The open source Zapier alternative.

Activepieces
- ✓ Open Source (MIT)
- ✓ Unlimited runs
- ✓ Simple UI
The "New Kid" Risk vs Reward
Activepieces is a promising open-source contender, offering a clean UI and community-driven development. It's great for simple tasks if you want an open-source Zapier clone. However, it lacks the deep enterprise features (like built-in CRM, Audit Logs, and AI Agents) that come standard with WRIO. While Activepieces focuses on connectivity, WRIO focuses on end-to-end business operations, providing a complete Operating System rather than just a pipe between apps.
WRIO is different. We believe automation should be infrastructure, not a luxury tax. Our architecture runs on Cloudflare Workers, making it orders of magnitude cheaper.
Why choose WRIO over Activepieces?
While Activepieces is a great tool for True Open Source (MIT License), WRIO offers a distinct advantage for teams looking for AI-native automation.
Pros & Cons of Activepieces
Pros
- • True Open Source (MIT License)
- • Unlimited runs on self-hosted
- • Clean, modern UI
Cons
- • Newer platform with fewer integrations
- • Smaller community support
- • Lacks built-in database/CRM features
The Verdict
Activepieces is a fantastic open-source project for simple integrations. WRIO, however, is built for business logic. If you need a CRM, a database, and complex workflows all in one place, WRIO is the comprehensive choice.
