# What is the most affordable process mining software for SMBs?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hi, </p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I’m helping a couple of SMB teams look for process mining that’s realistic on budget but still useful for day-to-day improvement work. To avoid starting from scratch, I checked the G2 standings in the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/process-mining-tools">Process Mining category</a> to see which leaders are consistently well-rated and might be worth a closer affordability check. Sharing my quick take so others don’t have to start from zero — and I’m genuinely curious what SMB folks are actually buying (and paying).</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Here are the top tools:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-power-automate/reviews"><strong>Microsoft Power Automate</strong></a> — Best for SMBs that want process insights plus built-in automation without adding another big platform.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/uipath-agentic-automation/reviews"><strong>UiPath Agentic Automation</strong></a> — Best for SMBs that need process mining bundled with automation value quickly.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/celonis/reviews"><strong>Celonis</strong></a> — Best for SMBs that are scaling fast and want enterprise-grade mining before complexity explodes.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/bizagi/reviews"><strong>Bizagi</strong></a> — Best for cost-conscious teams that want mining tied closely to process modeling.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ibm-process-mining/reviews"><strong>IBM Process Mining</strong></a> — Best for smaller orgs already standardized on IBM tools.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"><strong>SMB reality check:</strong> I know pricing can vary <em>wildly</em> based on data sources, user seats, and whether process mining sits inside a bigger automation bundle — so I’m not assuming “leader = affordable.” This is just my shortlist for where I’m starting the budget conversations.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"> If you’re at an SMB and using any of these: <strong>How has pricing vs. value been for you in the real world? </strong>What felt worth it, what didn’t, and what surprised you?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;SMB buyers — did you start with a lightweight, open-soruce tool and outgrow it, or go straight to enterprise-grade?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
