Activepieces review

Activepieces is an open-source alternative for teams that want predictable costs and the option to self-host. Its homepage lists 770+ pieces, all MIT-licensed, and deployment runs from its own cloud to Docker, Kubernetes or a fully air-gapped network. The pricing page counts one credit per run however many steps it has, with AI steps costing more. Free includes 1,000 credits a month, unlimited flows and up to 5 users; Plus costs $20 flat per month with 10,000 credits, and Team costs $200 per month with 50,000 credits and 25 users. Above the allowance, Plus and Team pay $0.007 per credit, while Free pauses runs until the next day. Builders can describe a step in plain English and let AI write it or drop into TypeScript. The catalog is smaller than Zapier's or Make's, so check that your key apps have pieces before you commit.
