Uchiflow vs Zapier

Zapier pioneered no-code automation. But their AI features are bolted on, not built in. Uchiflow is AI-native from the ground up.

Key differences

What sets Uchiflow apart from Zapier

AI at the core, not the edge

Uchiflow is built around AI analysis. Every workflow step understands context. Zapier treats AI as just another integration.

Multi-model flexibility

Switch between Claude, GPT, and Gemini with a dropdown. Zapier locks you into specific AI apps with limited model choice.

Version control for prompts

Full history on every prompt change. Rollback in one click. Zapier offers no prompt versioning.

Transparent AI costs

See exactly what each AI call costs. No surprise bills. Zapier bundles AI costs into opaque task pricing.
