Activepieces
Open-source Zapier that doesn't charge per task
Expert's Tip
"The most underrated automation tool in 2025. Flat-fee pricing with unlimited runs makes the cost model predictable — something Zapier and Make both fail at."
What is Activepieces?
Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform (MIT license) with a Zapier-like interface but a fundamentally different pricing model — flat fee with unlimited workflow runs, no per-task charges. The free tier includes 1,000 tasks/month, 2 active flows, and 200 AI credits. Cloud plans start at $25/month for small teams with unlimited tasks. Self-hosting is completely free with the full platform and no artificial limits.
The fastest-growing open-source Zapier alternative of 2025, with 14,000+ GitHub stars and 270+ community contributors. For growing startups hitting Zapier's task-based pricing ceiling, Activepieces provides relief — build automations freely without counting executions and worrying about overage charges.
Honest limitations: 200+ integrations is solid but far below Zapier's 7,000+. Enterprise governance features (RBAC, SSO, audit logs) are still maturing. Worth testing before paying for Zapier plans.
