Subscription: $19.99/mo for Multi-step workflows, premium apps, 2-minute polling

Make it easy: Tell it 'when this happens in one app, do this in another.' Like automatically saving email attachments to Google Drive, or adding new form responses to a spreadsheet.

What we like

  • Connects to 7,000+ apps, so whatever tools you use, Zapier probably supports them
  • Free tier gives you 100 tasks per month to test it out before paying anything
  • Building a workflow is genuinely simple: pick a trigger, pick an action, done
  • Built-in tools like filters and formatters don't count toward your task limit

What could be better

  • Gets expensive fast once you outgrow the free tier ($19.99/mo for the first paid plan)
  • Free tier only allows 2-step workflows, which limits what you can automate
  • Debugging complex multi-step workflows can be frustrating when something breaks

Our verdict

Zapier is the default choice for no-code automation, and for good reason. It connects to more apps than any competitor, and setting up a basic workflow takes minutes. The free tier lets you test the waters, but expect to pay once you start automating anything meaningful. At $19.99/month (annual), it's not cheap, but the time savings add up fast.

Make it easy: Drag and connect your apps on a visual canvas to automate tasks. More powerful than Zapier, cheaper if you use it a lot, but takes longer to learn.
