Activepieces Reviews

Great idea, bad execution. Unfortunately we can not make it work. No templates that make sense. I mean I want to post on instagram, simple as that, give us instructions.

Boy do I wish I had tested this out more thoroughly before going all in. Based on the reviews, I thought it'd be a good investment but I didn't have time to test it out before the 60 day period. That's my fault but I regret it a lot.

I am trying to build a somewhat complex (medium level) flow and there are many issues. Primarily, there is no "save" button so if the builder bugs out, then you have to refresh and re-add all your changes.

The built in PDF parser is terrible. I don't know how that vs chatgpt is so far apart. On top of that, they don't have any other PDF parsers like pdf.co

I think there's still potential but it has a long ways to go.

If there were some promises made, I can tell you that using this service and trying to get it working is an absolute nightmare. And when you need help, you'll quickly discover that you're on your own and that there is no support for it. All they'll say is : go to the forum and get help there on your own. I posted about 3 messages on the forum asking for help, no one f** cares about you.
Not to say this product doesn't even have basic tasks such as "if a new WordPress post with category "xxx" is created > send out a campaign using tool "ABC". I mean, that's pretty much the basic thing most people want to do : automate an email campaign.
Good luck, I've just never managed using this tool.

Let’s cut to the chase—Activepieces is a solid investment if you know what you’re getting into. I’ve been using it alongside other tools like Albato and Make, and it’s quickly becoming my go-to for handling serious, heavy-duty automations in both eCommerce and service-based operations.
The community is active, the support is responsive, and the platform is evolving in the right direction. If you’re looking for something that can grow with you, this is it.

Now, Let’s Address the Concerns:

WhatsApp Piece: First off, I’ve seen some folks mentioning missing pieces like WhatsApp. Good news—that’s been added now. The team is clearly listening and rolling out updates, which is exactly what you want in a platform that’s still growing.

Premium Connectors: I get the confusion around the premium connectors, but let’s be fair—Activepieces has been upfront about what’s included in the deal and what’s not. These premium connectors are enterprise-level, custom tools designed for big players. If you’re running an SMB, these likely aren’t even on your radar, so there’s no real loss here. Complaining about this feels a bit off, especially when they’ve been transparent from the start.

Continuous Development: What’s impressive is how fast they’re developing and growing the platform based on user feedback. The team is clearly committed to making this tool better with each update. As a user, it feels good to know that our feedback is being taken seriously and is actively shaping the platform.

Missing Integrations: Sure, some integrations are still in the pipeline, but the core ones are already here. And if you’re technical, you can even add your own pieces. I’m not a developer myself, but I’m seeing more and more pieces added over time, and it’s covering my needs just fine.

The Bottom Line:

Activepieces isn’t perfect, but it’s powerful, flexible, and growing fast. If you’re patient and willing to stick with it, you’re getting a fantastic deal that will only get better as more features and integrations roll out. This tool is built for those who want more control and power in their automations, and I’m all in to see where it goes.

They clearly didn't mean to follow through with the "all pieces" connector provided to us. When you start using the platform, you realise there are 'premium connectors' that you can't use. There was a weird explanation given about how this is to only bill 'large clients' for connectors behind a sales wall - but ALL connectors means ALL connectors. Refund time!
