Zapier charges $19-69/month for 750-2000 tasks. Most small businesses run 500-2000 automations/month. FairFlow: $0.005-0.02/run. 1,000 runs = $5-20. 86-96% cheaper.

A Zapier alternative that charges per run, not per month.

Zapier connected everything. Then they started charging $19/month for 750 tasks — and every step in a multi-step Zap counts as a task. A 5-step workflow triggered 100 times uses 500 of your 750 tasks.

Why people leave Zapier

Task-based pricing

Every step counts. A 5-step Zap triggered 100 times = 500 tasks. Your 750 monthly tasks vanish fast.

$19/mo minimum

Free plan is 100 tasks — barely useful. Starter at $19/mo. Professional at $49/mo. Teams at $69/mo.

Multi-step tax

Simple trigger→action is 2 tasks. Add a filter? 3 tasks. Add a formatter? 4 tasks. Complexity is punished.

Overage charges

Go over your task limit? Zapier pauses your Zaps. Your automations stop working mid-workflow.
