What is Activepieces?

Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform that connects business applications through a visual, no-code flow builder. It serves as a self-hostable alternative to Zapier and Make, offering webhook triggers, cron-scheduled runs, conditional branching, and AI-powered steps — all without per-task pricing. Teams use Activepieces to automate repetitive operations across CRMs, communication tools, databases, and developer platforms using a library of 700+ pre-built connectors called "pieces."

HostAgentes managed Activepieces hosting deploys the open-source Community Edition on dedicated cloud infrastructure — no Docker configuration, no SSL setup, no manual updates. You get a fully isolated Activepieces instance with all pieces enabled, running on resources sized to your workload.

Three hosting tiers: Basic at $9.99/mo (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM) for small teams with lightweight flows; Pro at $29.99 (2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) with team-shared flow libraries and high-frequency webhooks; Scale at $79.99 (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) with multiple workspaces, SSO, and a target 99.9% uptime SLA.

Unlike the official Activepieces Cloud — which meters runs via credits (one credit per run, overage at $0.007/credit) — HostAgentes charges only for the compute resources you provision. High-volume automation teams typically save significantly compared to metered SaaS pricing.

schedule

Cron schedules + webhook triggers

Run flows on exact schedules using native cron syntax, or fire them instantly from incoming webhooks. No shared queues — your dedicated instance handles bursts without delay.

folder_shared

Team-shared flow library

Pro and Scale plans include a shared workspace where the whole ops team can view, clone, and edit flows. Roles and permissions keep critical automations safe.

history

Version control on flows

Every published flow version is stored. Roll back a broken automation to a previous state in one click, without losing your current draft.

psychology

BYOK LLM steps

Drop AI steps into any flow using your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API keys. Summarize emails, classify tickets, draft replies — without a separate AI middleware layer.

Flows defined in code or YAML

Activepieces stores flows as structured JSON under the hood — and you can export, version, and import them as YAML for GitOps workflows. Here is an example of a webhook-triggered flow that posts a Slack message when a Stripe payment succeeds:

stripe-payment-to-slack.yaml 
name: Stripe Payment -> Slack Alert
trigger:
  type: webhook
  piece: "@activepieces/piece-webhook"
  event: payment_intent.succeeded

steps:
  - name: extract_data
    type: code
    input:
      amount: "{{trigger.data.amount}}"
      customer: "{{trigger.data.customer_email}}"

  - name: post_to_slack
    type: action
    piece: "@activepieces/piece-slack"
    action: send_message
    input:
      channel: "#revenue"
      text: |
        Payment received: ${{steps.extract_data.amount / 100}}
        From: {{steps.extract_data.customer}}

Flows can also be built entirely through the visual editor — no YAML required. Export to YAML for version control or to migrate flows between instances.

Why not just use Activepieces Cloud?

Activepieces Cloud meters runs with credits (free plan: 100 credits/day; Plus from $16/mo with 10,000 monthly credits; a usage-based option adds $5 per active flow after 10 free flows). HostAgentes charges for dedicated compute instead — for any team running more than a few thousand runs per month, the economics flip fast.

No per-run billing

Activepieces Cloud pricing is credit-based: one credit per run, 10,000 credits on the $16/mo Plus plan, then $0.007 per extra credit. HostAgentes gives you dedicated resources — run as many flows as your server can handle with no credits and no per-run charges.

Your data, your instance

Each HostAgentes deployment is an isolated instance. Your flow definitions, credentials, and execution logs never share infrastructure with other tenants.

Full Community Edition feature set

We deploy the open-source Community Edition without artificial feature gates. Custom code steps, all pieces, all trigger types — available on every plan.

Managed without the DevOps tax

Self-hosting is free but costs engineer time. HostAgentes handles SSL renewal, version upgrades, backups, and monitoring so your team focuses on building flows.

