Activepieces
Open-source AI workflow automation for teams that need a visual builder, AI agents, connected apps, deployment choice, and governance controls.
About Activepieces
Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform built for teams that want to create AI-assisted automations across the business applications they already use. Its visual builder supports flows, AI agents, MCP servers, human approval steps, custom code, API calls, webhooks, tables, and reusable integrations called pieces. The current site presents more than 700 integrations, including Gmail, Slack, OpenAI, Notion, HubSpot, and Google Sheets, so teams can connect common communication, productivity, CRM, and AI services without building every connector themselves. The platform is designed for use across HR, finance, marketing, sales, support, and operations, while giving IT a way to supervise access and deployment. Activepieces can run in its managed cloud or on infrastructure operated by the customer. The self-hosted Community Edition is MIT licensed and includes the core features, but it requires technical skills to deploy and maintain. For organizations that need governance, the Ultimate plan adds team and personal projects, piece access controls, global connections, custom RBAC, SSO, and audit logs. Cloud pricing is based on active flows rather than execution volume: Standard includes 10 active flows at no charge and then costs $5 per active flow per month, with unlimited runs. Ultimate uses a custom annual contract. This structure can suit teams with a manageable number of long-running automations, but costs rise as more flows remain active. Activepieces is strongest when business teams need a no-code route to automation and AI agents while technical owners still require deployment choice, extensibility, and governance. It is a less convenient fit for a small personal setup that values a fully managed consumer experience above self-hosting and organizational controls.
Best for
Best use cases
Route information between Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, or HubSpot when a recurring business event occurs.
Create an AI agent that can use connected tools, keep an activity record, and pause for a person to approve a sensitive step.
Run frequently used automations without execution charges while controlling cost through the number of active flows.
Compare before choosing
Compared with execution-metered automation services, Standard offers unlimited runs but charges as the active-flow count grows.
Compared with a fully managed consumer automation app, self-hosting provides infrastructure control but adds deployment and maintenance work.
Compared with code-only orchestration, the visual builder broadens access for business teams while custom code and open pieces retain extensibility.
Features
Cross-app business workflows
Connect Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, webhooks, and other pieces to move information and trigger repeatable work across teams.
AI agents with oversight
Build agents that use connected tools and AI steps, record their work, and pause for human approval when a workflow requires review.
Governed team automation
Give business teams a visual builder while IT manages deployment, project boundaries, connection access, roles, SSO, and audit records.
Pros
- Unlimited runs on Standard reduce the cost impact of workflows that execute frequently.
- More than 700 integrations cover common business and AI tools, while open pieces and custom code support extension.
- Cloud and self-hosted deployment choices let organizations balance managed operation against infrastructure control.
Cons
- Standard costs $5 per active flow per month after the first 10, so a growing set of enabled workflows raises monthly spend.
- Community Edition requires technical skills for deployment, upgrades, monitoring, and ongoing infrastructure maintenance.
- Advanced governance such as custom RBAC, SSO, access controls, and audit logs is tied to the custom annual Ultimate plan.
