Zapier
Industry-leading workflow automation connecting 8000+ apps without code
About Zapier
Zapier is the world's most comprehensive no-code automation platform, enabling millions of users and businesses to connect over 8,000 applications and automate repetitive workflows without writing a single line of code. Founded in 2011, Zapier pioneered the concept of "Zaps" - automated workflows triggered by events in one app that execute actions in others - democratizing integration capabilities that previously required expensive custom development or enterprise middleware. The platform has evolved from simple two-app connections into a sophisticated automation ecosystem supporting multi-step workflows, conditional logic, data transformation, and AI-powered automation.
What distinguishes Zapier in 2025 is its unmatched breadth of integrations and its commitment to empowering business users rather than requiring technical expertise. The platform now processes billions of automated tasks monthly, connecting everything from mainstream productivity tools like Gmail, Slack, and Salesforce to niche industry applications and custom APIs. Recent innovations include Tables (a lightweight database for storing automation data), Interfaces (no-code app builder for custom tools), Canvas (visual workflow designer), and Chatbots (conversational automation interfaces). The AI Actions feature enables users to incorporate GPT-4 and Claude models directly into workflows for content generation, data extraction, and intelligent decision-making.
Zapier's pricing structure serves individuals through to large enterprises with distinct tiers. The free tier includes 100 tasks per month with basic two-step Zaps and 5 Zaps total, making it ideal for personal productivity. The Professional plan ($29.99/month for 750 tasks) unlocks unlimited Zaps, multi-step workflows, premium apps, and webhooks. Team plans ($103.50/month for 2,000 tasks) add collaboration features and shared workspaces, while Company plans ($599/month for 50,000 tasks) introduce advanced admin controls, SSO, and premier support. Enterprise customers receive custom pricing with dedicated infrastructure, advanced security, and API access for programmatic automation management.
The platform serves over 2.2 million businesses globally, from solopreneurs automating lead capture to Fortune 500 companies orchestrating complex business processes. Zapier's position as the automation standard has created network effects where most modern SaaS applications prioritize Zapier integration, ensuring the ecosystem continues expanding. From marketing automation and sales pipeline management to customer support and financial operations, Zapier has become the connective tissue enabling businesses to build custom automation without traditional integration complexity or cost.
