Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free plan, and what does it include?

Yes. The free tier supports up to 10 active flows, AI agents, MCP connections, custom code steps, and 1,000 task executions per month—no credit card required.

Yes. Activepieces is open-source (MIT licensed) and can be deployed on your own infrastructure, giving your team full control over data, security, and customisation.

No. The drag-and-drop workflow builder is designed for non-technical users. Developers can optionally add custom code steps for advanced logic without disrupting the visual flow.

AI agents in Activepieces can take autonomous, multi-step actions across connected tools and pause for human approval at defined checkpoints—combining automation speed with human oversight.
