Zapier
Zapier connects over 7,000 apps into If-Then workflows. It's the easiest way to get started with automation, but can quickly get expensive.
Zapier is the most well-known automation service in the no-code space. You connect two or more apps to create a Zap: New web form entry, then create contact in CRM, then send Slack notification. With over 7,000 connected apps, Zapier covers more tools than any alternative.
Typical uses: transferring leads from Typeform to HubSpot, saving invoice attachments from Gmail to Google Drive, collecting Shopify orders in Airtable. Its strength lies in its ease of getting started: A simple Zap can be set up in five minutes, with no learning curve.
The catch is the price. Once you consume many tasks per month, Zapier becomes significantly more expensive than Make, which bills by operations and includes a visual editor. n8n is the option for tech teams who want to self-host.
Zapier is a good fit if you want to quickly automate a few routine tasks without a learning curve, and the app catalog is a deciding factor. For many high-volume workflows, Make will be more cost-effective in the long run.
