The Verdict
Flowise is built for developers and startups, with a focus on visual-builder and llm-chains. Tines targets security teams and soc analysts and leads with workflow-automation and alert-triage.
Tines uses custom enterprise pricing, while Flowise starts at $19/mo — a tangible advantage for teams with a fixed budget.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Flowise offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Tines takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Tines has a slight overall edge — but if visual drag-and-drop for rapid prototyping matters most to you, Flowise may still be the right call.
