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. - **Value for money: C.** Business and Enterprise prices are not published and are sold through sales. It sits in the middle. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Starter is free for 5 processes and 10 users, with 50 cards and 15 automation jobs a month. You will reach those caps. - **Features: C.** Process boards, automations, AI, dashboards and an API, but API access, roles and private processes need Business, and SSO needs Enterprise. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Each process has to be built as a board. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web app with Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket and Zapier connections, plus an API. No desktop or phone app listed.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/automation ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Kanban boards and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket, Zapier **Tags:** Workflow automation, No-code, Kanban boards, Forms, AI features, Public API ## Alternatives - [Kissflow](https://toolgpa.com/tools/kissflow): Enterprise low-code platform for workflows, apps and portals.
