Use tool ↗About Zapier
Zapier runs automations (Zaps) across a catalogue of more than 9,000 third-party apps without code: a trigger in one app fires actions in others, with multi-step workflows, filters, paths and built-in tables, interfaces and chatbots. Its AI layer builds Zaps from a plain-language description (Copilot), adds model calls as workflow steps and runs Agents that act on incoming data within a budget of activities. Billing is by tasks — one successful action per step per run — with the free plan capped at 100 a month and paid tiers stepping up to two million. Zapier Inc. was founded in 2011 and is based in the United States.

Pros & cons of Zapier
Zapier is still the default when the job is 'connect these two SaaS tools and stop thinking about it': the app catalogue is the moat, and Copilot cuts setup time further for people who would never write a webhook. The cost model punishes volume — tasks are counted per step, overage on monthly plans is 2.5× — so once an automation runs thousands of times a day, Make or self-hosted n8n gets cheaper fast, and the AI Agents are a separately billed add-on rather than part of the plan.
Pros
- More than 9,000 app integrations, the widest catalogue in the category
- Copilot builds a multi-step Zap from a description, so setup needs no documentation reading
- Free plan runs real two-step automations, not a time-limited trial
- Published prices for every tier short of Enterprise, including the overage multipliers
Cons
- Tasks are counted per step, so a five-step Zap burns five tasks per run
- Overage costs 2.5× the base rate on monthly plans
- Agents and Chatbots are add-ons with their own bills
- Multi-step Zaps need a paid plan
Best for
- Ops and marketing teams wiring SaaS tools together without engineering time
- Low-volume automations where the app catalogue matters more than cost per run
- Teams that want AI steps and agents inside workflows they already run
Not for
- High-volume pipelines where per-task billing dwarfs a self-hosted alternative
- Developers who want code-first workflows under version control
Watch out: Task counting is per step per run and monthly-billed overage is 2.5× the base rate; a Zap misfiring in a loop can burn a month's allowance in an afternoon — keep the usage pause on and watch the task meter.
