Pipedream, with its developer-centric, code-first automation approach, caters well to technical users looking to integrate APIs and automate workflows. However, Relay.app is more widely user friendly, and goes beyond pure task automation by allowing users to interweave human-in-the-loop actions directly into workflows, from human decisions to reviews to approvals.

Pipedream offers developers a robust platform for connecting APIs and automating workflows with a code-centric approach. However, for businesses seeking a more accessible, no-code solution that effortlessly integrates AI and human decision-making into automated workflows, Relay.app is the better choice.
