New to this? What open source means and how to read this page.

What it is

A visual workflow builder with hundreds of integrations and built-in AI agent nodes. You can self-host it for your own use at no licence cost.

Good for

Anything you would build in Zapier, plus agent workflows, with no per-task fee when you host it.

The catch

It is source-available, not open source in the strict sense: the Sustainable Use License limits commercial resale. Self-hosting means you run, update and secure the server.

Facts checked on 12 October 2026. We have not yet run a hands-on test of this tool. When we do, it gets a "Tested" mark here. Approximate US list prices for an individual plan, from third-party price trackers checked on 12 Oct 2026. Monthly billing where it exists. Regions, taxes and promotions change them. Confirm at the vendor before you decide.
