The visible robotic process automation loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Robomotion earns its keep through connectors, auth, reliability, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

the prompt
Build a deliberately narrow personal substitute for Robomotion, not a full clone.
Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + BullMQ.
Primary job: Build one explicit robotic process automation workflow with a trigger, validated steps, retries, logs, and a manual replay button.
Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project.
Make the default mode single-user and private.
Store user data locally unless the core job requires the declared self-hosted database.
Do not add analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts.
Put every secret and external credential in .env and provide .env.example.
Use realistic sample data that is clearly labelled and easy to delete.
Implement the smallest polished interface that completes the core loop end to end.
Include clear empty, loading, validation, success, and failure states.
Add import and export so the user is not trapped in the app.
Use accessible keyboard navigation, labels, focus states, and sensible contrast.
Validate untrusted input and never log secrets or private file contents.
Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: hundreds of maintained connectors; OAuth app verification; durable execution at scale.
Do not fake integrations, network effects, proprietary data, model quality, compliance, or security claims.
Where an external API is optional, keep the app useful without it and explain the degraded mode.
Write focused unit tests for the data model and the most important workflow.
Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works.
Create a README with setup, permissions, architecture, data location, backup, and limitations.
Add scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run.
Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them.

why people still pay

Robomotion: One automation is easy. Subscribers pay for maintained integrations, credentials, retries, observability, and someone else owning breakage.

questions
Can I vibecode Robomotion?

Kinda. The core of Robomotion is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: hundreds of maintained connectors, OAuth app verification. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Robomotion cost?

Robomotion's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan · The official pricing URL is recorded, but a stable current amount was not safely recoverable in this pass. Do not publish a number until rechecked..

What do I lose by replacing Robomotion?

Honestly: hundreds of maintained connectors; OAuth app verification; durable execution at scale; schema drift handling and enterprise controls. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Robomotion?

Yes: UI.Vision RPA (Browser and desktop macros with OCR and spreadsheets; cloud workers are replaced by the machine in front of you.) Power Automate for desktop (Windows gets a free attended RPA designer; unattended cloud robots still report to accounting.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
