Which one is for you

Pick FlowForma if

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you are small: $2,347 a month is the floor for three processes
  • Skip it if you are not on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online, since it assumes them
  • Tight if you need many processes, as plans are priced by process count and Professional covers 30 for $3,293 a month
  • Watch out: AI agents on Essentials are add-ons, and premium support and consultancy days cost extra

Pick Pipefy if

  • Fits if you run a few request or approval processes for a small team
  • Works for a team that wants to try boards on the free Starter plan

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free: 50 cards and 15 automation jobs a month
  • Skip it if you want a price for bigger use, as Business and Enterprise are sold through sales
  • Watch out: SSO and two-factor authentication are Enterprise only
  • Watch out: the FAQ says there are no refunds for cancellations or plan downgrades

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