Frequently asked questions

Doesn't Activepieces Cloud have a free plan?
Yes — Activepieces Cloud has a free plan ($0, 100 credits per day) and its paid Plus plan starts at $16/mo billed yearly with 10,000 monthly credits. But note the metering model: one credit covers a whole run regardless of steps, AI steps burn extra credits (2–20 per step depending on the model, per Activepieces' own pricing page), and going over costs $0.007 per credit — so your automation bill still scales with execution volume on shared cloud infrastructure. Activepieces has also added a usage-based option alongside credits: 10 free active flows, then $5 per active flow per month with unlimited runs. Managed Activepieces hosting on HostAgentes runs the open-source edition on dedicated compute (from $9.99/mo) with no credits, no active-flow caps, and no execution metering at all: the only constraint is your plan's vCPU and RAM. Pricing verified against Activepieces' public pricing page in September 2026.
How much does it cost to host Activepieces?
There are four realistic paths. (1) Self-hosting the Community Edition is free software, but you carry the server and the engineer time (Docker, Postgres, Redis, SSL, updates). (2) Activepieces Cloud starts free (100 credits/day), with Plus at $16/mo billed yearly (10,000 monthly credits, $0.007/credit overage) — and AI steps multiply credit burn (2–20 credits per step) — or the usage-based line at $5 per active flow per month after 10 free flows. (3) A generic VPS or container platform runs the all-in-one image from roughly $9–25/mo by third-party pricing pages (Sliplane €9/mo, Miget via deployable.sh $25/mo), but you manage the database, queues, and updates yourself. (4) HostAgentes managed hosting starts at $9.99/mo for a dedicated instance with unlimited flows and runs — you pay for vCPU/RAM, never per execution.
Which companies offer managed Activepieces hosting?
Beyond Activepieces' own Cloud, several independent providers host the open-source edition: Opsily (Germany-based, GDPR/EU-residency focused), Corehost (from $3.90/mo, per its pricing page), Sliplane (a managed container platform, €9/mo for a 2 vCPU / 2 GB setup), and Miget via the deployable.sh template ($25/mo flat). HostAgentes is the option purpose-built for AI-agent and automation stacks: a dedicated isolated Activepieces instance with SSL, backups, automatic updates, and monitoring included — and unlike credit-metered cloud plans, no execution metering at all. Vendor prices are from their own sites as of September 2026 and change often — verify before committing.
Does Activepieces work with AI agents and MCP?
Yes — and this is where Activepieces has expanded beyond classic workflow automation. Recent releases added AI agents (reasoning steps that can call your flows as tools), chat-to-automation flow drafting, and native MCP (Model Context Protocol) support: flows and pieces can be exposed as MCP servers that assistants like Claude Desktop or Cursor call directly, and per Activepieces' own pricing page every cloud plan includes Agents and MCPs. This matters for hosting choice: agent workloads are burstier and more compute-hungry than simple cron automations, which is exactly why running Activepieces on dedicated resources (HostAgentes) beats sharing metered cloud capacity. HostAgentes also offers Paperclip for dedicated multi-agent orchestration — the two pair well, with Activepieces handling app integrations and Paperclip handling agent reasoning.
What makes Activepieces different from Zapier?
Activepieces is fully open-source (MIT licensed) and self-hostable, which means no per-task pricing and no vendor lock-in. Zapier charges per task — costs escalate quickly for high-volume automations. Activepieces also ships a native visual flow builder with branching, loops, and custom code steps that Zapier's basic tier lacks. On HostAgentes, you get the open-source power of Activepieces on fully managed infrastructure, without the overhead of running it yourself.
Can I run self-hosted Activepieces on HostAgentes?
Yes — that's exactly what HostAgentes does. We deploy the open-source Activepieces Community Edition on dedicated cloud infrastructure with your own isolated instance. You get the full self-hosted feature set (all pieces, all triggers, custom code steps, unlimited flows) without the work of managing Docker, SSL, or server updates. Your data stays in your instance, not in Activepieces Inc's cloud.
Do webhook flows count against plan limits?
No. HostAgentes does not count tasks or flow executions. All plans include unlimited runs and unlimited flows. The only constraint is the compute capacity of your chosen plan (vCPU and RAM). If your webhook volume grows to the point where the Basic plan's 1 vCPU is saturated, upgrading to Pro or Scale gives you more headroom — but you're paying for resources, never for executions.
Can Activepieces flows call Paperclip agents?
Yes. Activepieces has an HTTP request step that can POST to any REST API, including Paperclip's agent endpoints. A typical pattern: an Activepieces flow collects structured data from a webhook or form, sends it to a Paperclip agent for reasoning or generation, then routes the response back into Slack, a CRM, or a database. The two products are complementary — Activepieces handles integration plumbing, Paperclip handles the AI orchestration layer.
Is data stored in the EU?
HostAgentes operates on multi-region cloud infrastructure. If EU data residency is a requirement for your organization, contact us before signing up and we will provision your Activepieces instance in a European region. The Scale plan is the recommended tier for compliance-sensitive deployments, as it includes audit logs and SSO for access control.
