Activepieces

Manual data entry between business tools is draining your team's productive hours. Every day, you're copying information from one app to another, watching for updates, and fixing errors that slip through. As your business grows, these repetitive tasks multiply while SaaS automation platforms lock you into escalating monthly fees and force your sensitive data through their servers. Activepieces gives you complete control over your workflow automation infrastructure. Deploy this open-source platform on your own servers to connect 596+ business apps—from CRM and accounting to marketing and support tools. Build automated workflows with a visual no-code builder that your entire team can use, not just developers. Unlike Make or Zapier charging $20-100+ per month with usage limits, you own your Activepieces instance and pay nothing for the core platform. Add AI-powered workflows to orchestrate complex business processes, trigger actions across multiple apps, and eliminate hours of manual work—all while keeping your data on infrastructure you control. For European businesses facing GDPR compliance requirements, self-hosting isn't optional—it's essential. Activepieces runs in your Docker environment, ensuring your workflow data never leaves your infrastructure. You decide where your data lives, who can access it, and how long it's retained. Vaivatta handles the deployment complexity so you can focus on automating your operations, not managing servers. Deploy once, automate forever, and scale without worrying about vendor pricing walls or data sovereignty risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Activepieces really free to deploy?

Yes, Activepieces is open-source software that you can deploy and use for free. Vaivatta deploys the platform at no cost—you only pay for optional add-ons like automated backups, enterprise SLA guarantees, or priority support. Unlike Make ($9-100+/mo) or Zapier ($20-100+/mo), there are no monthly fees, no per-workflow charges, and no usage limits. You own your instance and control your costs.

What happens to my data when I self-host Activepieces?

Your workflow data stays entirely on infrastructure you control. When you self-host with Vaivatta, we deploy Activepieces on your servers or Finnish data centers—your workflow definitions, execution logs, and connected app credentials never leave your environment. This ensures GDPR compliance and data sovereignty. You decide retention policies, access controls, and where your data physically resides.
