Pros

  • 7,000+ app integrations — the largest automation ecosystem by far
  • Fastest time-to-first-automation: most Zaps take under 5 minutes to set up
  • Zapier Copilot builds automations from natural language descriptions
  • Tables, Forms, and MCP Server included free on all plans

Cons

  • Professional plan ($19.99/mo) includes only 750 tasks — cost escalates at scale
  • Linear workflow model is less flexible than Make's visual branching
  • Cloud-only platform with no self-hosting option for data control
  • Overage pricing at 1.25x base cost can surprise users

Zapier is the most widely used no-code automation platform, with 7,000+ app integrations and 3+ million users. It automates app-to-app workflows faster than any competitor — most setups take under 5 minutes. Professional plan starts at $19.99/month for 750 tasks. Best for: non-technical users and small teams who want the easiest, fastest automation setup.

7,000+ integrations. 81 billion tasks automated. And you can set up your first workflow in under 5 minutes.

Those numbers from Zapier and SQ Magazine explain why Zapier dominates no-code automation: it connects to virtually every business app, and it does so with the lowest learning curve in the market. Approximately 69% of Fortune 1000 companies use Zapier, and the platform has automated over 81 billion tasks to date.

Zapier’s revenue reached approximately $310 million in 2024 and is projected to hit $400 million in 2025 — remarkable for a company that raised less than $3 million in external funding. The platform serves 3+ million users and generates 760% growth in AI-related task automation over the past two years.

What is Zapier?

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects business apps through “Zaps” — automated workflows triggered by events in one app that create actions in others. New email in Gmail? Automatically save the attachment to Google Drive, add a row to a spreadsheet, and send a Slack notification. That’s a Zap.

Zapier has repositioned itself as an AI orchestration platform in 2026, bundling Tables (a database), Forms (data collection), and an MCP Server (Model Context Protocol for AI agent integration) into all plans at no extra cost. The Zapier Copilot uses AI to build automations from natural language descriptions — tell it what you want automated and it configures the Zap for you.

Key Features That Matter

7,000+ App Integrations

The single biggest reason to choose Zapier: it connects to more apps than any other automation platform. Make offers 3,000+ and n8n has 400+. If the tool you need to automate exists as a SaaS product, Zapier almost certainly has a connector for it. This breadth eliminates the need for custom API work in most cases.

Zapier Copilot (AI Builder)

Describe your automation in plain English — “When someone fills out my Typeform, add them to my Mailchimp list and send a Slack notification” — and Copilot configures the entire Zap. It suggests triggers, maps fields, and handles the setup. Available on all plans.

Tables, Forms, and MCP Server

Zapier now bundles a lightweight database (Tables), form builder (Forms), and MCP Server for AI agent integration — all free on every plan. Tables can serve as the data backbone for your automations without needing a separate database tool. MCP Server lets AI agents like Claude use Zapier as a tool (1 MCP call = 2 tasks).

Multi-Step Workflows and Paths

Professional plans support multi-step Zaps with conditional logic (Paths), filters, formatters, delays, and loops. Built-in tools like Filter, Formatter, Path, Delay, Looping, Sub-Zap, and Digest do not count against your task quota — only successful action steps do.

Important pricing context: Monthly billing is approximately 50% higher ($29.99/mo for Professional). When you exceed your task limit, Zapier charges overage at 1.25x your base task cost — up to 3x your subscription before Zaps pause.

Where Zapier Gets Expensive

Zapier’s per-task pricing scales faster than competitors:

Monthly VolumeZapierMaken8n (Self-hosted)
750 tasks$19.99$9~$5 (hosting)
10,000 tasks$100+$9~$5 (hosting)
50,000 tasks$400+$29+~$10 (hosting)

At 10,000+ monthly tasks, teams often evaluate switching to Make or n8n for cost savings. The full comparison is in our n8n vs Zapier vs Make guide.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Use Zapier

Zapier is the right choice if you:

  • Want the fastest, easiest automation setup (under 5 minutes for most workflows)
  • Need to connect niche or specialized apps — 7,000+ integrations covers nearly everything
  • Are non-technical and prefer a guided, template-driven approach
  • Want AI-powered automation building through Copilot

Consider alternatives if you:

  • Run high-volume workflows (10,000+ tasks/month) — Make costs roughly half at that volume
  • Need complex branching and visual workflow design — Make’s scenario builder is more powerful
  • Want self-hosting for data control and unlimited executions — n8n is free to self-host
  • Need advanced error handling — Make’s visual error routes are more sophisticated
