Robomotion Pricing Explained: Which Plan Your Business Actually Needs
Robomotion's pricing page lists four plans, from free to $399 a month. The price on the card is not the question that matters. What matters is which robot types each plan includes, because only one of them can run your bots on a schedule while nobody is watching. Pick the wrong plan and you can build a bot that works perfectly and then cannot run on its own. Here is how to read the plans and what the total cost of a working bot really is.

1. The four cloud plans at a glance
These are the monthly Cloud prices listed on Robomotion pricing as of October 2026. Annual billing is advertised as saving 20%. Self-hosted pricing sits on a separate tab, and Enterprise (SSO, SLA, custom setup) is quoted under Self-Hosted.
| Plan | Monthly | Robots included | Notable limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Not listed | 50 daily credits, 250 one-time credits, 1 GB storage, no credit top-ups |
| Solo | $49 | 1 Development, 3 Application | 1 user, 50 flows, 2,500 AI credits, 80 cloud run hours |
| Pro | $129 | 3 Development, 1 Production, 5 Application | 3+ users, 250 flows, 7,500 AI credits, 240 cloud run hours |
| Team | $399 | 5 Development, 2 Production, 15 Application | 5+ users, unlimited flows, Document Understanding, 25,000 AI credits, 720 cloud run hours |
Every paid plan includes unlimited local execution time: when the bot runs on your own machine or server, you are not billed per minute. Add-ons are listed as $9 a month per extra user, and extra robots from $19 (Application), $49 (Development), and $99 (Production) a month.
2. The detail that decides your plan: robot types
Robomotion's robot documentation describes three kinds of robot, and they are not interchangeable:
Development Robot
The robot you build and test with from the Flow Designer. The docs state plainly that Development Robots are "not eligible for scheduling or trigger-based operations". Great for building; it cannot run your nightly job.
Production Robot
The one that runs on a schedule or a trigger, unattended. This is the robot that replaces repetitive work without someone pressing a button.
Application Robot
Runs only the flow attached to an App you publish from the Admin Console. Useful when staff launch a packaged automation themselves, for example a form that kicks off a report.
The consequence: Solo has no Production Robot. It is right for learning, prototyping, and automations a person starts by hand. If the goal is a bot that downloads invoices every morning at 6 a.m. without anyone touching it, Pro is the realistic starting plan. Adding a $99 Production Robot to Solo costs more than simply moving to Pro, which also brings more users, flows, and credits.
One more rule matters for sizing: a robot "can run one flow at a time". Two bots that must run at the same moment need two robots, or a schedule that staggers them.
3. Which plan fits which business
- Free: evaluating the Designer and the template library (Robomotion lists over 250 ready-made flows). Not for production.
- Solo ($49): a founder or freelancer automating their own tasks, where they start each run themselves.
- Pro ($129): a small business with one to a few unattended processes that can share one Production Robot on a staggered schedule, for example invoice downloads at 6 a.m., data entry at 8 a.m., a report at 5 p.m.
- Team ($399): several departments, processes that must run in parallel, high-volume scraping (500k proxy requests), or document-heavy work that needs Document Understanding.
- Self-hosted or Enterprise: when data must stay inside your network, you need SSO or an SLA, or IT requires an on-prem licence. Robomotion's deployment docs describe Cloud, Private Cloud, and On-Prem options.
4. The full cost of a working bot
The subscription is one of four line items:
- The plan. Usually Pro or Team for unattended work.
- A machine for the robot. Robots install on Windows, macOS, Linux, or a Raspberry Pi. For unattended work that is usually a small Windows or Linux VPS that stays on. Note that headed browser and desktop GUI automation need an interactive desktop session, which affects how the server is set up.
- The build. A one-time cost to design, build, and test the bot against real data, including error handling. This is where a cheap bot and a reliable one differ most.
- Maintenance. Websites change. Budget a little time each month for fixes and monitoring, or a maintenance retainer.
5. A worked payback example
Illustrative numbers; plug in your own. Say an admin spends 8 hours a week downloading supplier invoices from portals and typing them into your accounting system, at a loaded cost of $30 an hour.
- Manual cost: 8 h × $30 × 52 weeks ÷ 12 ≈ $1,040 a month.
- Running cost: Pro at $129, plus a small server, plus a few hours of maintenance a month.
- Payback: the one-time build cost divided by the monthly saving. When the saving is several hundred dollars a month, a well-scoped bot usually pays back within months, not years.
The numbers that do not show up in that formula are often bigger: no typos discovered weeks later, invoices processed on the day they arrive, and an admin who now does work you actually hired them for. Try your own numbers in my use-case and ROI guide.
6. Five pricing mistakes I see
- Buying Solo for a bot that must run on a schedule.
- Planning two processes for the same minute on one Production Robot.
- Paying cloud run minutes for work that could run locally, where execution time is unlimited.
- Registering the workspace to the freelancer who built it instead of the business. Your workspace should be yours, with the builder invited in.
- Choosing the plan before mapping the processes. Map first, then size robots.

How much does Robomotion cost?
As of October 2026, Robomotion lists a Free plan, Solo at $49 a month, Pro at $129 a month, and Team at $399 a month on its Cloud pricing, with annual billing advertised as saving 20%. Extra users are $9 a month and extra robots start at $19 a month. Self-hosted and Enterprise pricing are quoted separately. Check the official pricing page for current prices.
Which Robomotion plan do I need for unattended bots?
Usually Pro or higher. Robomotion's documentation says Development Robots are not eligible for scheduling or trigger-based operations, and the Solo plan includes a Development Robot and Application Robots but no Production Robot. Pro includes one Production Robot and Team includes two.
Can one Production Robot run several bots?
Yes, one after another. A Robomotion robot runs one flow at a time, so several processes can share a robot on a staggered schedule. Processes that must run at the same time need additional robots.
Is execution time limited on Robomotion?
Paid plans list unlimited local execution time, meaning runs on your own machines or servers are not metered. Cloud run minutes are a separate monthly quota per plan.
