Activepieces hosting
Open automation with hundreds of integrations — and no execution quota.
Activepieces hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant Activepieces instance on our infrastructure: we install it, pin it to a reviewed release, put it behind TLS on your domain, back it up nightly and keep it patched. Plans start at $5.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.
Activepieces is a workflow builder in the shape most people expect: triggers, steps, branches and a large library of pieces for the SaaS tools you already use, plus AI steps that call whichever model you configure. Flows are versioned, and you can write a custom piece in TypeScript when the library runs out.
The reason to self-host it is arithmetic. Hosted automation is priced per task or per execution, so a busy flow gets expensive precisely when it is working. Here you pay for the instance: two hundred runs a month and two hundred thousand cost the same.
Activepieces hosting plans
Every plan is a dedicated single-tenant instance with NVMe storage, nightly off-box backups, TLS and managed patching. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual terms are discounted at checkout. Model tokens are not included — you bring your own key.
How we run Activepieces
The official Activepieces compose layout: an app container and a separate worker container from the same image, Postgres (pgvector image) for flows and run history, and Redis for the job queue.
What we configure for you
- AP_ENCRYPTION_KEY and AP_JWT_SECRET generated per instance
- AP_FRONTEND_URL set to your HTTPS domain for webhooks and OAuth redirects
- AP_DB_TYPE=POSTGRES with AP_POSTGRES_* credentials and AP_REDIS_* for the queue
- AP_EXECUTION_MODE chosen so code steps run sandboxed
- AP_SMTP_* settings for invitations and alerts
- AP_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false unless you want to share usage data
Which plan fits
Starter (2 GB) runs the four containers for personal automations and a handful of scheduled flows. Plus (4 GB) suits a team with frequent webhook traffic, and Pro (8 GB) is for heavy polling, large file steps or many flows firing at once.
The honest limits
SSO, projects, custom roles and audit logs are enterprise-licensed and not included. AI steps call whatever model you configure, so tokens are billed by that provider unless you point them at a model you host.
What people run Activepieces for
