| Human in the loop | Comprehensive | Present, but developer-focused |
| Integration | REST, webhooks, 100+ tools | API-based, manual configuration |

Conclusion
<strong>Camunda</strong> is an excellent choice for developer teams that need full control over code and want to implement complex, code-based workflows.
<strong>FireStart</strong> is ideal for organizations that want to digitize processes without programming. Thanks to low-code/no-code, business departments can model and automate processes themselves – in days instead of months.
Both platforms use BPMN 2.0. The difference lies in the target group: <strong>FireStart enables business users to do what Camunda enables developers.</strong>
