Activepieces
No-code automation with a Zapier-like UI and an MIT-licensed core.
88
sovereigntyActivepieces is a no-code automation platform whose builder feels close to Zapier: pick a trigger, add action steps, connect apps. Its core is MIT-licensed and self-hostable via Docker, and it has a growing catalog of community "pieces" (integrations) plus AI steps. Some advanced/enterprise features sit under a separate commercial license, so read the LICENSE if you need those. For teams that want a familiar no-code experience they can host themselves, it is a strong balance of openness and ease.

What it does well
- +MIT-licensed core, OSI-approved and genuinely open
- +No-code builder that is close in feel to Zapier, easing the transition
- +Self-hostable with Docker; workflows and data stay on your infrastructure
- +Active project with a fast-growing library of community integrations and AI steps
Where it falls short
- −Some advanced/enterprise features are under a separate commercial license, not MIT
- −Integration catalog, while growing quickly, is smaller than Zapier's
- −Self-hosting means you run and update the stack yourself
- −Younger project than Node-RED, so some pieces are still maturing
