Pipefy report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for simple request and process boards
Pipefy runs process boards with automations and AI, and has a free Starter plan. That plan stops at 5 processes, 10 users, 50 cards and 15 automation jobs a month, and the Business and Enterprise prices are not published.
Who Pipefy is for
- 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
Who Pipefy is not for
- 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
Why Pipefy gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyBusiness and Enterprise prices are not published and are sold through sales. It sits in the middle.
- CFree plan and trialStarter is free for 5 processes and 10 users, with 50 cards and 15 automation jobs a month. You will reach those caps.
- CFeaturesProcess boards, automations, AI, dashboards and an API, but API access, roles and private processes need Business, and SSO needs Enterprise.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Each process has to be built as a board.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb app with Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket and Zapier connections, plus an API. No desktop or phone app listed.

Keep Pipefy, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Pipefy 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: 32 of the 71 other automation tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Kanban boards and forms: an app builder makes these 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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Pipefy’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.
