Why teams switch

Why teams choose Crismo over Celonis

AI that doesn't need event logs

Celonis requires months of IT integration to extract event logs. Crismo's AI Discovery turns meeting transcripts into BPMN diagrams in minutes - no IT project required.

Design today, don't wait months

Process mining projects take 3-6 months before you see your first insight. With Crismo, you're modeling processes on day one.

Accessible to every team

Celonis is enterprise-only with 6-figure contracts. Crismo has a free tier and scales with your needs. Process design shouldn't require CFO approval.
