What does it cost?

Zapier price: $19.99 a month flat (Professional plan). No per-seat price. Task-based, no per-seat price: Professional from $19.99/mo; Team from $69/mo (25 users); Free $0. Source: vendor pricing page, checked 2026-11-10. Vendor site: Zapier site. Put your plan's price into the estimator below if it differs.

Example values: replace every number with your own. None of them is vendor data.

Self-hosting saves about $780 a year for 20 seats: SaaS $2,400 vs self-host $1,620 (server $144, backups $36, admin time $1,440). Break-even at about 14 seats at these numbers.

Functions differ: an open-source tool rarely matches every Zapier feature. Self-hosting means you handle updates, backups and security. Sponsored plate: none yet. Advertise.
