OpenFn is an open-source workflow automation and integration platform for governments, NGOs, and other impact organizations. It connects web applications, APIs, databases, SFTP servers, raw file exports, and legacy systems through reusable Adaptors and HTTP requests. Teams can build multi-step workflows, map and transform data, run jobs on schedules or in real time, and manage projects through a web interface or REST API. Hosted SaaS and self-hosted deployment make it relevant to organizations that need control over where integrations run.

Pricing is structured around workflow, run, and user limits. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes 1 workflow, 100 runs per month, 1 user, Community support, and Github sync. Core costs $49 per month or $588 per year and adds 2 workflows, 2,000 runs per month, 2 users, and Email support. Growth costs $199 per month or $2,388 per year for 10 workflows, 5,000 runs per month, 5 users, Email support, and a 1:1 onboarding consultation. Scale costs $499 per month or $5,988 per year for 20 workflows, 10,000 runs per month, 10 users, Dedicated support, and Faster response times.

The platform’s strongest fit is integration work that combines data transformation, orchestration, and systems such as DHIS2, Salesforce, Postgres, and FHIR. Workflow monitoring, audit history, failure retry, role-based access control, project permissions, and a REST API add operational controls for managed processes. Open-source Adaptors and HTTP, API, database, SFTP, and file integrations support a broad technical mix, while zero-persistence deployment configuration suits organizations with infrastructure requirements. Choose OpenFn when open-source control, hybrid deployment, and complex data flows matter; consider alternatives when you need more workflows, users, or connector breadth at a lower entry price.
