Activepieces vs Automatisch — pricing & features compared

Activepieces vs Automatisch logo

Automatisch

Two open-source, self-hostable tools with different reach. Activepieces pairs an MIT license with a Zapier-like no-code UI and about 747 integrations, and is free on its cloud free tier; Automatisch is AGPL-licensed, deliberately minimal (about 50 integrations, no AI) and simple to self-host. On our figures Activepieces runs at no cost on its free tier while Automatisch's cost is your server bill — see the table. Choose Activepieces for breadth and UI, Automatisch for a lean, EU-friendly footprint. See the price table below for figures.

An objective cost comparison from each vendor's public pricing pages (June 2026) — not a recommendation; rankings reflect price only, so verify current pricing before deciding. We run an affiliate link for Make (the only one of these tools with a public referral program); the others don't offer one, so those are plain links — affiliate status never affects the comparison.
