What is Appian?

Appian is an enterprise low-code automation platform used to design, automate and optimize business processes and applications. It combines a visual drag-and-drop application designer with process orchestration, robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent document processing and a virtual data layer called Data Fabric that connects information from multiple existing systems without duplicating it. Appian targets large organizations that need to modernize legacy processes quickly while maintaining governance and security.

Appian's pricing is organized into Standard, Advanced and Premium subscription tiers priced per user per month per app, with each tier unlocking more data sources, RPA bots, AI actions and portal capacity. Exact prices are not published and require a sales conversation. A free Community Edition is available for individual developers to learn the platform and build in a personal, non-production environment.
