  • Free plan with 1,000 credits a month; Core is $16 a month in the US
  • 3,500+ apps and a canvas that shows the whole scenario

What we compare, and how

A no-code AI agent builder lets you describe a job, connect your apps and set the rules without writing or reading code. We count a tool as no-code when its vendor presents it as usable without programming and its product pages show a job being set up by clicking and describing, not scripting.

That is why some well-known names are missing here. n8n, Dify, Copilot Studio, Voiceflow and Botpress are visual too, but we class them as low-code: their own pages talk about variables, code steps or developer tooling. They are in the full ranking.

The score is the same one used across the site: entry price, free access, how predictable the billing unit is, integrations, agents, model choice, knowledge base, human approval, self-hosting and API. The formula is on the methodology page.

What will you actually be billed for?

No-code tools look alike until the invoice. Some count one unit per run, some one per step, and some sell credits whose cost depends on the model. Before you compare two prices, compare the units.

Zapier logo

Zapier

No-code

Best for non-technical teams that need one specific app. If an app exists, Zapier probably connects it: 9,000+ of them.

  • 9,000+ apps, the largest catalog in this comparison
  • Free plan with 100 tasks a month, and a 14-day Professional trial

StackAI logo

StackAI

No-code

Best for regulated companies with an IT team. A capable free tier, then nothing self-serve until an enterprise quote.

  • Free plan with 500 runs a month to try the builder
  • Human review steps and knowledge bases built in
  • On-prem and VPC deployment, SOC 2 and HIPAA on Enterprise
  • The catch: There is no paid plan between Free and Enterprise: one seat and two projects, or a sales call.

Lindy logo

Lindy

No-code

Best for owners who want an assistant, not a canvas. Less a builder than a teammate you brief in Slack or by text.

  • Works where you already are: Slack, email, text and calendar
  • 3,000+ integrations and approvals before anything goes out
  • $50 in free credits to try real work
  • The catch: It bills every active user $29.99 a month, credits vary from 2 to 2,500 per job, and the free credits expire after 7 days.

Gumloop logo

Gumloop

No-code

Best for go-to-market teams that share agents across the company. One plan, unlimited seats, and a meter that follows model list prices.

  • $37 a month covers unlimited seats, agents and teams
  • 35+ models, or your own API keys
  • Company Brain and skills so agents know your business
  • The catch: Credits track token prices plus an 8% orchestration fee (16% with your own keys), so the bill moves with the model you pick. No free plan.

Which one should you choose?

  • You want classic app-to-app automations with an agent inside: pick between Make, Zapier and Activepieces. Make and Zapier count actions; Activepieces counts runs.
  • You want agents your whole team can chat with: Gumloop, because seats are unlimited on its one plan.
  • You want an assistant for your own inbox and meetings: Lindy, billed per active user.
  • You work in a regulated company and IT decides: StackAI has a free tier to try and sells the rest by quote.

Make, Zapier, Activepieces and StackAI have permanent free plans. Gumloop has a 14-day trial and Lindy gives $50 in credits for 7 days.
