What is Zapier?
Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects web apps. You build automations — called Zaps — where an event in one app triggers actions in others.
It is known for a large library of app integrations and a step-by-step builder that is approachable for non-technical users.
Zapier has a free plan and paid plans priced by usage. Count how many tasks your automations will run each month to estimate cost.
Who is Zapier for?
- Non-technical users
- Teams that use many different SaaS apps
- Saving email attachments to cloud storage
- Adding new leads to a CRM
- Posting notifications to team chat
Who should consider an alternative?
- Very high-volume automation on a tight budget
- Workflows that must run on your own servers
