Zapier is more of an integration, workflow automation, less-so an AI agent platform. If you're considering Zapier or Sintra, we'd just say Motion is a better option when looking at the best AI Employee platforms on the market.
We believe there are better options available in this category, read below to learn what this software does well, and what they could do better. ⤵
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.
Build, grow, and scale your business with a team of AI helpers.
Sintra is an AI-powered business assistant for people who have very little experience using AI but want to dabble more with it. Instead of you prompting the AI, Sintra's "helpers" ask you simple questions, review your website, and proactively suggest business tasks like improving web copy, writing email sequences, or creating content calendars. It’s designed to make AI feel fun and easy for overwhelmed business owners.
If you're already using ChatGPT for your business, especially if you've been using it for a while, it will execute better on tasks than Sintra.
Motion also launched AI Employees, which have some similarities with Sintra but we find Motion executes on tasks better as it has more context on your business. Further, Motion is a serious project management tool with the AI Employees as a bonus, while Sintra's main value prop is just the "AI Helpers".
