Where Nintex stops short

A stack
A stack assembled from acquisitions

App dev, RPA, and e-sign arrived through acquisitions, giving a disjointed experience for the user experience and licensing.

pricing-card
Pricing you cannot predict

Quote-only pricing is transitioning to per-execution metering, so a fixed plan becomes a variable bill as automation scales.

It-request
Advanced work runs through IT

Advanced work is harder to learn, so business teams raise tickets and wait for trained specialists to make changes.

Legacy
Legacy rebuilds land on your team

When Nintex's legacy product line sunsets, the rebuild work lands on your team, not Nintex.

AI across the whole lifecycle

  • Describe the app in plain language and AI Builder generates a working app
  • Use AI to analyze solutions, generate documentation, run agents, and answer data questions
  • Scale with prompt-to-integration, Smart Links to APIs, AI translation, and sensitive-data detection
  • Every AI output is deterministic, inspectable, and editable, so nothing ships as a black box
AI-led
Full app building

Build the whole application, not just the steps

  • Build the data, roles, screens, logic, and workflow on one governed platform
  • Run forms, workflows, apps, and portals from a single model
  • Design the screens your teams work in, with pages, views, and role-specific layouts
  • Kissflow is the system the process runs on

    Everything you need to know about moving from Nintex to Kissflow

    They must be rebuilt. Nintex has no lift-and-shift path for legacy SharePoint and O365 workflows, so the rebuild effort lands on your team either way. If you are rebuilding anyway, rebuild once on a platform that integrates the data, screens, roles, logic, and workflow, rather than recreating the same automation-only layer.

    Nintex pricing is moving to per-execution consumption, which turns a fixed plan into a variable bill as automation scales. Kissflow uses a single user-based price with no per-execution metering, and AI is embedded by default. The savings come from cost predictability and from one platform replacing several point tools.

    Not always, and we are direct about it. If your core need is RPA bots or heavy document generation tied to Salesforce data, Nintex is strong in those areas. Kissflow wins when the real job is building and governing business-critical applications: the data, screens, roles, and logic the process runs on. Many teams keep a narrow automation tool for edge cases and move application work to Kissflow.

    No. Kissflow uses a combination of AI prompting and a visual builder that is easy for any skill level to master, so business users and IT can build in the same product without advanced certification tracks. Process knowledge transfers directly, and changes no longer wait on a release cycle: teams change apps directly, with IT keeping control through platform-level governance.

    Governance is native to Kissflow. Role-based access, audit trails, and centralized visibility apply to every app under a single governance and audit model, rather than varying across acquired products. AI-driven changes use the same audit log as manual edits, so nothing built with AI escapes review.
