Relevance AI vs Zapier
The short version
- Only Zapier has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Relevance AI pricing is per task rather than per seat, with the vendor's own published example showing a customer running 1.24 million tasks a month for $11,800, and individual agent runs ranging $0.01 to $0.11 depending on the model, as of August 2026.; Zapier the free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action
