Activepieces is an automation platform with a visual builder for flows, AI agents and tables across 760+ integrations. The core and its integration pieces are MIT-licensed, and plans can run in the cloud or on-premises.

Best for

Teams that want an open-source, self-hostable automation tool with a low-cost cloud plan.

Not for

Buyers who need a niche app connector out of the box, because its 760+ integrations are fewer than the largest catalogues.

How to get your money’s worth

  1. 01The free plan is permanent with 1,000 credits a month and one user, so prototype there first.
  2. 02Bring your own AI model keys to cut AI steps to one credit each instead of 2 to 20.
  3. 03Paid plans charge $0.007 per credit over the allowance, so set alerts before a busy campaign month.
