Activepieces vs Workato Agentic

Activepieces is an AI automation platform for teams building workflows and AI agents, with governance and security controls. Users can describe an outcome in chat and have the platform create a flow or agent. Flows support branching, retries, waitpoints, subflows, error handling, human approvals, and inline TypeScript. Its catalog lists 764 integrations, including Gmail, Slack, OpenAI, Notion, Google Sheets, HubSpot, and Salesforce; every piece is included on every plan. Activepieces runs in its cloud, on customer infrastructure, or in air-gapped environments. Connected apps can also be made available through one MCP server for clients such as Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. The company says customer automations, runs, documents, and prompts are not used to train models. Free includes 1,000 credits a month and one user; when credits run out, further runs wait until the next day’s refresh. Plus is $20 a month, and Team is $200 a month. It is available through web, API, and self-hosting.

Workato Agentic is a cloud, low-code and no-code platform for building and managing AI agents called genies. Genies pursue defined goals, use skills, knowledge bases, and app events, and can orchestrate work across connected systems. Agent Studio provides a registry for publishing, discovering, consuming, and governing packaged or custom genies. Agents can delegate subtasks to other genies and communicate with external agents supporting the A2A protocol. Inputs include text, images, PDFs, Word files, and CSVs through chat or knowledge bases. Documented chat interfaces include Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Workato GO. Skills connect to Workato-supported apps, custom APIs, data tables, or external MCP servers. Role-based controls and verified access let skills act with an end user’s identity and permissions. Conversations and skill histories are recorded, with logs streamable to Amazon S3, Splunk, or Datadog. The Free plan provides 50,000 one-time credits; Pro costs $75 a month for 2,500 credits per month.
