About
Open-source (MIT-licensed) automation platform that combines workflows, AI agents, tables and 760+ integrations, with an MCP server and the option to host it on your own server.
Why it ranks #4
MIT open source, free self-hosting and billing of 1 credit per run regardless of the number of steps, but it has far fewer native integrations (760+) than Zapier and Make and the official site doesn't confirm a Portuguese interface.
