Users move off Zapier mainly over limits and metering. The free plan allows two-step Zaps and 100 tasks per month, and webhooks need a paid plan. AI Agents Pro ($400/yr) and Chatbots Pro ($160/yr) are bought separately, and pricing scales with task volume, so high-volume automations get expensive. Professional starts at $19.99/mo and Team at $69/mo, both with a starting task tier.
In a replacement, check how many steps a free workflow can have, whether webhooks and multi-step logic are included, and whether billing is per task or flat. Also decide if you need AI agents and chatbots bundled in, and whether the app connections you rely on exist. Zapier connects 9,000+ apps, which is a high bar. Our verified profile does not list alternatives yet, so we name none here.

Zapier itself has a free plan with 100 tasks per month and two-step Zaps only, no credit card required. We have not verified other tools as alternatives yet, so check any option's free-plan limits and webhook access.
The documented pain points are the free plan's two-step and 100-task limits, separately priced Agents and Chatbots, and cost that grows with task volume. Webhooks also require a paid plan.
Stay if you need its 9,000+ app integrations and an MCP server for AI tools. Annual billing saves 33%, which lowers the effective monthly cost on Professional and Team.
Compare free-plan task and step limits, whether webhooks are included, how overage is billed, and whether agents and chatbots cost extra. Also confirm that your key apps are supported.
