Hello all, I’m wondering will be using UiPath for freelancing purpose ever profitable? I know that cost of UiPath along with Orchestrator is huge - and it should be, given the fact what UiPath is capable of doing.
But to be honest, I haven’t heard someone is working as a RPA freelancer using UiPath.
What do you guys think about this?

I think you can use the community version of uipath to do this… Communitu version has most of the features for free as you are aware… I also like the idea given by @sumitd… We are also thinking about the same concept here for small companies…

You can already do this, of course. If you know how to write automations in UiPath and a customer has UiPath, then you can write automations for them under contract. The costs of UiPath are not your concern, the customer already has it (or bought it and also wants you to install and configure it for them).

I have done few, directly or indirectly for clients, some used community version for not enterprise work some used enterprise version too. Pay is good, but you need to have good understanding on what you can achieve with what is available as there is no margin for big infrastructure setup.
There are few ways to cutdown those cost, Using free VM from different cloud engine or pay marginal amount, use enterprise trial or community version. Forecast with what you can save for them in next 1 year and boom you are done.

Long story short… It is profitable
