Activepieces
AI-first automation for every team
Overview
Activepieces covers the same ground as tools like Zapier or Make, drag-and-drop automation across hundreds of apps, but leans into AI agents as a first-class piece of the workflow rather than a bolt-on. It's open source at its core, which means there's a genuinely free self-hosted Community Edition for teams comfortable running their own infrastructure, alongside a managed cloud option for everyone else.
The pricing model is unusual in a good way: you get 10 free active flows, then pay $5 a month per active flow with unlimited runs on each. That means a business with a handful of critical automations pays a flat, predictable amount regardless of how often those automations fire, which is friendlier than per-task pricing once your volume grows. Ultimate tier pricing is custom and aimed at larger teams needing SSO, RBAC, and audit logs, so smaller teams can likely stay on Standard indefinitely.
Key Features
700+ Integrations: Connects to Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, OpenAI, and hundreds more.
AI Agent Builder: Build agents for tasks like lead qualification and customer support directly in workflows.
Unlimited Runs: Pay per active flow, not per execution, so volume doesn't spike your bill.
Self-Hosting Option: Free Community Edition for teams that want full control of their infrastructure.
Enterprise Security: SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, and custom RBAC on the Ultimate tier.
Drag-and-Drop Builder: Build multi-step workflows visually without writing code.
