Zapier

Nice Pick

The default choice. Easy but expensive and limited.

Pros

Cons

• Limited logic
• Slow

Tray.io

The low-code automation platform that actually scales with your engineering team, not just your marketing department.

Pros

• Powerful workflow builder with conditional logic and error handling for complex automations
• Native integrations with hundreds of SaaS tools (like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack) out of the box
• API-driven approach allows developers to extend and customize automations with code when needed
• Scalable infrastructure that handles high-volume workflows without falling over

Cons

• Pricing can get steep quickly as you add more workflows and connectors
• Learning curve for non-technical users despite the low-code claims
• Some advanced features require dipping into the API, which defeats the low-code purpose
