Zapier vs Activepieces — pricing & features compared

Zapier vs Activepieces logo

Activepieces

Activepieces runs this at $0 (free up to 10 active flows, then $5 per flow, unlimited runs); Zapier's strength is its catalog — 9,000+ integrations vs about 750. If your apps are covered by Activepieces' smaller, open-source catalog, it's the lower-cost option by a wide margin; if you need a niche integration only Zapier has, no discount replaces it. See the price table for figures.

FAQ

Common questions

From published pricing, Activepieces is the lower-cost option across the volumes we track — $0 vs $73.5 at 1,000 runs/mo, and $0 vs $1,149 at 100,000. Figures include overage where it applies — see the table above. Price is one factor; the feature and trade-off sections cover the rest.

In Zapier, one task = one action step — a 3-step Zap triggered 100 times consumes 300 tasks. Activepieces doesn't meter runs at all — pricing is per active flow, with unlimited executions.

Activepieces yes — self-hosting makes it nearly free at any volume. Zapier is cloud-only.

When you need breadth or polish. About 750 integrations cover the popular apps, but Zapier's 9,000+ catalog is the deepest here — often the only one with a niche or regional tool — plus the largest template library and a no-code editor tuned for non-technical users.

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.
