Make logoMake vs Activepieces logoActivepieces
Activepieces runs this at $0 (free up to 10 active flows with unlimited runs), while Make starts low and rises modestly with volume. The trade-off: Activepieces is open-source and self-hostable but free only up to 10 active flows; Make has the larger catalog (2,594 app connectors vs Activepieces' 754 pieces) and a more mature cloud. Pick by catalog coverage first — at these prices, cost is the tiebreaker, not the decider. See the price table for figures.
