Category:Workflow Automation

Features

7,000+ app integrations — largest integration catalog of any automation platform
Zap builder: single-trigger linear workflow with filter, delay, and path steps
Paths: conditional branching for up to 3 branches per Zap
AI Actions: allow ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs to trigger Zapier workflows via natural language
Tables: built-in database for data storage between Zaps
+3 more

Pros

7,000+ integrations means almost any SaaS app the user works with is already supported, no HTTP setup required
Easiest UI of the three major platforms — non-technical staff can build and maintain their own automations
AI Actions enables AI assistants to take real-world actions (create CRM contacts, send emails) without a developer
Free tier with 100 tasks/month is sufficient for light personal automation use without a credit card

Cons

Most expensive at scale: 10,000 tasks/mo costs $69+/mo versus n8n self-hosted for ~$15/mo total
Linear Zap model limits complex multi-branch logic; "Paths" only supports 3 branches per Zap
Free tier (100 tasks/month) is too low for any meaningful business process — forces upgrade quickly
No self-hosting option — all workflow data flows through Zapier's US-based cloud infrastructure
Slower execution (polling triggers check every 1-15 min on free/lower plans) versus instant webhook triggers on paid plans
