Zapier’s reach, with budgets, approvals and an audit trail.
Zapier publishes a catalogue of over ten thousand apps, and it is the fastest way to wire two SaaS tools together. Teams outgrow it when automation becomes infrastructure: many tenants on one control plane, AI spend that has to be capped, and a step a human must approve before it runs. Every Zapier figure below is quoted from Zapier’s own pages, with the date we read it.
Every Zapier figure on this page is quoted from a page Zapier publishes, and links to it with the date we read it (oldest: 2026-09-22). OCNORA numbers are counted from the running catalogue on 2026-09-22. We do not state what Zapier lacks — only what each of us publishes.

| What | OCNORA | Zapier, as Zapier publishes it | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catalogue, as each vendor counts it | 1,000+ providers · 7,600+ node types | 10,135+ appszapier.com/apps · 2026-09-22 | Different units: OCNORA counts providers and node types; the other vendor counts its own unit. Neither number converts into the other. Zapier’s own agents page cites 9,000+ apps on the same date, so even one vendor’s two pages do not agree. |
| Free tier | None; every deployment is quoted — see /pricing | 100 tasks/mozapier.com/pricing · 2026-09-22 | |
| Entry paid plan | Quoted on executions and AI spend | Professional — $19.99/mo billed annually, 750 tasks/mozapier.com/pricing · 2026-09-22 | |
| Team plan | Unlimited users in a workspace | Team — $69/mo billed annually, 2,000 tasks/mo, 25 userszapier.com/pricing · 2026-09-22 | |

| Billing unit | Workflow executions and AI spend | Tasks per monthzapier.com/pricing · 2026-09-22 | A Zapier task and an OCNORA execution are not the same unit; a multi-step workflow is one execution here and several tasks there. |
| SOC 2 stated by the vendor | SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3zapier.com/security-compliance · 2026-09-22 | OCNORA documents its controls and shares them under NDA, and does not claim an attestation it does not hold. | |
| SSO stated by the vendor | SSO, SCIM and domain capturezapier.com/security-compliance · 2026-09-22 | OCNORA: Dashboard users sign in with email and password, with multi-factor authentication, or through OIDC or SAML 2.0 (SP-initiated) single sign-on where the installation has an identity provider configured; SCIM 2.0 provisions users and groups from that identity provider. Embedded users arrive through JIT SSO. No domain capture. | |
| AI agents stated by the vendor | Zapier Agentszapier.com/agents · 2026-09-22 | OCNORA: a provider-neutral agent node inside the workflow graph, under per-tenant token and USD budgets. |

Pricing follows executions and AI spend; see pricing.
The governance layer, as part of the engine.
These are statements about OCNORA, not about anyone else. Check them against the other vendor yourself — we would rather you did.
AI budgets per tenant
Token and USD caps per workspace, per provider and per workflow, with threshold alerts and a circuit breaker that stops spend rather than warning about it after the fact.
Workflow Health before the first run
A validation, pre-flight and dry run that checks connections, hosts, expressions and unknowable values before a workflow is ever allowed to touch production — plus an Auto Fix worker for what it can repair safely.
Human-in-the-loop as a node
An approval step is part of the graph, not a webhook you wire up yourself. The run parks, the approver sees the payload, and the decision lands in the audit log.
A multi-tenant control plane
One installation serves many customers: per-tenant budgets, plugins, secrets and licences, with JIT SSO when the builder is embedded inside your own product.
An audit record of every mutation and run step
Every change and every step input, output and decision is recorded, with envelope-encrypted secrets and PII crypto-shred.
21 UI languages
The builder and the dashboard ship translated, not machine-substituted at render time.
When Zapier is the better choice.
We would rather you pick the right tool than pick us and regret it.
You need a very long tail of SaaS apps
Zapier publishes 10,135+ apps; OCNORA publishes fewer typed providers, plus an HTTP node and a request queue when one is missing. If breadth of long-tail SaaS is the whole requirement, that difference is the answer.
Procurement requires a SOC 2 report
Zapier states SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3. OCNORA documents its controls and shares them under NDA.
Nobody has to approve anything
If your automations are two-step notifications with no spend and no risky write, a governance layer is overhead you do not need yet.
If none of those are blockers and you need per-tenant budgets, approvals in the engine, a health check before the first run, or one control plane for many customers, OCNORA is the shorter path. See the product or enterprise, or compare against something else.
Where every Zapier figure came from
This site states nothing about Zapier that is not printed on a page Zapier publishes. Each source below was read on the date shown. Where a capability is not on this page, it means we could not source it from Zapier — not that Zapier lacks it. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
