What is Zapier?
Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects 8,000+ apps. You create Zaps — automated workflows triggered by events in one app that perform actions in others. For example, a new form submission can auto-create a CRM contact, send a Slack message, and add a row to a spreadsheet.
How does Zapier pricing work?
Zapier uses task-based pricing. A task is counted each time a Zap action runs successfully. Free includes 100 tasks/month with single-step Zaps. Professional starts at $19.99/month for 750 tasks with multi-step workflows. Team ($69/month) adds shared workspaces and SSO. Annual billing saves 33%.
What is a Zapier task?
A task is counted each time Zapier successfully performs an action step. A 3-step Zap that runs once uses 3 tasks. Triggers (the event that starts a Zap) do not count as tasks. Filter steps that stop a Zap also do not count.
What is Zapier MCP?
Zapier MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an AI integration layer that lets AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor trigger your Zaps directly. It turns any Zapier automation into an AI-callable tool, included in all plans.
How does Zapier compare to Make (Integromat)?
Zapier has more integrations (8,000+ vs 1,500+) and is simpler to use. Make offers more complex logic, visual workflow builder, and lower pricing per operation. Zapier is better for quick automations; Make for complex scenarios with branching logic.
Is Zapier secure for enterprise use?
Yes. Zapier is SOC 2 Type II certified, supports SAML SSO, offers role-based access controls, and provides a 99.9% uptime SLA on Enterprise plans. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
