Zapier

Connect 8,000+ apps without code

Zapier is a workflow automation tool for Small businesses and Freelancers, offered as freemium ($30/mo). Based in United States, founded in 2011. Popular alternatives include n8n, Pipedream, Make.

About Zapier

Zapier is the largest no-code integration and automation platform, founded in 2011 in Columbia, Missouri, by Wade Foster, Bryan Helmig and Mike Knoop, and run as a fully remote company. It connects more than 8,000 apps through Zaps: a trigger in one app, such as a new form entry or a closed deal, runs one or more actions in others, such as creating a CRM record, sending a Slack message or adding a row to a spreadsheet.

Zaps can include filters, paths for branching logic, formatters, delays, webhooks and code steps in Python or JavaScript. Around the core, Zapier added Tables for storing data, Interfaces for simple forms and portals, Chatbots, Canvas for mapping processes, and AI features that build Zaps from plain-language descriptions and run agents that act across connected apps. Pricing is based on tasks, meaning each successful action run: the free plan covers 100 tasks a month with two-step Zaps, Professional unlocks multi-step Zaps, webhooks and premium apps, Team adds shared workspaces and SSO, and Enterprise adds advanced administration.

Zapier is best for marketing, sales and operations teams that want to automate SaaS workflows themselves, and its integration catalog and ease of use remain unmatched. The task-based model becomes expensive for high-volume or multi-step processes. Make offers a visual scenario builder at lower cost, n8n can be self-hosted and suits technical teams with volume, and Microsoft Power Automate is the natural choice inside Microsoft 365.
