Zapier pricing does not punish simple workflows. The problem is that no agency actually operates on simple workflows. A 5-step client onboarding Zap firing on 200 new clients per month burns 1,000 tasks. That blows past Professional’s 750-task ceiling in the first week. Add two more active Zaps and you are already on the Team plan at $69/month. The task meter scales with your growth, not with the value it delivers.
