Azaris vs Zapier
Zapier fires the rules you wired together; Azaris takes a goal and works out the steps. Rules are metered per task. Goals come at one flat price.
The core difference
Zapier is plumbing you build: when X happens, do Y. It's excellent plumbing, but you are still the engineer. You design the zaps, maintain them when an app changes, and pay per task as volume grows. Azaris doesn't ask you to draw the diagram. You say what you want done; it reads the situation, uses the tools you connected, and handles the case the diagram never anticipated (the odd invoice, the reply that needs judgment) by drafting and asking you.

What Zapier is great at
- High-volume, deterministic pipes: form → CRM, sale → sheet.
- An enormous connector library, battle-tested for years.
- Cases where you never want judgment, only the same step, always.
Where Azaris fills the gap
- Work that needs reading and judgment before acting.
- Asks that span tools in one sentence, with no build step.
- A predictable bill: busy weeks don't multiply your tasks.
- Someone to hand the job to, instead of a system to maintain.
The metering problem
Per-task pricing means your costs scale with your success. A good month is an expensive month, and every new automation is a new line on the bill. Azaris is flat: one price, your own model key at your provider's rates, and no meter watching your volume.
The honest verdict
Keep Zapier for pipes that must be identical every time. Hand Azaris the work that used to need a person, and stop building diagrams for it.
