Allying vs
Zapier Agents.
Zapier Agents lets you build an agent that works across 9,000+ apps, free for 400 activities a month or $400 a year for 1,500. Allying does the job you posted for 30% of the salary in your posting, a month, with a monthly minimum for each job, a named person who answers for it and the first week done before any conversation.
What Zapier Agents does well
Zapier Agents is the cheapest way in these comparisons to hand a task to an AI: build a specialized agent, with the help of Zapier Copilot, connect it to your business data, and have it do work across 9,000+ apps on command or while you sleep [2]. It can browse the web, read a live data source or the knowledge you attach, and act through the apps you connect; a Chrome extension lets you talk to it on any page [1]. If the task is one repeated step across tools you already use, Zapier is a fine place to start, and the free plan is real.
How Zapier Agents is sold
Free: run automated behaviors up to 400 times a month, with live data sources, web browsing and the Chrome extension [1]. Pro: $400 billed annually, which the page shows as $33.33 a month, for up to 1,500 activities a month [1]. Enterprise: contact for pricing, with a custom number of activities, agent sharing across the organization, audit logs and restricted-app support [1]. An activity is any action the agent takes in a behavior or in chat, browsing the web, or looking up attached knowledge; a Team account shares one pool of activities [1]. Activities are separate from the tasks on Zapier's core plans, which start free at 100 tasks a month and at $19.99 a month on an annual plan for 750 tasks on Professional [1].
The honest differences
Zapier Agents does the first of the five things a job is, the tasks, once you have built the agent. The rest of the job stays with you.
| What a job is | Zapier Agents | Allying |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | A tool you build and run: it does the step you described, across the apps you connected. | Allying does the whole job on the posting, with a named specialist who answers for it. |
| The first week | Free today, 400 activities a month; Pro is $400 for the year. | The first week of the job is done before any conversation and before the first dollar; then a free week, starting with a short call. |
| Who answers for it | Nobody in particular: you check what it did. | A named person with a face, a phone number and expertise in the job. Every action is on the record, with a daily note and a weekly report. |
| Where the work happens | In your Zapier account, the apps you connect and the Chrome extension. | In your own channels, Slack, Teams, text, WhatsApp or email, with its own phone number. Nothing reaches a customer without your yes until you say it no longer needs asking. |
| What it costs | Free, or $400 a year ($33.33 a month) for 1,500 activities a month. | $1,500 a month on a $60,000 posting (30% of the posted salary, after a free week) |

The price that is not on the page is your time: building the agent, checking what it did, and fixing it when it does something odd in front of a customer.
