Zapier is a platform that allows users to automate various tasks by connecting apps and services. Instead of one cost (or a series of costs) to use Zapier, Zapier instead uses tasks and each plan has a set number of tasks. It can often feel like Zapier is crazy expensive. But in this blog post, I am going to break down the different payment options and why these payment options are priced right.
Payment options
- The Free Plan – The free plan gives you 100 tasks a month. This is the plan you start out with if you are just trying Zapier out.
- Starter Plan ($19/month) – This plan gives you 750 up to 1.5k tasks a month (priced accordingly).
- Professional Plan ($49/month) – This plan gives you 2k up to 2 million tasks per month (priced accordingly).
- Team Plan ($299/month) – With this plan users can get 50K tasks up to 2 million tasks per month (priced accordingly).
- Company Plan ($599/month) – This plan gives you 100k up to 2 million tasks per month (priced accordingly).
Why is Zapier so expensive?
The cost of Zapier comes from the number of apps and services a user is connecting. The more apps and services that the user is trying to connect, the more expensive it is going to be.
Another cost that plays a role is the number of users that have access to an account. With a free plan, only one user can use Zapier at a time. As you move up in Zapier payment levels then more users or employees can access Zapier. Some other items that can cause Zapier to cost more are the level of support provided and the customization needed for each individual user.
Is Zapier worth the cost?
Whether or not Zapier is worth the cost is based on your individual needs. Zapier can be very useful for connecting apps and automating services, but may not be cost-effective for each person.
If you have a large number of apps that need to be connected or services that can be automated, then Zapier may be cost-effective for you. The platform helps to save time and money which can give. you some free time back to handle other business needs.
But if you do not need to connect a wide range of apps or have a lot of services that can be automated, then Zapier may not be right for you. There may be other online services that are more affordable that can do the work for cheaper.
With the free trial, you can decide if you want to upgrade your trial to a paid subscription.
