The short version

  • Only Zapier has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: TeamViewer pricing page gates all figures behind plan selection with no listed price for its Teams and Tensor Enterprise tiers, which are described as a fully customized license requiring sales contact; Zapier the free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

TeamViewer

  • Pricing page gates all figures behind plan selection with no listed price for its Teams and Tensor Enterprise tiers, which are described as a fully customized license requiring sales contact
  • Add-on modules (Asset Management, Endpoint Protection, Device Monitoring, Assist AR Lite, Mobile Device Management) are sold separately from the core license, only offered with a 30-day free trial before charges apply

Zapier

  • The free plan allows 100 tasks per month and only two-step Zaps, one trigger and one action
  • Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths, webhooks and the formatter all require a paid plan
  • Premium app connectors are withheld from the free plan
  • Free Zaps poll for new data every 15 minutes against 2 minutes on Professional and 1 minute on Team
  • Paying monthly rather than annually costs 50 percent more, so the 2,000-task Professional plan is $73.50 a month instead of $49
