No-code automation across 10,234+ apps, billed per successfully completed action step; triggers, polling and built-in tools consume no tasks.
Teams that need the widest app coverage and run short workflows where only a few action steps fire per trigger, which is where per-task billing is cheapest. Suits operations, marketing and finance teams with no engineers, since triggers, filters, paths, formatter and looping steps cost nothing. The Team plan's 25 included seats and 1-minute polling fit a whole department on one shared task pool.
The billing unit is the task, defined as one successfully completed unit of work, which in practice means one action step. A Zap with six action steps firing a thousand times is six thousand tasks, so cost scales with workflow length, not workflow count. Pro starts at 750 tasks for $19.99/mo billed annually, and 10,000 tasks is $129/mo annually or $193.50 month to month. With pay-per-task on, overage is 2.5x the base rate on monthly plans and 1.25x on annual, pausing at 3x the subscription. Zapier Agents bill in a separate 'activity' unit where each trigger, knowledge-source search, action, web page visit and web search counts individually, with runs capped at 10 activities on Free and 40 on paid. Code by Zapier adds one task per 30-second block past the included runtime. Data is stored on AWS in the United States with no published alternative region.
Pros
Cons
Zapier counts a task whenever it successfully completes a unit of work for you. Successful action steps count, including AI by Zapier and Code by Zapier, as do programmatic calls such as Zapier MCP, where the documented example is two tasks per tool call. Triggers, polling, failed actions and built-in tools like Formatter, Paths, Filter, Delay, Looping, Sub-Zap, Digest, Storage, Tables and Forms do not count.
Because tasks are counted per action step, not per workflow run. A Zap with six action steps that fires a thousand times consumes six thousand tasks. Professional starts at just 750 tasks for nineteen dollars ninety-nine a month billed annually, so step-heavy workflows push you up the slider quickly. Ten thousand tasks on Professional is one hundred twenty-nine dollars annually billed, or one hundred ninety-three fifty monthly.
No. Agents are metered in activities, a separate allowance that does not draw on the Zap task pool. Zapier's help centre counts one activity for each trigger used, each answer from a knowledge source, each action run, each web browsing or scraping request, each web search and each Chrome Extension message. Free includes four hundred activities monthly and Professional fifteen hundred, with runs capped at ten and forty activities respectively.
Not from the published options. Zapier's security and compliance page states it stores data on Amazon Web Services in the United States, with no alternative region listed, and covers international transfers using standard contractual clauses in a data processing addendum. The MCP documentation names AWS US-East-1 and says region-specific residency is not available unless otherwise agreed. Enterprise gets custom retention control, which is not the same as residency control.
