Activepieces hosting in the EU
Run your own Activepieces, an alternative to Zapier and Make. One-click install, HTTPS, servers in the EU. Free plan, no card.
Activepieces: connect your apps and automate chores by clicking steps together, no code needed. On blitz.cloud you install it from the App Store in one click. It gets its own address with HTTPS and the PostgreSQL and Redis it needs, and it runs on servers in the EU. You can run it on the free plan, without a credit card.
A self-hosted alternative to Zapier, Make, n8n and IFTTT
Activepieces does the job of Zapier, Make, n8n or IFTTT, but it is your own copy: your data sits in your app, not in somebody else's account, and nobody changes the price or the rules on you. Self-hosting usually means renting a server and keeping it patched. Here the App Store sets it up and keeps it running.

Install it
- Create a free account and open the App Store in the dashboard.
- Search for Activepieces, or for Zapier, and pick a name. It becomes the address, like
activepieces.yourname.blitz.cloud. - Click Put it online. The last step lists everything that gets created, the database included, and how much of your plan it uses.
- Open the app's address and sign up. The first account becomes the admin.
- Build a flow from a trigger, like a new email or a schedule, and add the steps it should run.
While it sleeps
Activepieces only runs its schedules while it is awake. On the free plan webhooks don't wake it. On the free plan an app sleeps after 30 minutes without visitors. On Pro, installing Activepieces keeps it awake. If only this one app has to stay awake, you can make it a Pro app instead of moving your whole account.
Good to know
It uses most of its memory before it does anything, so large flows may make it restart.
