AWFlow vs Zapier: your browser, not just your apps.
- A browser extension — install and go
- Acts on the pages you are already logged into
- Free on-device AI, no per-task fees
- Fully hosted — nothing to install
- Runs 24/7 in the cloud
- Thousands of app integrations
Zapier is excellent at connecting cloud apps on its own servers. Pick Zapier for app-to-app automation that runs around the clock; pick AWFlow when the work happens on web pages in your browser — or use both.

Des univers différents. Des points forts différents.
Nous n'avons marqué un avantage que lorsqu'un outil est nettement meilleur pour cette tâche. Chacun en cumule plusieurs, et c'est très bien.
| 01 · En un coup d'œil |  AWFlow | Zapier |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | In your browser, as an extension. Runs while the browser is open. | In Zapier's cloud. Nothing runs on your computer.5 |
| Setup | Avantage · AWFlowInstall the extension. No account, no server, no email. | Create a Zapier account, then connect each app. |
| Pricing model | Avantage · AWFlowLocal mode is free with no usage limits from us. Cloud AI keys you add are billed by that provider. | A free plan (100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps); paid plans are sold in task tiers.1 |
| Acts on web pages you are logged into | Avantage · AWFlowYes — reads, clicks and fills in your own tab, with per-site access you approve. | Connects apps through their APIs from its cloud rather than acting in your browser tab.6 |
| Free on-device AI | Avantage · AWFlowBuilt in: Chrome built-in AI, WebLLM, Transformers.js and TensorFlow.js run on your device. | AI agents and AI features run as part of Zapier's cloud service.5 |
| 24/7 cloud execution | No. Workflows need the browser open. Long waits (up to 30 days) survive closing the tab. | Avantage · ZapierYes. Zaps run in the cloud around the clock.6 |
| Integrations breadth | 22 app integrations, plus Custom API (OpenAPI), HTTP requests and any website you can open. | Avantage · ZapierOne of the largest catalogues: Zapier lists more than 8,000 apps.3 |
| Team features | Personal and local-first today; sign in to sync and publish. | Avantage · ZapierTeam plans add a shared workspace, folder permissions, an audit log and SAML single sign-on.2 |
| Community templates | Community templates in the Marketplace, each showing what it touches. | Avantage · ZapierA large library of ready-to-use Zap templates.4 |
| Learning curve | No-code canvas; Aria can draft a workflow from a sentence. | Very approachable step-by-step editor. |

Choisissez selon l'endroit où le travail se fait.
Your apps talk to each other in the cloud.
- Your automations must run 24/7 with every laptop closed
- You mostly connect cloud apps to each other through their APIs
- You need an app only Zapier connects to
- Your team needs shared workspaces and admin controls
- You want a fully hosted service with nothing installed
The work happens in your browser.
- The work happens on web pages — including ones behind your login
- You want to start in a minute, with no account
- You want AI that runs on your own device, free and private
- You would rather not pay per task
- You want right-click, hotkey and side-panel automations
Use both. Each where it shines.
Let AWFlow do the browser-side part — reading a page you're logged into, clicking, summarising on-device — then send the result to a Zapier webhook trigger with AWFlow's HTTP Request node. Zapier carries on in the cloud.
Zapier's webhook trigger is on its paid plans. AWFlow can call any URL, so it can also fetch from endpoints your Zaps expose.
AWFlowReads the page in your logged-in tab- HTTP RequestPOSTs the result as JSON
- Zapier webhookRoutes it to your apps around the clock
Move the browser parts in an afternoon.
There's no importer for Zaps. Browser-side automations tend to be short, so rebuilding is quick.
Sort your Zaps
List what they do. Mark the ones that start from copying something off a web page, or only matter while you work.
Rebuild from a template
Start from a Marketplace template (installing one needs a free sign-in), or describe it to Aria in Build mode and review the draft.
Connect the rest
Keep app-to-app Zaps on Zapier. Link the two with an HTTP Request node in AWFlow and a webhook trigger in Zapier.
Des questions légitimes.
La documentation couvre chaque nœud d'AWFlow en détail.
Ouvrir la documentation ↗Is AWFlow a replacement for Zapier?
For work that happens on web pages, often yes. For hosted app-to-app automation that must run around the clock, Zapier is the better fit — and they work well together.
Can I import my Zaps?
No. The models differ, so there is no importer. Browser-side automations are usually short, and Aria can draft one from a plain description.
Does AWFlow run when my computer is off?
No. AWFlow runs inside your browser, so the browser needs to be open. Long waits survive closing the tab, but not a powered-off machine.
Which is cheaper?
AWFlow local mode is free, and on-device AI costs nothing. Zapier has a free plan, and its paid plans are sold in task tiers. Cloud AI keys cost the same in either tool.
