Is Zapier free? What it actually costs in 2026
Yes, there is a free tier — with limits.
Free tier of 100 tasks/month; Professional from about $29.99/month (750 tasks, ~$19.99/month billed annually); Team about $103.50/month; Enterprise is custom-priced. Billing is per successful task, and usage above the plan allowance is charged automatically.
What you are locked into
Workflows (Zaps), connected-app credentials, and stored data live inside Zapier's cloud with no self-hosted deployment. There is no standard export/import format to move a library of Zaps to another platform, so migration means rebuilding automations by hand. You depend on Zapier's uptime, pricing, and continued support for each integration.
If you would rather not pay: Node-RED
Node-RED
Fully open-source, flow-based programming that runs on hardware as small as a Raspberry Pi.
