What the product covers
The full Activiti feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- BPMN 2.0 engine
- Activiti Cloud
- Modeler
- Java and REST APIs
- Pluggable persistence
- Identity integration
People bring Activiti in for an alfresco or hyland content services deployment where activiti is already the embedded workflow engine, a java application that needs to embed a bpmn engine as a library under a permissive licence, an organisation that has ruled out camunda 8 on licence grounds and needs an apache 2.0 alternative, document-centric approval workflows where the process engine sits inside the content management stack rather than beside it. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Activiti are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Activiti
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Activiti runs on linux, windows, docker, kubernetes, and is published by Hyland Software of Westlake, Ohio, United States. The full record is on the Activiti review, and the rest of the category is under best automation integration tools.
