Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Celigo
- Prices are not published on any of the three editions
- Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them
- API Builder, lookup caching and a sandbox all require the Professional edition
- Single sign-on is optional on Standard and included from Professional up
- Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only
Zapier Plus
- Task-based pricing model becomes expensive at scale (10,000 tasks per month costs approximately $600/month)
- Free plan limited to 2-step Zaps only and 100 tasks per month, with no access to webhooks or advanced features
- 15-minute polling interval on free plan prevents real-time automation triggers
- Limited support for complex nested conditional logic compared to workflow platforms like n8n or Make
- Third-party orchestration layer adds latency compared to native integrations within single platforms

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Zapier Plus: How much does Zapier cost and what is included in each plan?
Zapier offers a Free plan with 100 tasks per month at no cost. The Professional plan starts at $19.99 per month (billed annually) for 750 tasks, with pricing scaling up based on task volume. The Team plan starts at $69 per month for 2,000 tasks. Enterprise plans are custom priced. Annual subscriptions receive 33% off compared to month-to-month billing.
SourceZapier Plus: What is a task in Zapier and how much does it cost if I exceed my plan limit?
Each trigger and action pair in a Zapier workflow counts as one task. For example, a 5-step Zap that runs 1,000 times per month uses 5,000 tasks. If you exceed your plan's task limit, you can enable pay-per-task overage pricing. At higher volumes, Zapier can cost significantly more than competitors like Make or n8n.
SourceZapier Plus: What can I do with Zapier's free plan?
The Free plan includes 100 tasks per month, unlimited Zap workflows, unlimited Tables and Forms, two-factor authentication, and basic AI features. However, it is limited to simple 2-step Zaps (one trigger, one action), no webhook support, 15-minute polling intervals for trigger checks, and only 2,500 records in Tables.
SourceZapier Plus: How many apps and integrations does Zapier support?
Zapier supports integration with over 7,000 applications and services, including all major SaaS platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Stripe, Xero, and QuickBooks. This extensive app library is one of Zapier's main competitive advantages.
SourceZapier Plus: Does Zapier support webhooks and advanced workflow features?
Professional and higher plans support webhooks, allowing data from apps without native Zapier integrations. Multi-step Zaps support conditional paths, filters, and approval workflows. Code steps allow custom JavaScript or Python logic for advanced automation. The free plan does not support webhooks.
SourceZapier Plus: What are Zapier's limitations for complex automation scenarios?
Zapier's linear workflow builder struggles with deeply nested conditions and multi-outcome branching logic. As a third-party orchestration layer, Zapier adds latency compared to native integrations. Free plan polling is every 15 minutes, limiting real-time responsiveness. For high-volume automation (10,000+ tasks/month), Zapier becomes significantly more expensive than alternatives.
