Product preview

Overview
Zapier is the automation incumbent: the vendor claims 9,000-plus app integrations, a no-code editor, and a newer AI layer — Agents, Chatbots, Tables, Interfaces and Canvas — built over the same trigger-action model. A Zap watches one app for a trigger and performs steps in others, which is why 'connect A to B' still defaults to it.
The trade is metering: the free plan carries a small monthly task allowance and paid tiers price by task volume, so a workflow polling a busy inbox burns tasks faster than a weekly digest. Multi-step paths, filters and premium apps sit on higher tiers. For glue between mainstream SaaS it is the fastest path; for self-hosted control, n8n or Activepieces.
