BitFlows

Bit Flows stands out as a self-hosted automation hub that brings Zapier- and n8n-like workflows directly into WordPress, with a visual builder and AI integrations. The combination of unlimited workflows and tasks, broad app coverage, and lifetime licensing options makes it appealing for teams that want predictable costs and to keep automation closer to their own infrastructure. It’s particularly suited to WordPress-centric stacks that want fewer external SaaS dependencies.
Bit Flows uses a license-based model with both annual subscriptions and lifetime one-time purchase options, each tied to a number of WordPress sites. All plans include access to the full feature set.
The site states a “14 Days Money Back Guarantee” and “No Question Asked - 14 Day Money Back Guarantee.” Refund policy details beyond this heading are not further specified.
Bit Flows is part of the Bit Apps product family, which also includes several established WordPress plugins (forms, SMTP, file manager, etc.), suggesting an experienced vendor behind it. The presence of extensive documentation, tutorials, blog content, and multiple expert video reviews points to a growing and actively developed tool rather than an early prototype. Based on available information, it appears to be in a “growing/stable” stage with ongoing feature additions like AI agents and new parsers marked as “coming soon.”
