Latenode vs Zapier

Latenode is an AI workflow automation platform for building AI agents and chatbots, business processes, data pipelines, and developer workflows. A drag-and-drop canvas brings together more than 1,200 AI models and over 5,500 integrations, including services such as Salesforce, Slack, Gmail, Notion, Jira, and PostgreSQL. For custom connections, users can send HTTP requests to any API and run JavaScript in every node. Its AI assistant can explain nodes, lay out proposed scenarios, place nodes on the canvas, and suggest fixes when workflows fail. A webhook trigger provides development and production URLs and accepts GET or POST requests; a headless browser supports Puppeteer scripts for dynamic pages, extraction, and testing. Billing counts workflow execution in CPU seconds rather than multiplying costs by steps. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 10,000 CPU seconds monthly, five active workflows, one parallel execution, ten connected accounts, a three-minute execution limit, and three days of history. Latenode runs on the web and via API.

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.
