A no-code automation platform for small + mid-size teams. You can use Zapier to pass data from one app to another.
Zapier is the most popular integration and automation platform on the market. While they've had competitors arise over the years like Make, Tray, and Workato, they've managed to build one of the most user-friendly interfaces of them all, along with the largest number of deeply supported apps. Not a small feat whatsoever.
If you're using a modern software (take any app listed on our site for the most part), and there's sure to be a Zapier connector. This is pretty baffling when you really think about it.
When comparing Zapier vs Make for example, Make may look more user-friendly and accessible, but we're here to tell you that isn't the case. Make is more powerful with some inline formulas and other logic power features, but that definitely does not make it easier to use. If anything, it's easy to feel quite overwhelmed when first using Make.
Time and time again, in trying Make, we have found ourselves coming back to Zapier. It really can be bent and molded into what it needs to be.
In recent months, Zapier has gone incredibly deep into leveraging AI like OpenAI to rethink and evolve the integration space as a whole. This is something we applaud, and have been quite impressed by.
We're seeing Zapier slowly outgrow even just the integration world, and actually evolve into one of the best no code tools on the market. At the rate they are going with AI, alongside Tables and Interfaces, we wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing Airtable vs Zapier actually come up in the conversation in the future in the No-Code Builder space along with the Database space. For right now though, we'll have to award the winner to Airtable, but that doesn't mean we're not keeping a close eye on what Zapier has up its sleeve.
All-In-One CRM For Sales & Marketing
We'll get right to it: Avoid GoHighLevel at all costs.
GoHighLevel is essentially a software MLM. You have people that are trying to start businesses or agencies looking for an additional revenue stream, so they purchase GoHighLevel and re-sell it to their customers. So you have these layers on top of layers on top of layers that are selling GoHighLevel.
This is further messed up because you are purchasing a sub license to someone else's GoHighLevel account. Which means you're forever tied to the person who sold it to you, that is also charging you a premium for it. What if they decide to cancel their main GoHighLevel subscription? Or their payment lapses? Well that impacts you, since you sit under them in the purchasing pyramid.
Oh, not to mention you don't own any of your data either. If you want to truly run a business who a good software foundation, do not sign up for GoHighLevel.
