Activepieces
An open-source, no-code automation tool positioned as a self-hostable Zapier alternative.
Activepieces is an MIT-licensed automation platform with a visual builder, a growing library of connectors, and AI steps built in. Its open licence (more permissive than several peers) and clean self-hosting are its main draw.
It aims squarely at teams who want the Zapier experience without the hosted-only model or the per-task bill.
Where it fits
A fit when you want a genuinely open-source, self-hosted, no-code automation tool with a permissive licence.
Where it does not fit
A younger connector catalogue than the incumbents: check that the integrations you need exist before committing.
