Fit and scores (1–5) are editorial judgements. How we score
Why people pay for it
- More credits and pay-as-you-go overage
- Bring-your-own AI keys
- Team seats, projects and SSO
Reasons to keep paying
The honest case for Activepieces. If these matter to you, don't switch.
- Self-hosting with an open-source core keeps data on your own servers
- Flows can expose MCP tools to AI assistants
Risks to know about
- lowvendor lock in
Open-source core makes self-hosting a fallback.
- mediumsensitive data
Cloud runs pass data through Activepieces' servers.
- data portability: moderate
Flows export as JSON and the open-source edition can be self-hosted, but flows only run on Activepieces.
