\u201cWe have well over a million registered users on the platform now,\u201d Zapier CEO and co-founder Wade Foster told me before this launch. \u201cAs we\u2019ve grown \u2014 and we\u2019ve always focused on B2B \u2014 we saw that businesses using these tools want to collaborate. It was kind of a no-brainer to go in this direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
For businesses, this new plan also means that they can offer access to Zapier to their employees and pay a single bill. Foster also argues that this will improve security, especially given that a company can now easily add and remove user accounts as needed. In the past,\u00a0with Zapier\u2019s old pricing tiers, employees would often share passwords, which is obviously not an ideal solution.<\/p>\n
The marquee feature of this new tier, though, is that there is no limit on how many\u00a0teammates can use a single team account. These teams can set up as many integrations (or \u201czaps,\u201d in Zapier\u2019s\u00a0parlance) as they want. The plan comes with a maximum of 50,000 tasks per month. For Zapier, every time a piece of data is moved or an action is performed on your behalf, that counts as a \u201ctask.\u201d Any additional tasks will be billed according to Zapier\u2019s regular pricing schedule.<\/p>\n
Why not charge per seat? Foster tells me that the team \u201cwanted people to get as much usage out of it as they wanted\u201d and because of that, a task-based pricing model made more sense in this context.<\/p>\n
Team members will get access to the service\u2019s premium apps (which includes access to services like Shopify, QuickBooks Online or PayPal), multi-step Zaps for more complex integrations, and their tasks will run every 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Foster told me that the team is working on a way to also let users collaborate\u00a0on building integrations in real time. The team is also looking at adding support for the kind of SAML-based single sign-on solutions that many enterprises use. Currently, the only option for that on Zapier\u00a0is using a Google account.<\/p>\n
