Oxta as an alternative to Zapier
Zapier meters every action, so a longer scenario costs more with each step you add. Oxta counts the whole run: three steps or ten, the price is the same.
What the same scenario costs
Take a typical three-step scenario: an event, a check, a message. Here is a thousand runs a month on the cheapest paid plan of each service.
| Service | What it meters | 1,000 runs |
|---|---|---|
| Zapier | each action after the trigger | $53.31 |
| Make | each step | $2.70 |
| n8n | the whole run | $9.18 |
| Oxta Starter | the whole run | $1.20 |
| Oxta Pro | the whole run | $0.39 |
Paying from Ukraine
Zapier charges only in US dollars and issues no Ukrainian paperwork. For a Ukrainian sole trader that means a currency card, exchange-rate swings and closing documents that do not fit local accounting.
Oxta accepts Ukrainian cards. Prices are shown in dollars and charged in hryvnia at the rate on the payment day, with Ukrainian documents.
Where Zapier is stronger
Honestly: Zapier has far more ready-made integrations — thousands of services against our list. If you need a rare Western service with a one-click connector, Zapier gets you there faster.
Connecting is smoother there too: sign in with the service instead of pasting a key. And it has team access, which Oxta does not have yet.
Where Oxta is stronger
- Priced per run, not per step — a complex scenario does not cost more.
- Every run is kept in full: what arrived, what was decided, who was written to.
- Dry run: the scenario executes on real data while sending nothing.
- A warning when a service changes its response format and the scenario is about to go wrong.
- Ukrainian CRMs, Nova Poshta, Telegram and support in Ukrainian.
Which one suits you
Zapier — if your stack is Western, you need dozens of ready connectors and team access, and per-step pricing does not bother you.
Oxta — if you work with Ukrainian services, want a predictable price per run, and need to see exactly what the automation did.
The essentials, briefly
Can I import my existing Zaps?
There is no automatic import from Zapier. Common scenarios are usually faster to rebuild from the ready-made ones in the marketplace.
What counts as one run?
One whole execution of a scenario. One abandoned cart is one run, however many steps it has.
Is there a free tier?
Yes: 1,000 runs a month, for good, without a card.
Where do the prices come from?
Public pricing as of September 2026, the cheapest paid plan of each service. The n8n price is converted from euro at 1.148.
