Pricing comparison
Dialogo
Free to start. Starter €79/mo, Team €199/mo, Enterprise custom. €0.30 per completed task: covers AI reasoning, execution, and memory.
Activepieces
Free self-hosted. Cloud plans starting around $5-9/mo for small teams. Competitive pricing but fewer integrations than Zapier/Make.
Pricing insight: Activepieces is cheaper for simple trigger-action flows. Once your workflows require AI judgment, multi-tool coordination, or persistent memory: Dialogo's value per task makes the price difference negligible. Most teams find the cost of maintaining simple flows that keep breaking exceeds the difference.
