Why This Comparison Exists
Process Street is one of the most recognised names in workflow and compliance operations software. It has been in the market for over a decade and serves mid-market to enterprise organisations with complex compliance needs. Streamline is a newer platform with a fundamentally different approach to the same problem: getting business processes documented and optimised.
This page gives you an honest, side-by-side comparison. We built Streamline, so we have a perspective — but we're not going to misrepresent Process Street. Both platforms have strengths. The question is which strengths matter most for your business.
The Core Difference
The fundamental difference comes down to who each platform was built for and what problem it solves first:
- Process Street is a compliance operations platform. It's built for organisations that need structured workflows with approvals, conditional logic, scheduled runs, and audit trails. It excels at managing existing processes across large teams — particularly in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and property management.
- Streamline is an AI-powered process documentation engine. It's built for businesses that need to get processes out of people's heads and into documented form — fast. You describe a process in plain language, and AI transforms it into clear, actionable steps with friction analysis and optimisation recommendations.
In short: Process Street assumes you already have documented processes and need to manage them. Streamline assumes you don't — and helps you create them.

Pricing Comparison
Process Street no longer publishes pricing publicly — all plans require contacting sales. Based on publicly available information from review sites and third-party sources (as of early 2026):
| Plan | Streamline | Process Street |
|---|---|---|
| Entry level | $99/month (Starter, 1 user) | ~$100/month (Startup, 5 users) |
| Mid-tier | $199/month (Standard, 5 users) | ~$1,500/month (Pro, custom users) |
| Professional | $349/month (Pro, 10 users) | ~$1,500/month (Pro) |

| Annual discount | ~20% off | Available (amount undisclosed) |
Important note: Process Street's pricing is not publicly available and the figures above are estimates based on third-party review sites. Contact Process Street directly for current pricing. Streamline's pricing is fully transparent and published on our pricing page.
Where Streamline Wins
- Speed of documentation: Streamline's AI can transform a rough process description into a professional SOP in under 60 seconds. Process Street requires you to manually build workflows step by step using their structured editor.
- Transparent pricing: Streamline publishes all pricing publicly. Process Street requires you to contact sales for every plan, making it difficult to budget or compare.
- Cost for small teams: Streamline's Standard plan ($199/month for 5 users) is significantly more affordable than Process Street's Pro tier (~$1,500/month) for comparable team sizes.
- Friction analysis: Streamline doesn't just document your processes — it analyses them for bottlenecks, redundancies, and inefficiencies. Process Street stores and runs workflows but doesn't evaluate them.
- Data ownership: Streamline's Fair Access Promise guarantees you can always export and access your data, even after cancelling. Process Street doesn't offer an equivalent guarantee.
- Export capabilities: Streamline offers PDF and Word export on Pro plans. Process Street doesn't offer native document export.
Where Process Street Wins
- Workflow automation: Process Street excels at running workflows — conditional logic, enforced task order, dynamic due dates, and scheduled runs. If you need processes to execute automatically on a schedule, Process Street is purpose-built for this.
- Integrations: Process Street integrates with Zapier, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Power Automate, Tray.io, and Make. Streamline currently has no third-party integrations.
- Mobile apps: Process Street has native iOS and Android apps. Streamline is web-only.
- Enterprise compliance: Process Street holds SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 certifications. For organisations in heavily regulated industries, these certifications may be a hard requirement.
- Established ecosystem: Process Street has been in the market for over 10 years with a mature API, extensive template library, and a large user base.
- Team scale: Process Street handles custom user counts and is designed for organisations with hundreds of users. Streamline currently caps at 10 users on the Pro plan.
Who Should Choose Streamline?
Streamline is the better choice if you:
- Have processes trapped in people's heads that need to be documented quickly
- Want AI to help create, simplify, and optimise your processes — not just store them
- Are a small to mid-sized business (1-10 users) that needs affordable, transparent pricing
- Need friction analysis to identify where your operations are breaking down
- Want to get started immediately without a sales call or demo requirement
- Value data ownership and want a guarantee that your work is always accessible
Who Should Choose Process Street?
Process Street is the better choice if you:
- Already have documented processes and need a platform to run them with automation
- Require conditional logic, approvals, and enforced task order in your workflows
- Need integrations with Slack, Teams, Zapier, or other third-party tools
- Operate in a heavily regulated industry that requires SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 compliance
- Have a large team (50+ users) that needs enterprise-grade access controls
- Need scheduled, recurring workflows that run automatically
The Bottom Line
Process Street and Streamline solve different parts of the same problem. Process Street is a workflow execution platform — it's exceptional at running, automating, and auditing processes that already exist. Streamline is a process creation platform — it's exceptional at getting undocumented processes out of people's heads and into usable, optimised form.
If your biggest challenge is "we have no documentation and need to create it", Streamline is purpose-built for that problem. If your biggest challenge is "we have documentation but need to automate, schedule, and audit it at scale", Process Street is the more mature solution.
For many businesses, the answer is to start with Streamline to create the documentation, then evaluate whether you need Process Street's automation capabilities as you grow.
