Bottom line

Task-based automation across 9,000 apps, with an MCP server on every account. Free plan available; Professional starts at $19.99/mo billed monthly.

Stands out for: Zapier MCP is on every plan, including Free, and connects AI assistants to the same 9,000-app catalog.

Watch out for: Each MCP tool call uses two tasks. Free Zaps are limited to two steps, and Professional is a single-user plan.

Overview

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that links more than 9,000 apps. Zaps, Tables, Forms and Zapier MCP all draw on one shared task allowance. The Free plan includes 100 tasks a month and two-step Zaps. Professional adds multi-step Zaps, premium apps and webhooks. Team adds shared workspaces, shared app connections and unlimited users, and Enterprise adds deeper admin controls and screen-share support.

Teams pick Zapier when the job is connecting apps they already pay for without writing code. Professional starts at $19.99/mo billed monthly and Team at $69/mo, with about 33% off on yearly billing; Enterprise is quoted. New accounts get a 14-day Professional trial with no card. Zapier MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor act in connected apps, and Agents and Chatbots are sold separately with their own free tiers.
