Flowise review
A capable visual agent builder whose official operations ended on August 31, 2026.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Flowise was an open-source platform for visually building AI agents, chatbots, and LLM workflows. Its Assistant, Chatflow, and Agentflow builders targeted developers and teams that wanted to design agent systems through visual workflows while retaining access to APIs, SDKs, CLI tools, and embedded chat. It supported web and API access, with both Flowise Cloud and self-hosted deployment described in its documentation.
The published pricing plans show a Free tier at $0 per month, with evaluations and metrics, custom embedded chatbot branding, and community support. Starter was listed at $35 per month with unlimited flows and assistants plus community support. Pro was listed at $65 per month and added unlimited workspaces, admin roles and permissions, and priority support. These plans are historical: FlowiseAI announced that feature development ceased July 29, 2026, the repository was archived August 10, 2026, and official core-team operations ended August 31, 2026.
Flowise stood out for combining multi-agent orchestration, knowledge retrieval, human-in-the-loop approvals, tool calling, custom tools, MCP integration, execution traces, visual debugging, evaluations, and metrics in one builder. Its ecosystem fit included LLM providers, embedding models, vector databases, MCP servers, custom tools, and external APIs. Builders evaluating an existing visual workflow or self-hosted agent project may still find the feature set relevant, while teams requiring ongoing feature development, official support, or an actively maintained platform should choose an alternative.
