Zapier

What Zapier actually is

• Over 8,000 app integrations, the largest connector catalogue among the no-code automation platforms
• A five-part workflow: trigger, input, an optional AI step, human review, action
• Zapier AI (Copilot) builds a Zap from a text description, and an AI step can call an LLM mid-workflow
• Filters and Paths on the paid tiers let a Zap fire only on certain input
• Billing is task-based: you pay per action carried out, not per Zap

Limits and catches

• The Free plan caps you at two-step Zaps and 100 tasks per month, so end-to-end flows do not fit on it
• Task-based billing climbs fast on high-volume workflows, because every action counts as a task
• Branching and internal logic are thinner than Make's visual scenario editor
• Prices and task allowances change periodically, so check current pricing before you commit

What does Zapier cost?

The Free plan is permanently free: 100 tasks per month and two-step Zaps only (one trigger, one action). That covers exactly one first automation. A task is one action carried out by a connected app, so real end-to-end workflows hit the ceiling fast.
