Low-code automation vs visual process documentation
Kissflow is a low-code business process automation (BPM/BPA) platform. Its drag-and-drop visual canvas is used to build the executable workflow itself: steps, approvers, conditions and business rules. It is designed to digitise complex processes with multiple approvals (procurement, HR, finance) and replace spreadsheets or email chains.
Mapaflow doesn't automate workflows: it documents and visualises processes so anyone in the company understands them at a glance. The diagram with ISO 5807/BPMN 2.0 notation is the documentation itself, with the procedure (SOP) linked to each step. If your main goal is for a new employee to understand "how we do this here", Mapaflow solves that without the complexity of configuring a workflow engine.
Pricing: public transparency
Kissflow does not publish pricing on its website (the pricing page describes its "pricing philosophy" and redirects to a sales consultation request). This is common in platforms aimed at complex enterprise automation, but makes it harder to compare costs upfront.
Mapaflow publishes its three plans transparently: Free (3 diagrams, no credit card), Individual (€9.95/month) and Business (€19.95/month base + €3/additional creator). You can calculate the exact cost for your team without talking to anyone.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Kissflow cost?
Kissflow does not publish public pricing on its website; its pricing page redirects to a sales consultation. Mapaflow, on the other hand, publishes its three plans with exact prices.
Does Kissflow have visual process mapping like Mapaflow?
Kissflow has a drag-and-drop visual canvas, but its purpose is to build the executable workflow (with logic, approvers and conditions), not to document the process with standard notation readable by anyone. Mapaflow uses ISO 5807/BPMN 2.0 notation designed specifically for visual understanding.
Does Kissflow have a Spanish interface?
Yes, Kissflow offers its interface in Spanish among 20+ supported languages. Mapaflow is natively built in Spanish (as well as Basque, Portuguese, Catalan and Galician), with support and documentation in Spanish from day one.
Can I use Mapaflow and Kissflow together?
It's possible: document a process map in Mapaflow as a visual reference, and use Kissflow to automate the execution of that same process if you need approvals and digital workflows. They are tools with different, complementary purposes.
