Licensing

ScreenPlay is available as an add-on to UiPath’s UIAutomation offerings. Its pricing model is designed to encourage adoption, minimize friction for experimentation, and allow flexible scaling as customers expand their AI-powered automation workloads.

Overview

ScreenPlay extends UiPath’s core UIAutomation capabilities with AI-powered understanding and interaction. Because ScreenPlay leverages large language models (LLMs), the pricing model balances affordability with transparency, including a generous bundled allowance, pay-per-use flexibility, and free trial and BYOM (Bring Your Own Model) options.

ScreenPlay pricing principles

ScreenPlay pricing is based on four key principles that support adoption and simplicity, as follows:

Principle	Description
Encourage consumption	Adoption is prioritized through low margins over cost and free usage for BYOM (Bring Your Own Model).
Easy to trial	ScreenPlay is available through a self-serve free trial, allowing immediate access without sales assistance.
No need to size upfront	Sufficient usage is bundled in the Add-On so customers can start before estimating consumption precisely.
General Availability	Available for all enterprise tiers and Community, with limited but meaningful access for experimentation.

ScreenPlay Add-On

To access ScreenPlay, you must first acquire the ScreenPlay Add-On, which includes both access and a yearly bundled capacity.

Advanced and Enterprise tiers include the ScreenPlay Add-On with 50,000 runs by default, if you consume the bundle using only Standard models. Consuming the bundle with Basic models gives you five times more runs.

The following tables offer an overview on Platform Tiering for Flex and Uni licenses.

Flex - Platform access

Platform features	No platform	Standard - $30k	Advanced - $100k
Access to ScreenPlay	✅(contingent on ScreenPlay purchase)	✅(contingent on ScreenPlay purchase)	✅includes Screenplay Add-On (inclusive of 50k runs)

Access to ScreenPlay	❌	✅(contingent on ScreenPlay purchase)	✅includes Screenplay Add-On (inclusive of 50k runs)
Governance of ScreenPlay	❌	✅(contingent on ScreenPlay purchase)	✅

Consumption-based pricing

After the 50,000 included runs are used with Standard models or consumed five times more with Basic models, ScreenPlay continues under consumption-based pricing. This pay-as-you-go model ensures customers only pay for what they execute, without upfront sizing requirements.

The following table describes the model tiers and their costs in Flex Units and Platform Units per run.

Platform features	Basic - E-Com only	Standard - $30k	Enterprise - $150k
Standard models	1 Agent Unit / run	0.20 Platform Units / run	High-capability models such as GPT - 5 + DOM, GPT - 4.1 + DOM
Basic models	0.25 Agent Units / run	0.05 Platform Units / run	Lightweight, faster models such as GPT - 5 Mini + DOM, Gemini 2.5 Flash + DOM

Each run includes up to five UI actions, billed in increments of five, as described in the following examples:

1 run = 1–5 UI actions;
2 runs = 6–10 UI actions;
3 runs = 11–15 UI actions.

As a fallback behavior, when the bundled UI actions are exhausted, ScreenPlay automatically continues using Agent Units or Platform Units so automations can run without interruption.

Bring your own model

If you bring your own model (BYOM), you are not charged for ScreenPlay usage. Once you purchase the ScreenPlay Add-On, you can use the capability without limits when connecting your own model.

ScreenPlay licensing and entitlements
