GPA, above 54 of the 134 other automation tools we grade

The report card
Best for AI agent workflows with human sign-off
Workflow86 is a no-code builder for workflows that mix AI agents with a person approving steps. The free plan is one user and 300 actions, and beyond that the only plan is a custom-priced Enterprise.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No paid price is published, only Free and a custom Enterprise plan, so there is nothing to compare against the category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | The free plan is real but small: 1 user, 5 workflows, 300 workflow actions and 50 AI actions. A 14-day trial is also listed with no card. |
| Features | C | AI agents, human approval tasks, a form builder, custom code, webhooks and prebuilt integrations. The listing shows no self-serve way to buy more actions. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build each workflow from components, which has a learning curve. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with eight listed integrations such as Salesforce, Zendesk and Twilio. No desktop or phone app. |
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.

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 Workflow86 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.
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.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
What this rests on. Workflow86’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.
