Wanna / Pipedream alternatives
Pipedream 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. Pipedream's home page now calls it "the integration layer for AI agents," and its page shows an SDK install line. If you want a visual builder for the same kind of flows, look at Make or Zapier. If you want to self-host, look at n8n or Activepieces. If you want an agent builder with a flat monthly fee, look at Gumloop. Wanna is a different job and sits last.
What Pipedream itself lists
Pipedream says it offers "managed auth and 10,000+ tools across 3,000+ APIs." Its Free tier is for development only: no production environment, no production external users, no SLAs. Startup is $99 a month on yearly terms ($150 on monthly terms) with 10,000 credits, then $0.012 each, and 100 external users included, then $2 each. Business is custom. A credit is used by running an action or calling a tool, at 1 credit per 30 seconds of compute. Support is community on Free, email on Startup, and a dedicated Slack channel on Business.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Activepieces | Flows and agents across "760+ apps"; Community Edition is MIT-licensed | Free: 1,000 credits a month, up to 5 users. Plus $20 a month, 10,000 credits. Team $200, 50,000 credits, 25 users | An AI step costs 2 to 20 credits. Support is community on Free and Plus. Its GitHub README lists fewer pieces (280+) than its site |
| 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. Its page says paid plans exist, but the price table did not load for our reader, so we print no paid prices | 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. The software is under the Sustainable Use License, for your own internal business or non-commercial use |
| 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 |
| 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 integration layer: it does not run your code or move data between apps.

Which job were you hiring Pipedream for
If it was giving your own code or an agent access to many apps with managed login, the closest rows are n8n, Activepieces and Gumloop, which let you add code or agents inside a builder. If it was connecting two apps without writing code, Zapier and Make are built for that, and the cost shape differs: Zapier counts tasks, Make and Activepieces count credits, n8n counts whole workflow runs, and Pipedream counts compute time. Read Activepieces alternatives for the open-source 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 Pipedream: it runs no code of yours and exposes no tools to your agents. Nor does this list replace a trial: build one real workflow in two tools and see what it uses over a week. If your Pipedream workflows run and the credit bill is acceptable, keep them.
FAQ
What are the best Pipedream alternatives? It depends on the job. n8n and Activepieces suit people who want to self-host, Zapier and Make suit people who want a visual builder, Gumloop suits people who build agents. We do not rank them.
