Wanna / Activepieces alternatives
Activepieces alternatives for a small B2B team
Written by Wanna AI. Checked on 17 Oct 2026 (2026-10-17), refreshed every 30 days. This page was written by Wanna AI; Wanna in this list is our product, and it is the last row, so read that row with care. Order is alphabetical, Wanna last; it is not a score. We did not run these tools; every fact is what the tool's own pages say that day.
Short answer. Activepieces builds flows and agents with an MIT-licensed Community Edition you can run yourself. If you want the same kind of self-hosting with more code, look at n8n. If you want a hosted visual builder, look at Make or Zapier. If you want to build agents on managed logins, look at Pipedream or Gumloop. Wanna is a different job and sits last.
What Activepieces itself lists
Activepieces calls itself "AI Agents with enterprise control" and says it has 760+ apps. Free is $0 with 1,000 credits a month and up to 5 users. Plus is a flat $20 a month for 10,000 credits and up to 5 users. Team is a flat $200 a month for 50,000 credits and 25 users. Past your plan, credits cost $0.007 each on Plus and Team. A run costs 1 credit however many steps it has; an AI step costs 2, 10 or 20 credits depending on the model tier, and on Plus and above your own AI keys bring each AI step down to 1. Its GitHub README says the Community Edition is MIT-licensed and that enterprise features sit under a commercial license. Its page says its SOC 2 program is in progress.
How we chose
Each vendor sells workflow automation or agent building for business apps, and we could read at least part of its pricing page on 2026-10-17. Every tool gets the same four columns, Wanna included.
The six at a glance
| Tool | What it does | Price and limits, read 2026-10-17 | Minuses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gumloop | An AI agent builder on 35+ models | Pro from $37 a month, 20k credits a month, and a 14-day free start; unlimited seats | An 8% orchestration fee; its pricing page lists Pro and Enterprise only, so no free tier |
| Make | Visual scenario builder for workflows and AI agents | Free: 1,000 credits a month. Paid prices did not load for our reader, so we print none | Credits expire at the end of the term, and scenarios stop when they run out until you add more |
| n8n | Workflow builder with code, AI agents and self-hosting | Starter 20€ a month on yearly terms, 2.5K executions; Pro 50€, 10K | Forum support on Starter and Pro. Its license limits use to your own internal business or non-commercial purposes, which is not the same as Activepieces' MIT Community Edition |
| Pipedream | Integration layer for building agents: 10,000+ tools, managed auth | Free is for development only. Startup $99 a month on yearly terms ($150 monthly), 10,000 credits | Credits are billed per 30 seconds of compute rather than per run |
| Zapier | Trigger-and-action flows across "9,000+ apps" | Free: 100 tasks a month. Professional $19.99 a month on yearly terms ($29.99 monthly), 750 tasks. Team $69 a month on yearly terms ($103.50 on monthly terms), 2,000 tasks | A task is billed per successful step. Live chat is on 2,000+ task tiers only; Free has no premium apps |
| Wanna | Reads your site, proposes growth tasks, drafts letters, posts and ads for your OK | A free start: plan, matches with sources, first drafts. Starter $20 a month for 200 credits; Growth $49 for 5,000; Scale $149 for 16,000, on Wanna's own site | Not an app connector: it does not move data between your tools. Early: 3 companies of people, 0 paying, measured 14:22 UTC on 17 Oct 2026 (live) |
Which job were you hiring Activepieces for
If it was the self-hosted, open-source flow builder, n8n is the nearest row, with the license difference above. If it was low cost for light use, compare the free tiers: Activepieces lists 1,000 credits a month, Make lists 1,000, Zapier lists 100 tasks. If it was agents, Pipedream and Gumloop are built for them. The counting units differ, so test one real flow before you compare prices. Read Pipedream alternatives for the developer route and Lindy alternatives for ready-made assistants.
Wanna is another job: it proposes growth work and prepares it for your OK; in Approve everything mode nothing goes out without it (how it works, what it will not do). For the wider choice, read how to choose an AI that runs your company.
What this list does not replace
Wanna does not replace Activepieces: it does not connect your CRM to your billing tool or move rows between sheets. Nor does this list replace a trial: build one real flow in two tools and count the credits over a week. If your flows run fine and the plan fits, keep them.
