Appian alternative
Appian is enterprise low-code built for organizations with complex compliance and legacy systems — BPM, RPA, process mining, and FedRAMP/HIPAA/SOC 2 certifications, used by the US Army, USDA, and T-Mobile. It's excellent, and it's priced for it: typical annual spend runs $50,000–$200,000+. TinyWorkflows is built for SMBs and startups that need automation connected to forms, databases, and email without a six-figure budget — a 10-user deployment is $588/year versus $90,000–$180,000.
No credit card · $49/mo for the whole stack · Free forever for solo
Why teams switch
$19 to $49 a month for the whole platform versus $75–$150 per user, a 100x–300x difference at 10 users
no consulting engagement required to get started
Built into the same product — no separate subscription, no glue code.
Side-by-side
Honest feature parity where it exists. Concrete gaps where it doesn’t.
Where it fits
TinyWorkflows is the glue — but in TinyCommand, the things being glued are already next to each other.
Real flows
Form submission → enrich → score → route to right rep on Slack → log to CRM.
Stripe webhook → lookup customer → personalized recovery email → follow up after 3 days.
Pull yesterday's rows across 3 tables, summarize with an agent, post to #ops.
Email arrives → agent classifies urgency + product area → routes + creates ticket if it's a bug.

Start the migrationFAQ
Workflows here share a data layer with forms, tables, agents, and email — no 'connect to X' wizards for products that are already in the same bundle. Plus per-run pricing, not per-step.
Yes — connect your account and we import structure, triggers, actions. Native steps map directly; third-party app steps continue via our integrations. Our team handles anything that doesn't auto-map in your first week.
458 third-party integrations covering the high-traffic apps that 95% of automations actually use. New connectors ship every Thursday.
Not yet — hosted only. If you need self-host (compliance, air-gapped), n8n is the right tool. For everyone else, hosted with the full bundle is the better trade.
Generous run quota (not per-task). Pro at $49/mo unlocks the full bundle including team seats.
$49/mo for forms + tables + workflows + agents + email. Or free forever for solo.
