Understanding UiPath Agent Licensing — A Quick Guide

UiPath has introduced a more flexible and scalable licensing approach for AI Agents, empowering teams to choose the most suitable model for their automation and AI workloads. Whether you are working with Community, Enterprise Unified, or Enterprise Flex licensing, the key difference lies in how consumption is measured and how runs are billed.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Key Highlights:

  • Community users are measured by LLM Calls and have free daily limits (250 / 350 calls) — ideal for learning and experimentation.

  • Enterprise Unified uses Platform Units (PU) — covering a broad range of automations and agent interactions under a unified billing model.

  • Enterprise Flex introduces Agent Units (AU) — offering fine-grained control and accurate pricing based on agent run performance.

All tiers support:

However, token-heavy prompts (>64K tokens) incur additional cost — except for BYOM, which provides more freedom and predictability for advanced use cases.

:light_bulb: Design- vs. Run-Time

  • Design-time testing is generally free within limits
  • Production runs consume PU/AU depending on the licensing model
