In the world of business process automation, cost control is crucial—especially as operations scale. Jitterbit, a leading integration platform, offers powerful automation solutions, but as one of our clients discovered, the pricing model can become an obstacle. Running 5 million operations per year, this company reduced its costs by 70% by switching to PROCESIO. This significant savings was achieved without sacrificing automation capabilities.

By showcasing this real-world example, we’ll explain why PROCESIO’s processing time billing model outperforms Jitterbit’s operation-based pricing, making it the smarter choice for companies managing high volumes of tasks.

Jitterbit’s Pricing Model: The Hidden Challenge

Jitterbit charges based on the number of operations—every action or transaction is priced equally, regardless of complexity. While this may seem straightforward, it presents a significant issue: not all tasks are created equal.

For businesses like our client, which runs millions of operations annually, this can lead to inflated costs. Each task is priced the same, whether it's a quick data lookup or a complex transaction that consumes significantly more resources.

Why PROCESIO’s Processing Time Model is Better: Feathers vs. Oranges

This is where PROCESIO’s processing time billing model shines. Instead of charging for the number of tasks, we charge for the time those tasks take to process, offering a more accurate and transparent reflection of resource usage.

Let’s consider this with an analogy:

Is Paying by Processing Time Better Than Paying by Tasks?

Imagine comparing feathers to oranges. In a task-based pricing model, every feather counts as one task, and every orange counts as one task. However, we all know that feathers are a lot lighter than oranges. In Jitterbit’s pricing model, even though these tasks are vastly different, you end up paying the same price for processing a feather as you would for processing an orange.

PROCESIO’s processing time model is like charging by weight. Since feathers require significantly fewer resources to process than oranges, you pay less for feather-like tasks and more for heavier tasks. This fairer, more transparent system ensures that you’re not overpaying for simple tasks while still covering the cost of more resource-intensive operations.

In practice: Our client realized that, with Jitterbit, they were being charged equally for tasks that took mere seconds and tasks that took much longer. By switching to PROCESIO, their pricing became aligned with the actual resources consumed, saving them 70% in automation costs.

How PROCESIO Delivers More Value at Lower Costs

PROCESIO’s pricing is built to scale efficiently with your operations. Here’s how we help companies like our client manage millions of tasks without skyrocketing costs:

1. Transparent, Usage-Based Pricing

By paying for processing time, our clients are charged based on the actual resources used during automation. This model is particularly effective for companies with complex workflows, as they no longer pay a flat rate per task, but instead only for the resources consumed.

2. Flexible Payment Options

With PROCESIO, clients can choose between two pricing models:

  • Processing Time: Charged at €100/hour, clients only pay for the actual time their tasks take to process, making this ideal for varying task volumes and complexities.
  • Reserved Execution Environments: For companies with predictable needs, like our client managing 5 million operations, reserving execution environments at €4,380/year per environment allows for unlimited processing time—offering a predictable, scalable pricing option.

Real-World Case: 70% Cost Savings on 5 Million Operations Per Year

In the case of our client, a company running 5 million operations per year, the choice to switch to PROCESIO has been a game-changer. With Jitterbit’s operation-based pricing, they were facing annual costs well above $100,000. After evaluating their needs, we proposed switching to PROCESIO, where they would pay only for the actual processing time their tasks consumed.

This change resulted in a 70% cost reduction, allowing the company to reinvest those savings into other critical areas of their business.

Why More Companies Are Choosing PROCESIO Over Jitterbit

1. Fairer Pricing for Complex Processes

In Jitterbit’s task-based pricing, a simple lookup and a complex transaction cost the same. PROCESIO’s processing time model ensures clients only pay for the actual resources their automation consumes, making it a more transparent and efficient pricing structure.

2. No More Overpaying for Simple Tasks

With our client, switching to PROCESIO meant they no longer had to overpay for low-resource tasks. This allowed them to cut unnecessary costs while maintaining their automation capabilities.

3. Scalable and Predictable

PROCESIO offers unlimited sub-Workspaces, allowing businesses to scale effortlessly without additional costs. Reserved environments provide further predictability, ensuring companies can manage high volumes of tasks without unpredictable expenses.
