What we build in Zapier
The easiest platform to start with and the most expensive to scale. For a genuinely simple automation, it is the right answer and you should build it yourself rather than pay anyone.
Zapier is the easiest platform to start with and the most expensive to scale. It has the largest connector library in the market and the most forgiving interface, so for a trigger and two actions between two mainstream tools it is genuinely the right answer, and you should build it yourself in an afternoon rather than pay anyone.
We build on it when your team already lives in Zapier, when a connector exists there and nowhere else, or when we are restructuring a sprawl of Zaps built ad hoc over years. We do not, once workflows gain branches and volume: the crossover is somewhere around a dozen multi-step Zaps running daily, and past that a migration to Make or n8n is worth costing.
What it is, and where it sits
Zapier connects apps through Zaps: a trigger and a sequence of actions. It has the largest connector library in the market and the most forgiving interface, which is why it is most people's first encounter with automation.
We are happy to work in it, and we will also tell you when you do not need us. If your requirement is a trigger and two actions between two mainstream tools, build it yourself in an afternoon.
What we build in it
- Simple cross-app notifications and record creation
- Form-to-CRM-to-notification chains with light logic
- Extending an existing Zapier estate a team already maintains
- Rescuing and restructuring a sprawl of Zaps built ad hoc over years
- Migrations off Zapier to Make or n8n when cost or complexity has outgrown it
How it is priced
| Model | What you pay for | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Per task | Roughly one action step executed once. Multi-step Zaps with filters consume tasks quickly. | The automation is genuinely simple: a trigger and a couple of actions. |
| Tiered task allowance | A monthly allowance of tasks, with tiers stepping up as volume grows. | The first few simple automations, where Zapier is genuinely cheap. |
The usual pattern: the bill grows faster than expected once workflows gain branches and volume. The usual crossover is somewhere around the point where you have a dozen multi-step Zaps running daily.
Model it before scaling. If your projected cost is meaningfully above Make's for the same work, the migration is worth costing.
