OpenBots review
A broad cloud RPA suite for teams that need approvals, document AI and bot orchestration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpenBots is a robotic process automation platform for organizations building and coordinating repetitive business processes. It combines OpenBots Studio for automation development with cloud execution, orchestration, storage, scheduling, monitoring and workflow tools. Teams in areas such as healthcare, insurance, banking, lending and general enterprise operations can use attended or unattended automations, while business users can interact with approvals, work items, sites and forms that trigger bots.
Its strongest differentiator is breadth within a single RPA environment. OpenBots combines AI-assisted document classification, extraction and validation with browser automation using Selenium commands. Centralized storage covers files, assets and work items, while server assets can hold global and agent-specific values. The platform also brings together cloud scheduling, monitoring, approvals and forms, giving teams a way to connect document-heavy or browser-based tasks with business workflows. Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Outlook are the listed integrations.
The pricing structure is paid, with a 30-day trial and Developer, Growth and Enterprise plans. The Developer plan includes cloud automation development, cloud execution and orchestration, storage, Business Center, Sites & Forms, and Documents. This makes OpenBots a fit for teams that need more than basic task automation and want cloud coordination, document processing and approval flows in the same product. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a free plan, broader listed platform coverage or a narrowly focused automation tool with a simpler scope.
