Activepieces Reviews & Product Details

Activepieces addresses the need for efficient automation in digital marketing, particularly in managing email campaigns through ConvertKit and generating AI responses with GPT. By automating these tasks, it saves considerable time and effort, allowing me to focus on strategic initiatives. The integration with ConvertKit streamlines email marketing, while the GPT-powered responses enhance customer interaction and personalization. This results in increased productivity, better targeting, and more effective campaigns, ultimately boosting overall marketing performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Active Pieces typically has fewer integrations compared to Zapier, which supports thousands of apps. This limitation means that we might not find all the apps we need to connect workflows.

But i hope they bring maximum integrations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The intuitive interface, diverse functionalities, powerful integrations like ChatGPT, efficiency gains, and collaborative community aspect make Activepieces a valuable tool that has positively impacted our E-commerce operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup and learning how to utilize all the features efficiently can be a bit complex and time-consuming.

Although Activepieces integrates with a variety of apps and platforms, there may be certain specific integrations that are not readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Activepieces is a breath of fresh air when you compare it to the currently established Business Automation Tools, The fact it's Opensource and provides the ability to deploy a fully featured self hosted environment of AP free of charge allowing you to have as many flows as you want, for as many runs as you need is extremely competitive in the market and quite generous of the AP team.

AP offers many of the essential BA tools that you would need, Such as webhooks, Integrations with many common Google services such as Excel/Drive/Gmail and much more. And the interface provided is quite simple and clean, only showing the important details relevant to the current piece/flow you're working with.

And the best part is that it's only going to get better and larger! every week the team anounces new Pieces ready to be used in AP either from the awesome community contributors ( yey opensource! ) or the AP team themselves! So it's only a matter of time until AP catches up with industry giants like Zapier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more detailed documentation for AP. I've struggled with some Pieces that had no documentation on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Activepieces is a great alternative to the more expensive automation options. I'm by no means an expert in this field, creating only basic automations for my clients needs, but Activepieces makes it easy with their integrations and no code flow builder. I find the automations run well with any errors (made by me!) easily found within the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Activepieces is simple to use, it does not have the same ease of use and clear UI of the 'king' of automation, Zapier. But then when you look at the price difference, that is a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make! Plus Activepieces are constantly developing and are active on their Discord server so I can see their offering improving over time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Activepieces has been the easiest and most user friendly automation software I've used, I've found it extremely easy to set up flows and get automations up and running in a very short space of time.

The community site and discord servers are very active and have lots of information, definitely worth checking out if you ever get stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the documentation can be quite vague around pieces, it's definitely improving but showing use cases of how core pieces can be implemented would be really helpful. Luckily there are examples from users on youtube that show this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- User-friendly, even for those without technical skills

- Highly flexible and powerful, with options to add code when needed

- Open-source, allowing for customization and extension

- Affordable pricing

- Supported by strong funding and a talented team

- AI assistance for adding code as needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to be super critical, the documentation could be more a little more comprehensive. However, updates are in progress, and the active Discord community is super helpful for urgent questions. I’m confident the documentation will improve over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The custom code piece that allows you to use javascript and npm packages for lots of flexibility. *update: the new ai hints for custom code is fantastic! Also, the custom API builder got some nice improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*update after 6+ months: the team has been constantly updating the system and adding new integrations. The limited amount of native integrations available, which means you end up having to read the API docs for your apps and write the code yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to get started. Major applications in the cloud have their components, and it's easy to integrate with any of them. As a developer, I'm also very happy to have an open ecosystem to work with. I can self-host the application, deploy it privately, and develop custom components for very specific projects while reusing common ones.

Modifications to existing components get approved quickly. Adding new components is relatively easy because all the building blocks already exist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer, most of the time I can figure things out by looking at the code or searching the web for technical details. Documentation is probably the area where Activepieces still needs to improve, especially the online documentation. A good example is how to get ClientID and Secret from some integrations. Either the steps are absent or obsolete, which makes it a bit longer to integrate those flows.

