Hello, I am planning on using Zapier for my website, to automate multiple processes which would otherwise be time consuming to do manually, and noticed I needed to upgrade to the pro membership to use Zapier. My question is, is there any way to automate the processes on my builder.io website without subscribing that space to pro, and if I do need to upgrade to pro for it, is it a constant subscription that I will need to keep for the automation to work, or do I just need it when I am setting up my website.
Could someone please clarify this?
You don’t need Builder Pro just to use Zapier. Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Automation without Zapier – Builder supports native automation (forms, actions, APIs, scheduling) so many workflows can run directly inside Builder.
-
Zapier Pro requirement – This is based on Zapier’s pricing. Multi-step Zaps or premium apps need Zapier Pro. Simple one-step Zaps often work on their free tier.
-
Subscriptions – Builder and Zapier are independent. If you use Zapier, your Zapier plan must remain active for automations to keep running.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Thanks for clarifying, Sheema! I see where my confusion came from — I thought I needed Builder Pro just to connect Zapier, but now I understand that the Pro plan only matters for MCP server integrations inside Builder.
Appreciate the help!
