Before you choose
Match the tool to your work
Start with the work you need to manage. Approval workflows, intake forms and task dependencies address different parts of a process, so check which capabilities fit your needs.
If work repeats, look at recurring-work support. For processes with several steps or handoffs, consider how task dependencies and approvals fit together.
Check automation and reporting
Compare the published automation-run details for the workflows you plan to automate. Confirm the limits and terms before choosing a plan.
Reporting levels can differ. Check whether a tool's reporting fits the information your team needs to review.
Compare ways to try and pay
Check whether a tool offers a free plan or a free trial, and read the conditions that apply. A free plan and a trial are different ways to evaluate software.
Compare the paid starting price with the plan features and limits you need. A starting price alone does not show what a workflow will cost for your use.
Check platform availability
Confirm that the tool supports the platforms your team needs, such as web, Android, iOS, Windows, an API or self-hosting. Availability varies by tool.
If you need a particular platform, verify it for the plan you are considering before making a choice.

Is a free plan the same as a free trial?
No. A free plan and a free trial are different ways to try software. Check the terms and limits for the tool you are considering.
Which platforms should I check before choosing?
Check whether the tool supports the platforms you need, such as web, Android, iOS, Windows, an API or self-hosting.
What are task dependencies?
Task dependencies are a comparison point for workflow tools. Check a tool's details to see how it handles the relationships between tasks.
