I love Zapier and wish them the best. Been using them the past couple years to automate many things in my e-commerce business.

That being said, I come from a software background (As many here at HN do), and I recently found "Integromat" and have completely switched over all my Zapier automations to them. Their price point is much cheaper (Zapier was beginning to charge a few hundred a month for me - and now I'm down to $29/mo with Integromat which could be $9/mo if I wasn't impatient and wanted 1 minute intervals) - but the kicker for me was their UI and just the "programming" mindset that came along with it - I can do many more complex operations.

Just a happy customer - and hoping they have more success to continue improving their product.

Zapier is definitely a better fit for non-tech people, and more simple tasks though.

With $5 billion valuation, am I alone in suspecting that it's now only a matter of time before Zapier acquires Integromat?

Too late. Celonis already acquired Integromat[1].

Hi, I'm working on a low code alternative, which would allow complex operations too. May I please ask about what e-commerce tasks you're automating? First customer was for copying Shopify orders to Sheets in a specific format.

Thanks! marius@wensia.com

Thanks for this!

I love Zapier but I can't justify spending so much on these small automations I use it for. I'm piggybacking on my company account currently but Integromat looks really nice! Exactly what I've been looking for

I totally concur. I switched over to Integromat as well as I found their solution and UI much better. Both are great though and I still like zapier.

Hmmm, makes me want to check out Integromat further. I've tried it but have basically stuck with Automate as it's basic but there's enough to automate things. Zapier got a little hectic for some of these tasks too.