Otherwise, the number of components and actions is behind Make or Zapier. But it is certainly growing rapidly, and as a developer, I'm very happy to contribute a little in that area with development in Odoo, Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all it is open Source, So lot many developers are contributing the project.

Fastest growing workflow automation against Zapier, Pabbly, Make

Creating pieces is open for all, also can create custom pieces, so both beneficial for public and private usecases

Overall I had the best experience with ActivePieces Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They dont have GUI editor to make pieces, like Pabbly have, If they can bring this thing, I expect more pieces creators can build, without coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It's open source so you can host it yourself. Their hosted version is awesome too with very competitive pricing.

- Integrations and autorhization with external services are handled very well.

- Community driven product with lots of contributors adding new "Pieces" (or integrations) all the time.

- You can develop your own pieces or integrations and then share them with the community!

- Lots of UX/UI improvements in the past months that make it really easy to integrate and debug flows (including incomining/outgoing webhooks which are a pain to impkement in some platforms) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Some pieces are still missing some functionality depending on the third party service they connect to, so if you need to implement something specific be sure to check the related pieces documentation to see if the actions you need are supported (or, if you have a developer on hand, just go ahead and implement the required actions) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, even for non-technical users

Flexible and powerful, with the ability to add code where needed

Open-source, so you can customize and extend the tool

Affordable

Strong funding and a talented team behind the project

The use of AI to help add code when needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation could be more comprehensive; however, I can already see some updates coming, and the Discord is quite active when I have any pressing questions. I know that with time, it will be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UPDATE: I'm confident that Activepieces is a solid product, simply because automations are relatively easy to use (no-code/low-code) and their pricing is fair, which has been updated. Also, I've been really impressed by the community as people seem engaged and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside is quite small (just missing some integrations) since I know they're speeding things up by creating integrations with AI!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's open source so the possibilities are endless. This tool is so user friendly that it literally guids you through every steps so the chanes of making a mistakes goes down tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lesser integration and no direct support. Instead they have a community where people can share their concerns. Maybe they should have direct chatbot or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I switched from using Zapier to connect my CRM with LemonSqueezy, and I haven't looked back since. Activepieces is incredibly user-friendly, with a simple and easy-to-navigate UI. Unlike Zapier, it's not only more straightforward but also faster. The pricing plans offered by Activepieces are reasonable for my new business, making it a perfect fit for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it is perfect for my businss and needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used most well-knownautomation tools, and I use Activepieces' cloud version (I got the one their initial launching LTD limit) which works exceptionally well.

As of now, the situation has improved

- Solving our core problem that is not enough to cover actual usage limit.

The ActivePieces team provides consistently direct, transparent, and engaged support, mirroring the enthusiasm of 'their active community'.

- ActivePieces continues to be updated based on community feedback and direction.

Above all, UI/UX of workflow builder(setting automation) is the best part 'easy to integrate' other than automation tools I have used.

Set up implement is not complicated and spending time is decent. The error rate is acceptable so far compared to other services.

Therefore,

Its performance is solid and promising as much as other well-known services, making it a reliable choice.

In Short ActivePieces is regularly updated, ensuring it stays on the cutting edge and coping any emerging needs or issues promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Early Stage Development - Activepieces just 1 year old

ActivePieces is in an earlier stage of development compared to its competitors.

