constrained to pre-defined uses for the acquired units.

• License consumption occurs at a more granular level, allowing for more detailed tracking and utilization control.

For details on Unified Pricing, refer to Unified Pricing: Licensing plan framework.

For details on how to switch from Flex to Unified Pricing, refer to Switching from Flex to Unified Pricing.

Flex

Flex displays the following characteristics:

• Uses several consumables, including AI Units, Apps Units, Robot Units, API Calls, and Agent Units.

• Each consumable under the Flex model serves a specific role, and these roles are independent of each other.

For details on Flex, refer to Flex: Licensing plan framework.

Switching from Flex to Unified Pricing

You can switch from the Flex licensing plan to Unified Pricing either when reaching your license renewal period or at any point before that. When ready, contact your sales representative for detailed instructions.

Important: If users remain assigned to Flex licenses after switching to Unified Pricing, all organization administrators receive a one-time notification by email and in-product message: "Your organization user licenses have been updated. Check your user and group license assignments in Admin - Licenses to make sure they have the right licenses and avoid service disruption". This helps ensure license assignments are updated promptly to prevent service disruptions.

Note that switching from Flex to Unified Pricing involves the following steps:

1. Enable user license management.

2. Reassign user licenses.

3. Reallocate consumption units.

4. Upgrade Studio to version 2025.10 or later to ensure full compatibility with Unified Pricing Licenses.

   Note: If Studio is running on a version earlier than 2025.10, the Plus license only grants access to StudioX. Users cannot access Studio until the upgrade is complete.

Reassigning user licenses in Unified Pricing

Flex and Unified Pricing include distinct user licenses. For this reason, when moving from Flex to Unified Pricing, as an admin, you must take the steps described in License migration.

Reallocating consumption units in Unified Pricing

Flex and Unified Pricing include distinct consumption units. While multiple consumption units are available in Flex, Unified Pricing relies on one single consumption unit, the Platform Unit.

When switching from Flex to Unified Pricing, if your organization had consumption units allocated to tenants, you must replace the following consumption units with Platform Units:

• Agent Units

• AI Units

• Robot Units

For details, refer to Service consumption units.

Flex to Unified Pricing user license mapping

The following table maps the user license in Flex to the user license in Unified Pricing model after migration.

The Ratio column indicates how many Flex user licenses are converted into Unified Pricing user licenses during migration:

• 1:1 - One Flex user license maps directly to one Unified Pricing user license.
• 1:1 but observing the new packaging - In Test Cloud, a Tester – Named User maps 1:1 to an App Test User, but App Test user licenses are sold in 5-packs. As a result, migrating one Tester – Named User requires purchasing four extra App Test User licenses.

Flex user license	Unified Pricing user license equivalent	Ratio
Automation Express 1	Express User	1:1
Autopilot Express	Express User	1:1
Cloud Basic User	Basic User	1:1
Action Center - Named User	Basic User	1:1
Attended - Named User	Plus User	1:1
Citizen Developer - Named User	Plus User	1:1
Automation Developer - Named User	Pro User	1:1
Tester - Named User	Plus User	1:1
Process Mining Business User	Plus User	1:1
Tester - Named User 2	App Test User Pack (multiple of 5)	1:1, but with observing the new packaging
Automation Developer - Named User 3	App Test Developer	1:1

¹ The Automation Express user license was replaced by Autopilot Express in the Flex licensing model, with the same capabilities. For existing assignments, the license name remained Automation Express.

² When migrating from Test Suite to Test Cloud, one Tester - Named User user license maps to one App Test User license. However, the App Test User licenses are bundled in packs of five, so migrating single Tester - Named User license requires purchasing four additional App Test User licenses.

³ When migrating from Test Suite to Test Cloud, one Automation Developer - Named User license maps to one App Test Developer user license. Test Cloud is included in the Application Testing licensing plans.
