Common reasons people leave Flowise: officially discontinued: no new features or security fixes, and gitHub repository is archived, so issues and PRs are locked. We ranked 6 alternatives by how directly each one replaces Flowise, then by reviews, real visits and how recently each app's facts were checked against its own website. n8n currently ranks first.

Flowise has been discontinued. Development stopped in July 2026 and end of life was 31 August 2026, according to the Flowise sunset page.
