Celigo vs Zapier

Celigo is a web-based integration and automation platform that connects apps, marketplaces, ERPs, 3PLs, and trading partners through more than 1,000 pre-built connectors. It supports workflow orchestration, data transformation, real-time sync, on-premises connectors, and API management. Integrations can be built through the user interface, code, CLI, MCP, or API, as well as through conversation with Celigo Ora. Ora can also help manage and troubleshoot automations. API management covers RESTful, SOAP, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs. The platform uses a hybrid deployment model and lists security controls including MFA, role-based access, audit visibility, and SOC 2 compliance. Editions include support packages with SLAs; support options include a help center, ticketing, community, customer success, and professional services. The free plan lists two endpoints, one flow, and one production environment. A separate 30-day trial provides full platform access. Celigo says it has no overage fees or unexpected usage cost spikes.

Zapier connects apps through automated workflows called Zaps. Each Zap starts with a trigger and carries out one or more actions; a task counts when a successful action moves data or completes work. The service offers automation across more than 9,000 apps, with multi-step workflows, conditional logic and webhook triggers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 100 tasks per month, unlimited Zaps limited to two steps, one user and a 15-minute polling interval. Polling for new data does not count toward tasks, but successful actions do. Without pay-per-task billing, workflows pause at the task limit until the next usage period. Professional starts at $19.99 per month and Team starts at $69.00 per month; both offer free trials. Team includes 25 users and shared Zaps, folders and app connections. Annual billing has a lower monthly fee, with a 33% saving shown in the pricing selector. Zapier is web-based and headquartered in San Francisco, California.
