How Kissflow scores

Score breakdown for Kissflow
Ease of use 20%7.0Kissflow builds its workflow software for people with zero coding experience7, and Kissflow AI generates pages, data models, workflows, roles and navigation from one prompt or a requirements document8. Sign-up runs through sales: the form says a solution expert will get in touch within one business day9. Score: a no-code builder with prompt-built apps, but no self-serve start, gives 7.0.
Power 25%6.5Process workflows support parallel branches, conditional steps and Goto steps10, integrations take webhook triggers11 and HTTP, REST and SOAP calls5, and failed runs can be rerun12. Loops act on the first 100 records only13, JavaScript steps are Enterprise only14, and Kissflow says its agents do not yet learn from outcomes or self-correct4. Score: branches, webhooks and API calls are present, with loops capped at 100 records and code on Enterprise only, which gives 6.5.
Integrations 15%5.5Kissflow lists 36+ no-code connectors, among them SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce and ServiceNow, plus HTTP, REST and SOAP support5. That catalog is small for an automation platform, and the connector builder for custom connectors is Enterprise only15. Score: 36+ no-code connectors set a base of 5.5.
Price and value 20%3.0Kissflow publishes no prices and lists no free plan; the pricing page offers a quote on fixed annual agreements1. Integrations, APIs and AI features are included at no extra cost, users are priced in tiers, and three-year contracts are typical for enterprise deals4. Score: no free plan and no published price give 3.0, the lowest here.
Security and governance 10%8.5SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 reports, ISO/IEC 27001 and HIPAA BAAs on request164, data residency in the US, EU, India or Australia6, and a private single-tenant option on GCP or AWS17. SAML SSO and the account audit log are Enterprise only1819, and every deployment option is a cloud17. Score: four of the five rubric items with ISO 27001 give 8.5; every deployment option is a cloud.
Support and ecosystem 10%7.0Kissflow's Help Center sets a 4-hour ticket response for confirmed critical defects, with weekends excluded, and Enterprise customers with large deals can have these SLAs written into a signed contract20. Enterprise plans include a named account manager21. The Academy certifies Solutions Experts22 and the changelog lists releases through Oct 1, 202623. Score: a 4-hour response on weekdays for critical defects, an academy and a named account manager on Enterprise give 7.0.

Kissflow: common questions

How much does Kissflow cost?

Kissflow does not publish prices. The pricing page offers a quote on fixed annual agreements, with no surcharges for AI or API usage1. Kissflow prices users in tiers by how much they use the platform, three-year contracts are typical for enterprise deals, and implementation, consulting and support are scoped separately4.

Does Kissflow have a free plan or free trial?

Kissflow lists no free plan on its pricing page, which leads to a quote1, and neither the pricing page nor the sign-up page mentions a free trial. The sign-up form says a solution expert will get in touch within one business day9.

Where does Kissflow store data, and can it be self-hosted?
