What is Activepieces?
Activepieces is a workflow automation tool in the same family as Zapier, Make and n8n. It builds flows, agents, tables and MCP connections, and its integrations (called pieces) are open-source TypeScript. The company describes the product as "open source at the core, with self-hosting on every plan."
Pricing is counted in credits. Activepieces says one run costs one credit regardless of how many steps it has, while AI steps cost more (2, 10 or 20 credits depending on the model tier). Paid plans can bring their own AI keys, which brings each AI step down to one credit.
The free plan includes 1,000 credits, unlimited flows and up to five users. The Plus plan is $20 per month for 10,000 credits, and the Team plan is $200 per month for 50,000 credits with 25 users included.
