About Zapier
Zapier is the industry-standard no-code automation layer — 6,000+ app integrations, triggers and actions you can wire up without writing code. Great until you need branching logic or self-hosting, at which point Make or n8n start to make more sense.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Largest app directory of any automation tool

Bottom line
Should you use Zapier?
Still the default for teams starting with automation. If you ever find yourself paying for 100K tasks a month, re-evaluate against Make or self-hosted n8n before renewing.
