Why teams leave
Why teams leave Zapier
Per-task pricing surprises at scale.
Multi-step Zaps that should be one function.
No real version control for production workflows.
Every retry bills you twice.
Migration
What you keep
Your automation logic. Claude Code can read your Zap and write the code.
Your connections. Every API in your Zap is a one-liner in Rotor.
Your team. Workspace vault for shared secrets.
Upgrade
What changes
Code instead of clicks.
Git instead of Zap revision history.
Retries that don’t cost extra.
The math
How the math works
Zapier Pro: 2,000 tasks for $50. That’s 2.5 cents per task.
Rotor Starter: 20,000 step-runs for $29. That’s 0.15 cents per step.
Sixteen times the volume. Half the price.
