Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 134 other automation tools we grade
Kissflow is a low-code and no-code platform that enterprises use to build workflow automations and custom business apps. It includes forms, reports, portals and boards, plus AI that generates apps or building blocks. Pricing is quoted per customer: the vendor's pricing page shows no prices and offers a custom quote.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Kissflow, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No price is published, there is nothing free on record, and complex apps may need the vendor's paid services.

AI app generation

- 5
Forms, reports and boards

A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 134
That is against the other automation tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

Keep it
To replace Kissflow you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for enterprise workflows and apps
Kissflow is a low-code platform for workflows, apps and portals aimed at companies. No price is published, there is nothing free on record, and complex apps may need the vendor's paid services.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices are published: the pricing page points to a custom quote with user-based pricing and transaction tiers. It sits in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on record in the listing, so nothing can be tried without paying. |
| Features | C | Workflows, approvals, forms, reports, portals and AI app generation, but complex apps may need the vendor's paid services. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A web platform where you build the apps and workflows. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or phone apps listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Kissflow is for
- Fits if you build approval workflows and portals for a larger company
- Works for a team that is happy to get a custom quote
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before you buy, as nothing free is on record
- Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is shown
- Not for you if you are a single person or a very small team, as the marketing targets enterprises
- Watch out: complex apps may need the vendor's paid services
Good to know
Good for
- Enterprises replacing paper or email approvals with workflow apps
- IT teams that want many custom business apps on a single platform
- Companies needing vendor or customer portals alongside internal workflows
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the pricing page points to a custom quote and mentions user-based pricing with transaction tiers.
- The marketing is aimed at enterprises, with little to help individuals or very small teams judge cost.
- Complex apps may need the vendor's paid services.

No prices are published: the pricing page points to a custom quote with user-based pricing and transaction tiers.
We could not confirm Kissflow’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. kissflow.com has them.

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
1/134
Other automation tools it is graded above

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Kissflow you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 125 of the 134 other automation tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Forms: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Kissflow’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
