The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Zapier, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it.
