Which one is for you
Pick Rewst if
- Fits if you run an MSP and bill by client organization
- Works for MSP teams automating onboarding and billing reconciliation
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you're not an MSP, as the pricing and the product are built around client organizations
- Skip it if you need a price up front: none is published and the page sends you to a demo
- Watch out: execution history is kept for 30 days, so older runs won't be there to look at
- Tight if you want to try it first, as no free plan or trial is listed
- Watch out: the AI allowance is capped at 5% of the monthly invoice unless you bring your own AI key
Pick Zapier if
- Fits if one of your apps is obscure, since Zapier lists more than 9,000 of them
- Works for short chains, like a new Stripe payment adding a row in Google Sheets and pinging Slack
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you run thousands of tasks: AI steps cost up to 5 tasks each, and Professional tops out at $3,389 a month
- Tight if you're staying free, with 100 tasks a month, two steps per Zap and new data checked only every 15 minutes
- Watch out: overages are on by default at a higher rate Zapier doesn't publish, and Zaps pause at 3 times your limit
- Pricey if two of you want to share Zaps, because that means Team at $69 a month, while Make starts at $9
- Not for you if you want to build or fix automations from your phone or a desktop app, as there's neither
How we grade them
| 1.6GPARewstWeak | 2.6GPAZapierGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo rates are shown: the page explains per-client pricing, says the rate falls as you add bands of client organizations, and asks for a demo. With nothing on record it sits at C. | C$19.99 a month billed annually puts Zapier just past this category's $19 middle, so the price itself is ordinary. What it buys: 750 tasks and one user, where viaSocket gives 17,000 tasks for $18 and Make 5,000 credits for $9. You're paying for the app list, not the allowance. |
| Free plan and trial | FNothing free is listed: no free plan and no trial. The way in is a demo request. | CFree forever, and the caps arrive almost immediately: 100 tasks a month, two steps per Zap, one user, and a check for new data only every 15 minutes. One small job will fit. Two won't. New accounts do get 14 days of Professional with no card. |
| Features | CAutomations, forms, dashboards and an AI agent, with unlimited users and automations on every account. Execution history is kept for only 30 days, and it's built for MSPs, so it's a narrower job than general automation. | AThe app directory lists more than 9,000 apps, where Make lists about 3,000. On top of that: multi-step Zaps, filters, paths, webhooks, Tables, Forms, Canvas, AI agents and an MCP server. Multi-step Zaps, filters and paths need a paid plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You build workflows, forms and integrations first, so there's a learning curve. | CNo store rating to go on, since it lives in the browser. And it's a build job: apps to connect, then triggers, actions, filters and paths to think in. One Hacker News commenter called the whole thing an impenetrable mess aimed at marketers. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. The listing names no integrations beyond saying it connects to the tools an MSP already runs. | BA browser and a Chrome extension, and that's your lot. No phone app we could find and nothing for the desktop. What you get instead is connections: 9,000-plus apps, webhooks, an SDK and an MCP server for assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. |
| Best for | automating work at an MSP | connecting almost any two apps |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
