Zapier
Widest-integration no-code automation
Free tier + paidAutomation & background jobszapier.com
What it is
The original consumer-grade automation service, with 9,000+ app integrations, far more than anyone else. Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths and webhooks on paid plans. Zapier MCP exposes 30,000+ actions to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and Zapier Agents adds a conversational agent builder.
Why it earns a slot
If an obscure SaaS tool has an integration anywhere, it is on Zapier. Reach for it when integration breadth matters more than price, or when you want an MCP endpoint over 30,000 actions without writing a server.
Know before you commit
Billing is per task, meaning every successful step in every Zap. The 100-task free tier evaporates fast, and each Zapier MCP tool call burns two tasks from that same bucket.
Neighbourhood
How Zapier sits against the rest of the atlas — swaps, companions and the tools builders actually save alongside it.
