Details
Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation tool that can be self-hosted for free with no task limits, or used as a managed cloud service. The cloud free plan includes 1,000 task executions per month, while the Standard plan charges $5 per active flow per month with unlimited runs. For solo founders who want full data control without per-task pricing, the self-hosted Community Edition is a strong alternative to Zapier and Make.
Tray.ai, formerly Tray.io, is an enterprise orchestration platform for data and AI. Its Tray iPaaS product covers integrations, automations, AI agents and MCP governance, and Tray Helix deploys and governs apps that teams build with AI. Pricing is usage-based and quoted by sales for all three plans (Pro, Team and Enterprise), and a free trial is available on request. It suits businesses with high-volume integration needs rather than bootstrapped solo founders, who will find Zapier, Make or n8n cheaper and easier to start with.
