LANDA vs Zapier: Where DIY Automation Stops Working
Zapier is how most people start, and it is usually the right way to start.
What Zapier is.
Zapier connects apps without code. For a linear task -- this happens, then do that -- it is fast, cheap and completely adequate, and thousands of small businesses run real work on it.
What LANDA is.
LANDA takes over where the simple version stops: when the process has conditions, when something has to be checked before it proceeds, when a failure has to be visible rather than silent, or when nobody has time to maintain it.
Choose Zapier when
- The task is genuinely linear and you can describe it in one sentence.
- You want it working this afternoon.
- Somebody in the business is willing to own it.
Choose LANDA when
- The automation exists, and nobody is quite sure whether it still runs.
- It broke silently once and the business found out from a customer.
- What the process actually needs is a decision in the middle of it.
Start here. If a connector does what you need for twenty a month, this whole page is a waste of your time and you should close it. The honest reason people outgrow it is rarely capability: it is that nobody owns it, and an automation with no owner eventually fails quietly.
Usually it is both.
Plenty of businesses keep their simple connections and get help only with the parts that need judgement, error handling, or something to watch them.
