Zapier Pricing 2026: Plans, Task Costs and How to Pay Less
Zapier is free for 100 tasks a month, then costs $19.99/month for 750 tasks on Professional and $69/month for 2,000 tasks on Team, billed annually ($29.99 and $103.50 billed monthly). The number that matters is tasks: every action step in a Zap counts as one task, so multi-step automations use up a plan much faster than the plan name suggests.
- Free: 100 tasks/month, two-step Zaps, 15-minute polling, 1 seat.
- Professional: $19.99/month (annual) or $29.99 (monthly) for 750 tasks.
- Team: $69/month (annual) or $103.50 (monthly) for 2,000 tasks.
- Billing unit: one task per action step.

How tasks add up: a real example
Take a common workflow: a new form submission creates a CRM contact, sends a Slack message, adds a row to a spreadsheet, tags the contact and sends a welcome email. That is 5 actions, so 5 tasks per run.
| Runs per month | Tasks used | Fits in |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 100 | Not on Free: Free allows two-step Zaps only |
| 150 | 750 | Professional |
| 400 | 2,000 | Team |
| 1,000 | 5,000 | Above Team's included tasks |
In other words, Professional covers about 5 form submissions a day for this workflow.
When Zapier gets expensive, and what costs less
Zapier counts every step; its main rivals count differently:
- Make counts operations per module, but its free plan includes 1,000 credits a month and paid plans start at about $9 according to pricing guides.
- n8n counts one execution per workflow run, whatever the number of steps: the 1,000-run example above is 1,000 executions, within n8n Cloud Starter's 2,500 for €20/month (annual). Self-hosted n8n is free.
Try Make free → 1,000 credits a month on the free plan

How to pay less for Zapier
- Pay annually: Professional drops from $29.99 to $19.99 (33% less).
- Remove steps you don't need: each one costs a task on every run.
- Use filters early in a Zap so it stops before running costly actions.
- Move high-volume workflows to n8n or Make and keep Zapier for apps only it supports.
Estimate your tasks before you choose a plan
Multiply the number of actions in each Zap by how often it runs. The trigger does not count as a task; each action does.
| Actions per run | Runs per day | Tasks per month (30 days) | Plan needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 300 | Professional |
| 3 | 8 | 720 | Professional |
| 3 | 20 | 1,800 | Team |
| 5 | 50 | 7,500 | Above Team's 2,000 |
The free plan only allows two-step Zaps (one trigger, one action), so the first row needs Professional if it uses more than 100 tasks.
Annual or monthly billing?
| Plan | Monthly price | Annual price (per month) | Saving per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | $29.99 | $19.99 | $120 |
| Team | $103.50 | $69 | $414 |
Cost per 1,000 tasks
| Plan | Tasks included | Cost per 1,000 tasks (annual) | Cost per 1,000 tasks (monthly) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | 750 | $26.65 | $39.99 |
| Team | 2,000 | $34.50 | $51.75 |
Team costs more per task than Professional; you pay for collaboration features, not cheaper volume.
Which plan fits your situation?
- One person with a few simple automations: Free, if each Zap has a single action and stays under 100 tasks.
- A freelancer or small business with multi-step Zaps: Professional.
- A team sharing Zaps and accounts: Team.
- Anyone running thousands of multi-step runs: compare Make or n8n first; their billing grows more slowly with steps.
Questions to ask before you buy
- How many actions does each of your Zaps contain?
- How many times a day will each Zap run, at peak?
- Do you need faster than 15-minute polling? The free plan checks for new data every 15 minutes.
- How many people need to edit Zaps?
Zapier terms explained
- Zap: an automated workflow with one trigger and one or more actions.
