Activepieces

Activepieces is an open-source automation platform for building flows, AI agents, tables, and MCP-connected workflows. The official pricing page says every plan can run in the vendor cloud or on the customer’s own servers, and that integrations are available across plans. It uses credits as the billing unit for workflow runs and offers a free tier alongside paid plans.

✨ Key Features

• Build visual automation flows — Create flows that connect triggers, actions, and app integrations without writing every integration from scratch.
• Use 760+ integrations — The official page advertises more than 760 integrations, while the available pieces and templates provide reusable building blocks for common workflows.
• Create AI agents and chat automations — Activepieces lists flows, agents, chat, tables, MCPs, and API access as core products, allowing AI-assisted steps to sit inside an automation.
• Connect AI clients through MCP — Pieces can be exposed as MCP servers, so AI clients can call automation capabilities through a standardized tool connection.
• Store workflow data in Tables — Tables are included as a product for storing and using structured data as part of automated workflows.
• Run in the cloud or self-hosted — The pricing page states that plans can run in Activepieces Cloud or on the customer’s own servers at the same price; hosting choice determines where the platform runs.
• Bring your own AI keys — Plus and higher plans list support for using the customer’s own AI keys, which can be useful for teams controlling model credentials and spend.
• Manage team governance — Team and Ultimate plans add features such as more users, projects, SSO, roles, audit logs, Git Sync, dedicated workers, or support depending on the plan.
