Zapier experts for hire, with the price closed before we start

Looking for a Zapier expert for hire? We build with Zapier for companies of 10 to 100 people, and we will also tell you the day it stops being the cheapest way to run your operation.

Platforms we use here
01 Platform

What we build with Zapier

Zapier is the right call when the job is to connect apps that already do their part well. Its catalogue is the widest of any automation platform, so the connector you need usually exists already.

  • Client onboarding. Contract, payment and access fire in the right order, with reminders when the client stalls. Three days from yes to fully onboarded.
  • Task routing. Requests arriving by email or by form become tasks with an owner and a due date. Nothing sits waiting in an inbox.
  • Review generation. Happy customers get asked at the right moment on the right channel, which triples new Google reviews a month.

Those are examples of what we build or would build. No two companies get the same system, because no two operate the same way.

02 Platform

Zapier, Make or n8n, and which one suits you

Zapier is the easiest of the three to hand over. When the person who will own this is your office manager rather than an engineer, that matters more than any feature table.

The trade is price at volume and depth of logic. Zapier charges per task, so a system running thousands of times a month gets expensive faster than the alternatives.

We tell you which one we would use before you pay for anything. Getting that wrong costs a rebuild, and rebuilds are the expensive part.

03 Platform

Moving off Zapier, and when not to

Not every large Zapier bill is a migration. Very often the fix is fewer steps, because half the tasks in a mature account come from Zaps that fire first and filter afterwards.

We audit the account and cut that waste before anyone mentions moving. Sometimes the bill drops enough that the conversation ends there, and you spend the money on the process instead.

When the move is genuinely right, we rebuild one Zap at a time and keep both running until the numbers agree.

04 Platform

When Zapier is not the right tool

  • High volume. Pricing per task punishes success. A system handling thousands of records a month usually belongs somewhere else.
  • Deep logic. Loops, retries and error handling get awkward fast. You end up with eleven Zaps holding hands and nobody able to debug them.
  • Data that has to stay in Europe. Zapier processes data in the United States. Where that is a problem, we run that step on a platform you host.

Plenty of companies should stay exactly where they are and spend their budget on the process instead. That piece of advice is free.

05 Platform

What it costs and how long it takes

We scope the work and then give you one fixed price, so nothing moves after you sign. A Zapier build is often the quickest thing we do, and a simple one goes live inside a week.

The AI and operations audit is the first step. You get a ranked plan in two working days, and the price is on its page. Larger systems take four to five weeks.

Your Zapier subscription stays in your name. We size the plan during scoping and design the Zaps to burn fewer tasks.

06 Platform

Who maintains it after launch

Everything is yours on handover day, documented and with your team trained on it. Zapier is the platform most clients end up running without us, which is a good outcome.

If you want it watched anyway, Protect covers monitoring and fixes for $350 a month, cancellable any month. It is an option, never a condition.

07 Platform

Your data, and where it lives

Zapier is a United States company and processes your data there. It publishes a data processing agreement and standard contractual clauses. That covers most European companies, though not every case.

When your data cannot leave Europe, we keep that step out of Zapier and run it on infrastructure you control. Saying this out loud before the build is cheaper than discovering it during an audit of yours.

08 Questions

What people ask before they start.

What will Zapier cost us on top of the build?

The subscription stays in your name and we size it during scoping, based on the tasks your Zaps will really use. You get that estimate in the proposal rather than in your second invoice.

Can you take over Zaps somebody else built?

Yes. We review the account first and tell you what we would keep. Protect covers systems we did not build once they pass that review.

Is Zapier enough for AI work?

For a single step it is fine: classify an email, draft a reply, summarise a call. An agent that decides what to do next and recovers from its own mistakes needs a platform with more control.

When should we move to Make or n8n?

When the bill grows with volume rather than with value, when a process needs real loops, or when the data has to stay in Europe. One of those three is usually the trigger.

Do we need a developer to keep this running?

No, and that is the main reason to pick Zapier. An operations person with an hour a week can keep it healthy, using the runbook we leave behind.

Something else? Email team@braveautomations.com and a person answers, usually the same day.

Make.com experts for companies of 10 to 100 people

A Make.com expert earns the fee in week one, because the scenario that fails quietly is always the one nobody drew properly. We build automation with Make for companies of 10 to 100 people, inside the tools they already pay for.

n8n consultants for companies of 10 to 100 people

We work as an n8n consultant and implementation partner for companies of 10 to 100 people. n8n is what we reach for when a system has to hold volume and make decisions, rather than move a record from one app to another.

Ninety minutes with a consultant, then a ranked plan in two working days. Whatever it costs comes off your first project.
