Agentic Index
Coworker vs UiPath (2026)
Both put agents across the enterprise and they build on different foundations, at 11.5 and 13.5 of 14. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.
UiPath orchestrates agents, robots and people through the automation estate with governance built in. Coworker pairs an organizational memory knowledge graph with model routing, fifty plus read and write connectors, a no code builder and approval gates, at thirty dollars per user monthly. UiPath's foundation is the process; Coworker's is the memory, and thirty dollars a user is a different order of commitment from an automation platform.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Coworker and UiPath are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 969 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Coworker if
- Organizational memory is the asset, and agents without it keep asking the same questions.
- Thirty dollars per user is a fraction of an enterprise automation programme.
- Approval gates on agent actions is the governance you need first.
Choose UiPath if
- Documented coverage is the deepest in the index and robots are part of your estate.
- Legacy systems without APIs are the automation problem.
- The AI Trust Layer is the governance framework your risk function will recognize.
