Self-hosted alternatives to Microsoft Power Automate

Power Automate connects Microsoft services and third-party APIs into flows, licensed per user or per flow. A self-hosted automation platform does the same wiring with its own connectors, on infrastructure you already pay for.

Migration

What changes when you host it yourself

The data stops leaving your network, and so does the responsibility for it: backups, the restore you have actually tested, and the disk it all sits on.

Feature parity is never exact. Read what each recipe states about limitations and the smoke test before planning a migration.

The bill turns into work: updates, certificates and an eye on the release notes. The catalog shows how much of that each recipe asks for.
