What you give up either way
- Access to Zapier's 9,000+ pre-built app integrations
- Enterprise controls: SSO/SCIM, domain capture, advanced admin permissions
- Audit logs, log streaming, and built-in observability integrations
- SOC 2 / SOC 3 compliance and GDPR/CCPA features out of the box
- Managed connections, pre-built templates, and enterprise support/TA
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Zapier, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
