Zapier connects apps with Zaps you build step by step. Rerun gives you AI agents that take a goal, pick the tools and adapt when something changes.
Last reviewed , against each product’s public pricing and docs.
The short answer
Pick Zapier for fixed, high-volume triggers between apps, like copying a form entry into a sheet, or when you need one of its 10,000+ integrations. Pick Rerun when the job needs judgment: reading an email, deciding what to do, following up, with files and memory kept on your workspace’s own machine. Rerun is a flat $29 a month for 5 agents, and never bills per task.
Choose Zapier if
- You need a trigger and an action, the same way, thousands of times a day
- Your stack relies on a niche app among Zapier’s 10,000+ integrations
- Your team already runs hundreds of Zaps that work
Choose Rerun if
- The task changes shape every time and the Zap keeps needing new paths
- You want to describe the job in plain words instead of mapping fields
- The job needs files, scripts or a browser, not only app-to-app calls
- You do not want the bill to grow with every step
Side by side
Rerun vs Zapier at a glance.
A Zap moves data between apps. A Rerun agent sorts the inbox, answers the lead and chases the invoice.
Setting it up
Pick a trigger, then add and map each step. Copilot can draft the Zap, and you maintain every step after that.
Describe the job in a sentence, like “triage my inbox every morning”. The agent plans the steps itself.
A case it has not seen
The Zap runs the same steps every time, so a new kind of email or record means another path or filter. A Zapier Agent decides for itself, within the 40 activities a run is allowed.
The agent reads each case, decides what it needs and asks you when it is unsure.
Files, code, a browser
Code runs as a step inside the Zap: 30 seconds included per step on Pro, then a task per extra 30-second block. No machine keeps files or a browser between runs.
Your workspace’s private machine: agents write files, run scripts, drive a browser and keep databases there between runs.
What it remembers
Each run starts blank. Anything to carry over goes into a Table or a storage step you build.
It writes down what you corrected and keeps its files and tables, so run 50 knows what run 1 learned.
The AI behind it
AI steps are billed in tasks by model tier, and Zapier’s own example puts one MCP tool call at 2 tasks.
Run on the Rerun model included in the plan, sign in with the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already pay for, or bring an API key.
While you are away
A Human in the Loop step pauses the Zap until a reviewer answers or the timeout runs out.
With Autopilot on, Rerun answers your agents within your rules, never for spending or deleting, and has a recap ready when you return.
What running it costs
Every action step is a task: 750 a month for $19.99 billed yearly. Zapier Agents are billed apart, in activities, 1,500 a month on Pro, and one run stops at 40 and asks you.
$29 a month for 5 agents. Rerun counts neither runs nor steps.
Key differences
Where Rerun and Zapier part ways.
Four differences that change your day to day, shown on the real product.
A goal, not a flowchart
Connect your stackIn Zapier you pick a trigger, then every action and field mapping, or ask Copilot to draft them and keep maintaining them. In Rerun you tell the agent what the job is, sign in to Gmail, Notion or Stripe, and it works out the steps on each run.
A computer, not just connectors
Give it a machineA Zap passes data from one app to the next, and code inside it gets 30 seconds a step before it costs another task. A Rerun agent works on your workspace’s private machine: it writes files, runs scripts, drives a browser and keeps its own databases, so it can build the report, not just move the numbers.
It adapts instead of breaking
See how it learnsA renamed column or a new email format can break a Zap’s field mapping. A Rerun agent reads what is in front of it, remembers what you corrected, and reads one company brain that holds your offer, your prices and your tone.

Flat price, runs not counted
Automate a taskZapier counts every action step as a task, with AI and code steps in the same pool, and bills Zapier Agents apart in activities: 1,500 a month on Pro, and a single run stops at 40 and comes back to ask you. Rerun is $29 a month for 5 agents, and an agent that works every hour costs the same as one that works once a day.

Read the comparisonFAQ
Rerun vs Zapier, your questions.
Is Rerun a Zapier alternative?
Yes, for work that needs judgment. Zapier moves data between apps along a path you design. Rerun agents take a goal, choose the tools and handle the cases a fixed path does not cover. Many teams keep simple Zaps and move the fragile ones to Rerun.
Does Rerun charge per task like Zapier?
No. Rerun is a flat plan from $29 a month and never counts runs or steps. You pay for capacity, meaning agents and model credit, seats are free and unlimited, and the AI can run on your own ChatGPT or Claude plan or API key instead of the included credit.
How is Rerun different from Zapier Agents?
Zapier Agents run inside Zapier and are billed per activity: 1,500 a month on Pro, and one run stops at 40 activities and asks for your input. A Rerun agent works on your workspace’s private machine, keeps files, databases and memory between runs, and is never counted per run.
Can Rerun use the apps I connect in Zapier?
Rerun reaches 3,000+ apps and any MCP server. The big ones take a single sign-in, Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Notion, Stripe, Linear, Asana, Outlook; Slack and HubSpot take a token you create once and paste in. Zapier still has the larger catalog, with 10,000+ apps, so check your niche apps first.
Do I need to code to switch from Zapier to Rerun?
No. You describe the job in plain words and connect your apps. There are no fields to map and nothing to install.
