Relay vs. Zapier: Which is best?

Nearly every automation platform now claims to offer AI agents. There's tremendous novelty—and value—in creating agents that can autonomously reach out to prospects, handle support requests, or prep for meetings. But what happens next? In many organizations, agents provide real time savings, but their effectiveness is limited because they operate in a silo.

Relay.app is built specifically for agents and workflows, with a polished onboarding experience that lets solopreneurs and small teams create agents quickly. Zapier is equally easy to use, but it scales quickly across organizations, and its agents are just one piece of a broader AI orchestration platform that includes chatbots, forms, process mapping, and 8,000+ app integrations.

Zapier vs. Celigo: Which is best?

NetSuite organizes monthly events for its users around the world, from Dubai to Sydney, and in each and every city you'll find a similar sight: people in Celigo shirts handing out swag. Officially, Celigo is an enterprise iPaaS solution with lots of use cases. But practically speaking, it's best known as the go-to platform for NetSuite integrations.

If you're processing thousands of eCommerce orders daily through NetSuite, Celigo should probably be a part of the solution. But most enterprises also want to boost productivity by encouraging every department to adopt AI and automation. Zapier is built to scale quickly across your organization by empowering every team to launch AI workflows and agents without developer support.

Pipedream vs. Zapier: Which is best?

"Developer-friendly" sounds like a good thing, and for the most part it is. But there's also an unspoken subtext: "business-team-unfriendly." Automation tools that put developers first can offer greater flexibility and customization, but it often comes at the expense of usability for nontechnical users. If you're trying to scale AI and automation quickly across your organization, there's a real opportunity cost at play when only developers can build workflows and agents.

Pipedream—which was acquired by Workday in December 2025—has a lot to offer developers who want to work in code. You can use multiple programming languages to connect apps, create automations, and design agents, giving your team fine-tuned control and opening up creative integration options. Pipedream also offers no-code and AI tools for less technical users.

Zapier, on the other hand, is designed for anyone to use. With Zapier's no-code AI orchestration platform, business teams and nontechnical users can build workflows, agents, chatbots, and complete business apps just by asking an AI assistant or clicking a template. Developers who prefer code also use Zapier's code steps for more control.

Zapier vs. IFTTT: Which should you use?

In his bestselling book Atomic Habits, productivity expert James Clear talks about the power of "onetime actions" that improve your life indefinitely. Automation is a perfect example: you can create workflows that remind you to apply sunscreen when the UV index is high, or that automatically turn off your home's lights at 9 p.m. so you go to bed earlier.

IFTTT works well for this sort of use case. It's a simple single-step automation app focused on habits, personal productivity, and smart home workflows. But if you're automating anything related to business, you'll quickly outgrow IFTTT's capabilities.

Zapier, on the other hand, is built for businesses of all sizes, from solopreneurs to enterprises. It's an AI orchestration platform that integrates automation into a broader suite of products, including chatbots, agents, databases, forms, and workflow diagramming. With Copilot, Zapier's AI assistant, even beginners can easily tie all of these products together into custom AI business systems.

Lindy vs. Zapier: Which is best?

AI still feels experimental for many businesses, but increasingly, there's a common endgame: agents (or "AI employees") that handle tasks autonomously. Agents have quickly gone from handling simple tasks, like logging meeting minutes, to more complex ones like project management and lead generation. Enterprises are using agents to get more done without raising headcount, and some ambitious solo founders are staying lean from day one by creating entire teams of agent helpers.

As exciting as agents are, they're most valuable when plugged directly into your business-critical systems. Zapier is an established AI orchestration platform used by the majority of the Fortune 1000; it uses agents to complement its broader ecosystem of app-to-app workflows, forms, chatbots, databases, and process mapping. Zapier Copilot, an AI assistant, works across all those products to create cohesive, reliable automated business systems.

Boomi vs. Zapier: Which is best?

Your business teams want to use AI and automation to make their lives easier, and they know exactly which pain points, inefficiencies, and annoying admin tasks they want to eliminate. But when every idea requires developer time, weeks of implementation, and back-and-forth tickets for iterations and changes, all that bottom-up momentum naturally fizzles.

Zapier is built for rapid experimentation. Even non-technical users can create AI-powered apps and workflows in hours, figure out what works, a...

Pabbly vs. Zapier: Which is best?

Automation tools used to do one thing: trigger actions across apps. Pabbly still works this way, and for some small businesses, that's enough.

But most automation platforms have evolved. Workflows are now just one piece of a broader AI orchestration effort that includes agents, chatbots, databases, and interactive apps. With the help of AI assistants, you can automate a complex employee onboarding process with roughly the same effort it once took to manually build a basic Gmail-to-Trello workflow.

Zapier vs. Airtable: Which is best?

Databases used to be intimidating to anyone except SQL developers. Airtable changed that: its databases feel like spreadsheets, complete with color coding and drag-and-drop layouts, while still offering advanced features like linked records, lookup fields, and rollups. Non-technical users can easily use Airtable to create apps that would've required expensive custom solutions a decade or so ago.

But as powerful as Airtable is for data, it's not always the best solution for cross-platform automation. Zapier is an AI orchestration platform, and even enterprises that use Airtable for data storage often turn to Zapier's 8,000+ prebuilt connectors and powerful AI orchestration tools to put that data to work across their tech stack. Zapier also offers a built-in database solution, Zapier Tables, so you can store, analyze, and act on your data all from one place.

