Activepieces advertises a flat-rate model where you pay the same regardless of execution volume — its homepage explicitly states '$0 per execution — run millions, pay the same.' This contrasts with Zapier and Make, which meter per task or per operation, causing costs to scale linearly with volume. For high-volume workflows, reviewers on r/automation and G2 repeatedly cite Activepieces as materially cheaper once you move past prototyping. However, only the Free tier ($0/mo) has a publicly listed price. The Pro, Platform, and Enterprise tiers all require contacting sales for a custom flat-rate quote, so direct price-to-price comparison with competitors is not possible without engaging the sales team.
Yes. Activepieces offers a fully self-hosted deployment option that runs on your own infrastructure via Helm charts, Docker, or any major cloud. All data stays inside your network, which is important for regulated industries or strict compliance regimes. Self-hosting also includes free dev and staging environments. The alternative is the managed cloud, which is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant and supports both EU and US data regions.
Activepieces currently supports 689+ integrations (called 'pieces'), including major business apps like Gmail, OpenAI, Slack, Notion, and HubSpot. The catalog covers communication, CRM, marketing, AI models, databases, and more. While smaller than Zapier's 7,000+ app library, the core integrations most teams need are available natively, and the platform allows custom pieces via its open-source SDK if something is missing.
Activepieces includes SAML 2.0 SSO with Google and any SAML identity provider, SCIM user and group provisioning, advanced role-based access control (with distinct Admin and Builder roles), and audit logs. IT admins can also control exactly which pieces and connections are available to specific teams. These features are bundled into the platform rather than sold as separate premium add-ons, which makes it viable for mid-market and enterprise IT without layered costs.
AI agents in Activepieces are intelligent automations that combine an LLM (such as OpenAI), custom instructions, enterprise integrations, and human-in-the-loop approvals. Unlike deterministic flows that execute a fixed sequence of steps, agents can reason about inputs — for example, a Lead Qualifier Agent decides how to process each new lead based on context. The built-in Agent Library ships templates for Support, Sales, Marketing, and everyday tasks (Inbox Zero Bot, Meeting Summarizer, Deadline Tracker, etc.) that teams can deploy immediately.
Activepieces uses a custom flat-rate pricing model for its Pro, Platform, and Enterprise tiers, where the quote depends on factors like team size, deployment type (cloud vs. self-hosted), and support level. Only the Free tier ($0/mo, 1 user, unlimited flows) has a fixed public price. To get pricing for paid tiers, you need to contact their sales team directly. The company emphasizes that all paid tiers maintain the $0-per-execution guarantee, so costs remain predictable once a rate is agreed upon — but upfront price comparison with Zapier or Make's published tiers is not possible without a sales conversation.
