Free forever plan · no credit card
Zapier alternative
In TinyCommand, workflows share a data layer with forms, tables, agents, and email. Each step uses 1 credit, and the forms, tables, email and agents it touches are on the same $49/mo bill.
No credit card · 1,000 free credits a month · 458 integrations + native forms, DB, agents, email
“While all this could have been done with custom coding and wasting a lot of time, it is a one stop platform that handles the full flow from data capture to execution without the lag you get on other platforms like Zapier. If you're running an agency or even a freelancer, it's a no brainer.”
Why teams switch
Forms, tables, agents, email are the same product. No ‘connect Typeform’ wizard, no ‘pick which Airtable base’ dropdown, no field-mapping drift when you rename a column. The workflow just sees the data.
Zapier counts every action against your task budget, and the form tool, database and email sender are separate subscriptions. In TinyCommand each workflow step uses 1 credit, and the forms, tables, email and agents it touches are on the same plan.
Drop a TinyAgents into any workflow. It reads your data, makes decisions, drafts content, calls tools. No OpenAI API key juggling, no per-token surprise bills.

Where it fits
TinyWorkflows is the glue, but in TinyCommand, the things being glued are already next to each other. Forms, tables, agents, email. All native, no per-connection mapping.
Real flows
New form submission → enrich → score → route to the right rep on Slack → log to CRM. The form, enrichment and scoring agent run in one product, on one bill.
Stripe webhook fires → look up customer in TinyTables → send a personalized recovery email the moment the payment fails → flag the account in Slack for a human follow-up.
Every morning, pull all new rows from yesterday across 3 tables, summarize with an agent, send a digest to #ops.
Customer emails → agent classifies urgency + product area → routes to Slack thread + creates Linear ticket if it’s a bug.

The biggest difference: workflows in TinyCommand already have access to your forms, database, AI agents, and email. Same product. You don’t set up a Typeform connection, then an Airtable connection, then a Mailchimp connection. Second: one credit pool covers the forms, tables, email and agents your workflows touch, so they are not separate subscriptions.
There is no automatic Zapier importer. Our team rebuilds your Zaps for you as workflows: steps that touch forms, tables or email use TinyCommand's own steps, and third-party steps use our 458 integrations. Live within a week.
Honest answer: no. Zapier has 8,000+ third-party integrations; we have 458. If you need a long-tail connection (say, an obscure CRM or accounting tool), check our integrations directory for the apps you rely on before switching.
Zapier counts actions against a monthly task budget. TinyCommand uses credits: every workflow step uses 1 credit, and a few data-heavy steps (SEO, scraping, AI agents, enrichment) use more, with the price shown before you run. The difference is what the bill covers: the forms, tables, email and agents your workflows touch are on the same plan, and collecting form responses never uses a credit.
No. TinyCommand is hosted only, so setups that require self-hosting (compliance, air-gapped, etc.) aren't a fit. For everyone else, hosted with a real bundle beats hosted with a self-host escape hatch.
Workflows branch with If Else steps, and AI steps and your forms, tables and email sit in the same builder. If your Zaps lean on many paths or custom error handling, check those in the workflow builder before switching, or have our team rebuild them for you.
Professional includes 50,000 credits a month, enough for about 50,000 one-credit workflow steps. Basic includes 10,000 and Agency 250,000. Pick the plan whose monthly credits fit your volume, and move up anytime.
Most teams start by rebuilding their two or three most-run Zaps to see how the math compares. If those work, the rest follow over a month, and our team can rebuild them for you so you don’t lose any workflows.
Same workflow logic Zapier handles, plus the data layer it can’t. $49/mo for the whole stack, or free forever for solo.
