6 free alternatives to Activepieces

Builders who need more than 10 active flows or want a different free-tier tradeoff should look elsewhere, because Activepieces stays usable but caps the free plan at a small flow count even while keeping unlimited runs and core features.

Where Activepieces's free tier stops

Activepieces Activepieces' free tier gives you 10 free active flows, plus unlimited runs, AI agents, unlimited MCP servers, unlimited tables, and community support. That means the main stop is the active-flow cap, not execution volume or access to newer AI-oriented features. If your automation needs are broad but still low in count, the free plan can carry you a long way. If you expect to manage more than 10 live flows, or you need more headroom for ongoing growth without moving into paid usage, you will likely need another option.

The alternatives

Autohive

FTV 61 / 100

Autohive's free tier includes unlimited seats for unlimited users, access to top AI providers, 350K monthly credits, 1GB storage, community support, and documentation access. For teams that care about agent-style automation and want room for multiple users without immediate seat limits, that is a broader free starting point than Activepieces' 10-flow cap. It is also no-card to start. Where it trails Activepieces is the workflow-automation shape: Activepieces is centered on active flows, tables, MCP servers, and run volume, while Autohive is oriented more around AI teammates and credits. Switch if you need shared access and AI-agent experimentation more than classic flow orchestration.

  • Beats Activepieces: Unlimited seats for unlimited users
  • Falls short: Less focused on classic workflow-flow management than Activepieces
  • Who should switch: Switch to Autohive if your biggest free-tier constraint is team size, not the number of workflows.

Zapier

FTV 51 / 100

Zapier's free plan gives access to Zaps, Tables, and Forms, with unlimited Zaps, Tables, and Forms subject to a 100-task monthly limit. It also supports two-step Zaps and includes Zapier Copilot with daily message limits. That makes it useful for simple, lightweight automations where you want broad app coverage and a familiar no-code setup. Compared with Activepieces, Zapier beats it on breadth of included product surface because you get Zaps, Tables, and Forms together, even if usage is tight. It falls short on free throughput because the task cap is much stricter than Activepieces' unlimited runs. Choose Zapier if you want familiar automation primitives and can live within a small monthly task budget.

  • Beats Activepieces: Unlimited Zaps, Tables, and Forms within the free plan
  • Falls short: 100 tasks per month is much tighter than Activepieces' unlimited runs
  • Who should switch: Switch to Zapier if you want a mainstream automation stack and your free usage is very light.

Integrately

FTV 41 / 100

Integrately's free plan includes 100 tasks, 15-minute update time, single-step automations, 5 premium apps, 24×5 live chat support, and no webhooks or branching. Its main appeal is simplicity: you can activate prebuilt automations quickly without building much from scratch. Against Activepieces, it wins on having a very direct ready-made automation model and live chat support on the free plan. It loses on flexibility, because it blocks branching, webhooks, and multi-step design, and its task allowance is far smaller than Activepieces' unlimited runs. This is the better choice if you want quick setup and only need a few straightforward automations.

  • Beats Activepieces: Prebuilt automations with live chat support on the free plan
  • Falls short: No branching or webhooks, and only 100 tasks
  • Who should switch: Switch to Integrately if you want the simplest possible free automation setup and do not need complex logic.

Make

FTV 51 / 100

Make's free plan includes 1,000 credits per month, a no-code visual workflow builder, access to 3,000+ apps, routers and filters, customer support, and a 15-minute minimum interval between runs. It is a good fit for builders who want a visual scenario editor with a large app catalog and more routing logic than many starter plans provide. Compared with Activepieces, Make beats it on app breadth and visual scenario tooling. It falls short on recurring free capacity because the credit pool is capped and scheduled runs are slower. If you value a polished visual builder and lots of integrations more than unlimited execution, Make is a strong swap.

  • Beats Activepieces: 3,000+ apps and a visual builder with routers and filters
  • Falls short: Only 1,000 credits per month and a 15-minute minimum run interval
  • Who should switch: Switch to Make if you want a broad integration catalog and a visual scenario builder on a free plan.

Taskade

FTV 38 / 100

Taskade's free plan gives 3,000 one-time starter AI credits, up to 3 live AI apps, access to 500+ community apps, desktop and mobile apps across major platforms, and 500+ community templates. It is especially useful for builders who want to mix automations, apps, and AI work in a single workspace. Compared with Activepieces, Taskade beats it on one-time creative setup and ecosystem variety, especially if you want templates and cloned community apps. It loses on ongoing automation headroom because the credits are one-time, not monthly, and the free account is limited to one user and three live apps. Pick it if you want a lightweight AI workspace rather than sustained workflow execution.

  • Beats Activepieces: 3,000 one-time AI credits plus 500+ community templates
  • Falls short: One-time credits and only 1 user, not an ongoing automation pool
  • Who should switch: Switch to Taskade if you are building AI-centric apps or templates and do not need ongoing monthly credits.

ClickUp

FTV 42 / 100

ClickUp's free tier includes 60 MB of storage, unlimited tasks, unlimited free members, 2FA, collaborative docs, Kanban boards, sprint management, calendar view, basic custom fields, in-app video recording, 24/7 support access, and 1 form. For teams that need work management around automation, this is a broader free workspace than Activepieces' flow-centric model. It wins on collaboration and task organization, especially with unlimited members and a full project workspace. It loses badly on automation depth and storage, since the free storage cap is tiny and the automation limits live in paid plans. Use ClickUp if your immediate need is organizing work with light automation rather than running many connected workflows.

  • Beats Activepieces: Unlimited free members and a full work-management workspace
  • Falls short: Only 60 MB storage and no meaningful free automation depth
  • Who should switch: Switch to ClickUp if your real need is team work management with only light automation needs.
