Zapier’s free plan allows 100 tasks/month across 5 Zaps — enough to test the platform but not for real automation. Paid plans start at $29.99/month for 750 tasks. This guide shows you which plan matches your automation volume.

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For
- Task overages: Zapier charges per additional task bundle when you exceed your plan limit — typically $0.04–$0.09 per task depending on plan.
- Premium apps: Some integrations (Salesforce, Workday, certain databases) require a Professional plan or higher regardless of your task volume.
- Paths add-on: Conditional logic (if/then branching) requires the Professional plan — not included in Free.
- Storage Zaps: Long-running Zaps that store data externally may count additional tasks per step.
Frequently Asked Questions About Zapier Pricing
What counts as a Zapier task?
Each successful action in a Zap counts as one task. A 3-step Zap that runs 100 times uses 300 tasks (100 per step). The trigger itself doesn’t count — only actions do.
Is Zapier free forever?
Yes, Zapier’s free plan is permanent. It allows 5 active Zaps and 100 tasks/month with no expiration. The limitation is 2-step Zaps only and a 15-minute polling interval.
How much does Zapier cost for a small business?
Most small businesses land on the Professional plan ($29.99/mo for 750 tasks) or Team ($103.50/mo for 2,000 tasks + multiple users). Annual billing saves ~33%.
Can I upgrade mid-month on Zapier?
Yes. Upgrading takes effect immediately and you’re charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the billing cycle.