This could not mean potential risks or instability, it means that connect tool(pecies) shoud add more and more for 'Total number of pieces.' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I live how simple to use is to create the flows, there are already numerous very useful "pieces" to create flows, I like that the app is well thought out and is easy to use and fast, and also the fact that is getting better all the time as is in constant development right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of mobile app and their website is not really adapted to phone use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First and foremost being open source is what I love the most. It allows the community to contribute their most desired features and makes it affordable for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I submitted a feature request to add an integration for SavvyCal, and it does not look like the contributers had time yet for it. Perhaps I will take a stab at it myself someday and raise a PR! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am seriously impressed with the Active Pieces team and the huge progress they have made in such a short period since launching shaping up to be a real contender to Zapier and Make. The flexibility of the smaller team allows for faster development and had a range of the new OpenAI modules before Make did! This shows they listen to their customers and build accordingly. Support is amazing, and have personally spoken with the team and they go out of their way to help. Really excited for what the future holds, this is a gem in automations. Thank you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As they are still building they do lack some ability in applications like Google Docs as compared to the big comapnies like Make or Zapier but I am not worried, they release updates all the time and know it will come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standout feature of Activepieces is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies automation for even non-tech-savvy users. It's incredibly helpful for new entrepreneurs due to its ease of setting up complex workflows. The platform offers robust integration options, allowing seamless connectivity between various apps. This level of customization and flexibility is a significant upside, enabling users to tailor their automation needs precisely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One potential downside of Activepieces could be its limited recognition compared to more established platforms like Zapier. This lesser-known status may lead to fewer community resources and user guides available, which can be a hurdle for new users seeking community-based support or advanced troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Active Pieces, a Y Combinator business, offers great automation deals. Initially, I purchased 200,000 automations per month for life, and liked it so much that I upgraded to 10 million automations monthly, reducing costs from other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main challenge is the heavy use of API calls and webhooks, which may be difficult for non-technical users, though more native pieces are being added daily. It's honestly not a huge deal because folks can learn to use AI to read the API docs and write the snippets needed to connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the tool is really easy to use to build the flows. It has great tools that are really helpful in the building: version control, log of the runs, testing of each step, and more!

With the support of the community, the number of pieces to use in your integrations are growing each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me as developer, I think it lacks some flexibility in building the pieces. For instance, things like:

- it could offer multiple ways of authenticate in one piece

- passing data to being used inside of a piece

The whitelabel allows you to customize at some level, but it could be extended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how intuitive Active Pieces is when creating flows. I also like the price point compared to competitors in the automation space and the number of tasks you get is amazing at this price point. Also the fact that Active Pieces is Open Source is a huge selling point for us as transparency and authenticity is a huge factor when deciding a company to invest in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hopefully just a matter of time, but more integrations are required for Active Pieces to fulfill our workflow needs, however they do have an API and Webhooks so with the right know-how most integrations are already available, but would like the process to be fast and as simple as possible to free up resources else where. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Activepieces har got this clean, no-nonsense interface that takes complex automation and makes it feel like second nature. Support has been good too.

Their templates are top-notch, especially the latest ones for ChatGPT. Triggers? They've got them by the minute, hour, day—you name it. Diving into it, there's no need for a map or instructions. I just started poking around the templates and before I knew it, my workflow was running itself. It's that straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their integrations are a bit on the lean side. Still, what I need is there, and I'm on the edge of my seat for what's next. More integrations and more templates is coming, so it will be fun to see if they can match the likes of Zapier etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Activepieces offer various complicated features for automation with a very simple and intuitive interface.

I also like that Activepieces has a lot of great "templates" for the automations. The newly added ones regarding ChatGPT are simply super handy.

Activepieces also have great triggers like timing trigger, such as Every hour, Every Day, Every minute etc.

And the user experience is smooth and convenient. I don't really need specific guide, just exploring templates and I have been able to create the "flows" to automate my workflow with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integrations can definitely be better. Currently the apps integrated into Activepieces are limited, and the speed of apps integration can be faster. Anyway, most of the apps I need are there now and I am excitedly waiting for new integrations to come in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The completely customizable and fluid builder. The Code module is great and much better than Zapier. This took me less than an hour to rebuild everything I had in Zapier. The Community is second to none and it is very easy to install via docker on Windows 11, Asustor NAS, QNAP Nas, and in the cloud.

For us we process over 5000 runs a day, so it was getting incredibly expensive on zapier for my small business, ActivePieces has given us a cost effective way to automate everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited connections, sometimes slow interface, and difficult Piece building process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
