Zapier is a platform that helps people automate processes in their businesses by connecting various apps together in steps controlled by conditional logic of ‘if this then that’. On Zapier, you have free apps and premiums apps. What is the difference?
Zapier's free apps are ones that you can use in on any Zapier plan, including their free plan. On the other hand, Zapier premium apps are apps that you can only use in the Zapier paid plans.
To understand further, Zapier has 5 plans; Free, Starter, Professional, Team, and Company. The free plan gives you a glimpse into what is possible with Zapier. However, it has several limitations. Moving up into the paid plans, with the Starter plan, you can set up zaps using a maximum of 3 premium apps. However, in the higher plans – Professional and above – you can set up zaps using unlimited premium apps.
Zapier premium apps as marked as “premium” in the Zapier app directory.
Below are some Zapier premium apps and a summary of what they do. Check Zapier’s app directory for a full list of Zapier’s premium apps.
