Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Open-source automation: connects applications in visual flows, self-hostable, with AI steps built in.
Who it is for
Teams who want Zapier-style automation on their own infrastructure, without n8n's learning curve.
Where it is strongest
Self-hosted automation for teams who want control over where data goes without a steep learning curve.
Where it falls short
A smaller connector library than the established tools, which is the thing that matters most in this category. Self-hosting is yours to maintain. And it is younger, so edges are rough.
Our verdict
Recommended for self-hosted automation with simple needs. For a large connector library, n8n or Make; for no maintenance, Zapier.
