Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Activepieces and Gumloop both compete in Automation, overlapping most directly on automation. Activepieces runs on a freemium model while Gumloop runs on a paid-only plan, which alone may settle it if budget or a free tier is a hard requirement.
Choose Activepieces if…
Best for teams that want Zapier-style automation but need to keep sensitive data on their own infrastructure, and its edge is fully self-hostable and open-source, so workflow data never has to touch an external server. A genuine privacy-first alternative to Zapier, the app integration library is still noticeably smaller. Lean toward Gumloop instead if a "company brain" that gives agents shared access to team knowledge and live tool data, plus built-in evals so agents improve without manual tuning matters more for your use case.
Choose Gumloop if…
Best for teams that want non-developers building AI agents against real company data and tools, not just simple app-to-app automations, and its edge is a "company brain" that gives agents shared access to team knowledge and live tool data, plus built-in evals so agents improve without manual tuning. A credible agent-building step up from simple workflow automation, for teams ready to move past basic Zapier-style triggers. Lean toward Activepieces instead if fully self-hostable and open-source, so workflow data never has to touch an external server matters more for your use case.
