Frequently Asked Questions

Does Flowise have a free plan?

Yes. Flowise offers a free cloud tier that includes a limited number of flows, monthly predictions, and storage — enough to experiment and prototype. Paid plans unlock higher limits and additional features.

Can I self-host Flowise?

Yes. Because Flowise is open-source, you can deploy it on your own infrastructure — including air-gapped environments. Self-hosting gives you full control over data, credentials, and scaling.

Which LLMs and models does Flowise support?

Flowise connects to 100+ language models, including major proprietary providers and open-source models. You can mix and match models within the same workflow depending on cost, capability, or latency needs.

Do I need coding skills to use Flowise?

Basic use cases can be built entirely through the visual builder with no code. Developers can go further by injecting custom code nodes, using the TypeScript/Python SDKs, or calling the REST API for programmatic control.

What is the difference between Assistant, Chatflow, and Agentflow?

Assistant is the simplest entry point — a beginner-friendly builder for single agents that follow instructions and use tools. Chatflow offers more flexibility for advanced single-agent patterns like Graph RAG and reranking. Agentflow is the most powerful mode, designed for multi-agent systems, complex orchestration, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
