Zapier Pricing (2026)

Starting at $19.99+/mo

Zapier is priced starting at $19.99+/mo, sitting in the middle of the pack in automation. It scores 7.8/10 in our overall review. This page unpacks what each plan actually gets you, what the real monthly spend looks like at different team sizes, and where Zapier's pricing earns its keep or fails to.

The quick read on Zapier: The easiest way to connect apps without code. Zapier's 6,000+ integrations make it the go-to for simple automations. But at scale, the per-task pricing adds up fast and the linear workflow model feels limiting compared to Make's visual approach.

Zapier Plans Explained

Each tier in plain English. What unlocks at each level, and when to upgrade.

Free — 100 tasks/mo

Free is priced at 100 tasks/mo. Check the vendor page for current terms before signing up.

Starter — $19.99/mo (750 tasks)

At $20/mo, Starter is the tier Zapier wants you to pick. It fills the gaps in the entry plan and adds the integrations and automation that most teams discover they need in week two. Budget for this from day one if you're serious about using Zapier.

Professional — $49/mo (2K tasks)

Professional costs $49/mo. It's a step-up from the base plan, typically with more automation, higher limits, or advanced integrations. Worth it only if you can point to a specific feature on this tier that you actually need.

Team — $69.50/mo (shared)

At $70/mo, Team is the ceiling of the self-serve pricing. It bundles in the features teams ask for after they hit scale. Good value if you actually use them, expensive padding if you don't.

What You Actually Pay: Team Size Math

Zapier's Starter plan is a flat $20/mo regardless of team size. That changes the math dramatically compared to per-seat tools:

Team SizeMonthlyYearly
Solo founder$20/mo$240/yr
5-person team$20/mo$240/yr
10-person team$20/mo$240/yr
25-person team$20/mo$240/yr

These numbers assume list pricing on the Starter tier. Annual prepay usually saves 15-20%, and enterprise seats often get volume discounts. Ask sales for a quote before you commit to more than 10 seats.

What's Included in Zapier Pricing

Every plan includes the core Zapier feature set. Here's what you get access to on paid tiers:

  • Zaps (automations)
  • Multi-step workflows
  • Filters and paths
  • Webhooks
  • Scheduled triggers
  • AI actions

Feature depth grows with the tier. Entry plans cap on automation, integrations, or usage limits. Upper plans unlock the heavier features that mid-market teams actually need. Read the vendor's feature matrix before picking a tier, especially if one specific feature is the reason you're buying.

What to Watch Out For

The most common pricing complaints buyers raise about Zapier:

  • Per-task pricing gets expensive at scale
  • Linear workflows only, no branching logic on cheaper plans
  • Advanced features locked behind $69+/mo plans

None of these are deal-breakers on their own. They're the things you want to negotiate or plan around before you sign a contract. The worst time to discover an add-on fee is month three.

How Zapier Pricing Compares to Automation Alternatives

Price alone is a bad way to pick tools. But it's a useful sanity check. Here's how Zapier's starting price lines up against the other automation tools we rate:

If Zapier's sticker shock is real for you, run the math on the cheaper options in this table. Some of them cover 80% of what Zapier does at half the price. Others are meaningfully weaker and not worth the saving. Our category guide on best automation breaks down the trade-offs in detail.

The Sultan's Verdict on Zapier Pricing

Zapier lands in the solid-but-not-exceptional zone. The 7.8/10 score reflects a product that does its job well, but there are cheaper tools that cover the same ground and pricier tools that do more. Whether $19.99+/mo is worth it depends on how closely your workflow matches what Zapier is built for.

The fit test is simple. Zapier is built for non-technical teams that need simple app-to-app automations. If that's you, the pricing is worth it. If it's not, you'll end up paying for features you never touch while missing features you actually need. Buy the tool that fits your motion, not the one with the best pricing page.

The bottom line: Zapier's pricing is defensible if you actually use what it's good at. Its biggest strength is 6,000+ app integrations, the largest in the market, and that's where the money goes. If that strength maps to a real pain point in your business, pay the price. If not, walk away and pick something cheaper.
