|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Activepieces | Build, run and manage no-code flows across 400+ apps via REST API or the built-in MCP server. | API keyAuthorization: Bearer <api_key> | official | free: open-source, self-hostable at no cost; cloud free plan gives 100 credits/day, no card required | Base URL: https://cloud.activepieces.com/api/v1 Free plan: 100 credits per day, unlimited flows; free plan lists MCPs and API access, no card ↗ Example call: list flows in a project: GET https://cloud.activepieces.com/api/v1/flows?projectId={projectId}&status=ENABLED ↗ Unit price: 1 credit per flow run (AI steps 2-20 credits); Plus $20/mo includes 10,000 credits, overage $0.007/credit ↗ | MCP server URL is per-instance (https://your-instance.com/mcp); OAuth-based client auth, and connection secrets/API keys are never exposed through MCP tools.

| Arcade.dev | Execute authorized tool calls (GitHub, Slack, Google, etc.) with managed OAuth via API, SDK, or 200+ MCP servers. | API key / OAuthAuthorization: Bearer <api_key>; tool auth uses managed per-provider OAuth (e.g. GitHub, Google) | official | free tier: 2,000 auth events + 2,000 tool calls/mo, no credit card required | Base URL: https://api.arcade.dev Free plan: 2,000 auth events + 2,000 tool calls, per month, no card ↗ Example call: execute a tool: POST https://api.arcade.dev/v1/tools/execute ↗ Unit price: Team plan ($25/mo): $0.01 per tool call and $0.10 per auth event beyond included quota; Free plan includes 2,000 of each per month ↗ | First use of an OAuth-gated tool requires the human to approve a browser consent screen; token is then reused automatically. Team plan adds $0.10/auth event and $0.01/tool call beyond free quota. MCP gateways: https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<gateway-slug>. | — |
