HubSpot vs. Mailchimp: Which is right for you? [2026]

Mailchimp is an SMB-focused email marketing tool. HubSpot is an all-in-one enterprise marketing platform. Simple enough to choose between them, right? Not so fast: Mailchimp also has an enterprise tier, and HubSpot also has a $15/month starter plan—and a free plan.

If you're a local business owner wearing a ton of hats, Mailchimp is an easy pick. And HubSpot is definitely for you if you're a large org with hundreds of employees. But there are lots of businesses caught in the middle. If that's you, it's worth exploring the nuances of each platform so you can figure out which makes sense.

For this article, I spent time in both apps to dig into the differences between HubSpot and Mailchimp and see how they stack up. Here's what I found.

Zoho Inventory vs Sortly: 2026 comparison guide

If you're comparing Zoho Inventory and Sortly, there's a good chance one of them is clearly wrong for your business and you don't know it yet.

Zoho Inventory—as you might guess from its name—is an inventory management platform, but it also handles everything you need for order fulfillment, including multichannel selling, sales orders, warehouse management, shipping labels, and real-time shipping costs. Sortly is a much simpler, easier-to-use platform built to help small businesses keep track of their physical inventory and materials.

We tested both platforms, dug into documentation, and surveyed the latest user feedback on Reddit to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of each app so you can figure out which makes sense for you. Here's what we found.

Claude 4.6: A guide to Anthropic's AI models and chatbot

I've been using Claude long enough to remember when the main selling point was that it was a nicer chatbot to talk to than the alternatives. (That's still true, for what it's worth.) But Claude no longer just talks to you about your work; it also does your work for you. You can give Claude a project, head off to make a coffee, and check in occasionally when questions pop up.

For enterprises looking to turn AI hype into real productivity gains, Claude has become the default choice. And Claude is equally popular at smaller companies among developers, writers, and teams who just want an AI that can handle genuinely complex work.

In this article, I'll explore what makes Claude a powerhouse in enterprise AI and a favorite among professionals who want an AI that actually does things.

The 6 best event management software in 2026

Peek behind the curtain of the average event and you might be surprised at how many are run with Google Sheets, email, and a calendar app. For small events, that’s often enough.But many event planners jump between spreadsheets, ticketing and registration apps, vendor management tools, project management apps, and an attendee-facing events platform. That’s usually where the search for an all-in-one events management platform starts. (As one event planner put it, ”Juggling 10 platforms is driving...

7 Best AI-Powered Databases for 2026

It’s no secret that spreadsheets don’t scale. They’re great for getting started—but as your business grows, they quickly turn into a source of friction. Duplicate files. Broken formulas. Version confusion. And data that falls apart the moment multiple people need to collaborate.That’s where no-code databases come in. They replace spreadsheets with structured, relational databases that let you organize data properly, connect related records across tables, and work from a single source of truth—wi...

Freshdesk vs. Zendesk: Which should you use?

As your business grows, customer support gets harder. It's far easier to drop the ball when you're juggling multiple support channels, handling high volumes of customer requests, and doing it all while training a growing customer service team.

But customers don't care about your scaling challenges; if they have a bad experience, they won't hesitate to leave a negative review.

Good customer service software prevents that from happening. I tested Zendesk and Freshdesk, two of the most popular platforms on the market, to see how they stack up.

Coda vs. Notion: Which app is right for you? [2026]

I've been using Notion to take notes and organize my life for a few years now. But after hearing enough rumblings about Coda (now owned by Grammarly) as an equally powerful alternative, I decided to take it for a spin to see how it stacks up against my tried-and-true.

I spent time comparing the two tools, feature for feature. Here's what I discovered—and how to decide which is right for you.

Integrately vs. Zapier: Which is best? [2026]

Most businesses sign up for an automation platform to fix a specific annoyance. There's only so much copy-paste work you can take before you finally reach the limits of your patience, search "Typeform to HubSpot automation," and find yourself researching whether Integrately or Zapier is the right fit.

Integrately is an automation-only platform that's built for one-off workflows like this. But sooner or later, most businesses start asking more questions, like: "Can we filter leads before adding...

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.

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.