Zapier vs. Power Automate: Which is best?

If your business uses Microsoft 365, you already have access to Power Automate. It's a capable automation platform that integrates deeply with Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics, and the rest of Microsoft's ecosystem. For Microsoft-to-Microsoft workflows, it's a smart place to start.

But most enterprises have a substantial portion of their tech stack spread across multiple vendors. While Power Automate offers modest support for outside apps, Zapier works natively across whatever combination of apps yo...

Zapier vs. UiPath: Which is best?

Some of the world's most critical infrastructure runs on technology that predates the internet. Updating it is risky and complex, so banking systems, government agencies, and insurance firms frequently apply the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule to the decades-old technology that powers their core systems.

UiPath rose to prominence by automating legacy systems like these with its robotic process automation (RPA) platform, which lets IT teams design robots that complete actions at the user...

Zapier vs. MuleSoft: Which is best?

Every enterprise technical leader wants to infuse AI across their organization. Actually making it happen is a different story. Frequent hurdles include cost, lack of in-house resources, and difficulty proving ROI.

Zapier is built with these challenges in mind, with pay-as-you-scale pricing, accessibility for non-technical teams, and powerful enterprise capabilities. MuleSoft is far pricier and more complex, but offers developers and integration architects unlimited flexibility.

Here's a full...

Zapier vs. Tray: Which is best?

It's easy to let edge cases influence your decision-making—thinking you need the most technical tool for the few times your developers will want to code their way out of a tough problem.

And with enterprise software, it's tempting to assume you have to choose between power and ease of use. But that's not always true. The best automation platforms deliver both, scaling to meet complex enterprise needs while remaining intuitive enough for anyone to start building right away.

You can use either Z...

Zapier vs. Gumloop: Which is best?

AI automation is everywhere right now, and platforms like Gumloop are betting that enterprises want tools built specifically for AI-first workflows. But here's the question: do you need a specialized app for niche AI workflows, or a platform that integrates AI more broadly into your existing business processes?

Most enterprises already use dozens of tools across departments, including CRMs, project management software, HR platforms, and communication apps. The real automation challenge isn't building standalone AI workflows; it's connecting AI capabilities to the apps your teams actually use every day.

Gumloop and Zapier both offer automation with AI capabilities, but they take fundamentally different approaches. Here's what to consider when deciding between them.

9 landing page best practices (with real examples)

Want to identify a bad landing page? Easy: look at it for five seconds. Try to figure out what it’s offering and why you should care. If you don't have clear answers after five seconds, it's a bad landing page. Great landing pages, on the other hand, hook users in milliseconds.

Zapier vs. Workato: Which is best?

Who should be able to build automations? Just IT, or everyone who needs them? It's a surprisingly philosophical question for enterprise decision-makers. Give IT the reins, and you get more control but risk bottlenecks as the rest of the organization waits on developer support. Let everyone create automations, and you get more innovation and faster deployments, but you have to extend more trust to your team.

This is the fundamental difference between Workato and Zapier. With sophisticated low-co...

Website navigation: How to design effective menus (9 examples)

When was the last time you actually strategized your website navigation instead of just copy-pasting it from your last project? Most designers focus on the format—sticky headers, responsive dropdowns, hamburger menus—and often skip the strategy. But jumping straight to the design phase ignores the core task of website navigation, which is to get users where they want to go in as few steps as possible.

Zapier vs. Make: Which is best?

Start small, then scale. It's good advice when you're automating processes in your business; most enterprise organizations start with a pilot project to figure out how much time they can actually save. But automation pilots tend to be run by technical staff, which means that scaling to non-technical departments is the first "real world" test your workflows will face.

What happens next? It depends on your automation platform. If it's intimidating to non-technical users, then rolling out automati...

What is a squeeze page? 5 examples & how to create one

Want to understand squeeze pages? Dust off a century-old copy of Scientific Advertising by direct marketing pioneer Claude Hopkins. It argues that advertising is science, not art, and that every ad needs one clear purpose and one call-to-action—with everything else stripped away. Squeeze pages adapt this idea for the internet: they’re distraction-free landing pages designed to drive signups and nothing else.

How to create a landing page that converts: 8 proven steps

Most landing pages fail to turn visitors into customers. Companies spend thousands on beautiful designs, run targeted ad campaigns, and drive quality traffic to pages that convert poorly. The problem isn't the traffic or even the offer. It's that most landing pages are built backwards.

How to build effective splash pages (with 10 real-world examples)

Wave vs. QuickBooks: Which is best?

When you start a business, one of the first pieces of advice you'll get is to find a good accountant, outsource your books, and focus on the parts of your business you're best at rather than fiddling with P&L statements. Is it good advice? Definitely. But after patchy experiences with accountants over the years, I'm one of those stubborn people who now insists on doing their own books—and user-friendly apps like Wave and QuickBooks make it easier than ever.

Webex vs. Zoom: Which is best?

Ask random people on the street about video conferencing apps, and they'll probably say either "Zoom" or "a video-what app?" But head to any corporate office park food truck line, and you'll start hearing a different name: Webex.

If you haven't checked in on these platforms lately, prepare to be surprised. Webex has evolved into something genuinely slick and user-friendly, a far cry from the clunky enterprise tool you might remember. Meanwhile, Zoom has moved on from the security concerns that...
