Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Activepieces Community Edition is MIT-licensed — free to self-host with no ops limits, no workflow caps, and no restrictions on commercial use. You only pay for the server (~$4–$8/mo).
Both are free self-hosted tools. n8n has more integrations (400+ vs ~200), AI/LLM nodes, and code steps. Activepieces has a simpler UI closer to Zapier and uses MIT license (more permissive than n8n's Sustainable Use License). Choose n8n for developers, Activepieces for non-technical teams.
Activepieces is much cheaper and self-hostable (great for GDPR). Zapier has 7,000+ integrations vs Activepieces' ~200. If the integrations you need are available in Activepieces, it's the better choice on cost and data control.
Activepieces Cloud does not have a free plan, but the self-hosted community edition is completely free. Cloud Starter starts at $10/mo with 5,000 ops and unlimited workflows.
