Claritty vs Zapier
Both automate work across your tools. The difference is who assembles the automation, and what happens when a step needs a judgment call.
How Zapier works
Zapier connects apps without code using a trigger-action model: an event in one app starts a sequence of steps in others. You pick the trigger, add the actions, and map the fields between them. It suits a rule you can state exactly, of the shape "when a form response arrives, add a row and post to Slack".
With Zapier you assemble the steps. With Claritty you describe the outcome and it composes the automation, then runs an agent on the steps that need a decision rather than a rule.
Where they differ
How it gets built
You describe the task in plain language. Claritty picks the tools, writes the steps and shows you the automation it built.
You choose a trigger, add actions, and map fields between them yourself, one step at a time.
Steps that need judgment
An agent reads the actual content and decides. "Is this email an invoice, and does the amount match the contract?" is a step, not a filter.
Filters and paths handle conditions you can express as rules. AI steps are available, and you place and prompt them yourself.
Before it does something real
A dry run shows you what it would have sent. Nothing writes, sends or pays until you approve it.
You add your own guard, a filter step, a manual approval step, or a test run before you switch it on.
Tools with no API
Record the task once in your browser and it repeats it on the site. It keeps what you clicked and never what you typed.
Needs an API, an existing connector, or a webhook. A supplier portal without one is a dead end.
When something changes
You say what should be different and it rewrites the steps.
You open the Zap and edit the affected steps and field mappings yourself.
Why Claritty instead
Each of these is something the product does today, not a direction of travel.
You describe the outcome, not the steps
There is no graph to assemble and no field mapping to maintain. You say what the job is, Claritty picks the tools and writes the automation, and you read what it built rather than drawing it.
The judgment call is part of the automation
Deciding whether an email needs a reply, or whether an invoice amount matches the contract, is a step an agent performs. You do not have to reduce it to a rule first, which is the point at which most Zaps end in "and then someone checks it".
Nothing irreversible happens without you
A dry run shows you what it would have sent before it sends it, and a real action waits for your approval. The failure mode of a bad run is a draft you delete rather than an email your customer reads.
It reaches tools that have no API
Record the task once in your browser and Claritty repeats it on the site. The supplier portal and the internal system nobody will build an integration for stop being dead ends. It keeps what you clicked and never what you typed.
Every run is readable afterwards
Each step records what it received and what it returned, so when the output is wrong you can see which step decided what, rather than inferring it from the result.
Questions people ask
Is Claritty a Zapier alternative?
Yes, for the work that needs a decision rather than a rule. If you keep building Zaps that end in "and then someone checks it", that check is the part Claritty takes over, and the approval step means you still see it before anything happens.
Can I use both?
Yes. A common split is Zapier for straightforward app-to-app plumbing and Claritty for the jobs that need reading, judgment and an approval, like triaging an inbox or checking an invoice against a contract.
Does Zapier not have AI already?
It does, and we are not claiming otherwise. The difference is where the AI sits. In Zapier you add an AI step into a graph you built and prompt it yourself. In Claritty the agent is what builds and runs the job, and the graph is an output rather than something you assemble.
What does Claritty cost compared to Zapier?
Claritty is free to build up to three automations and actually run them, five times, taking real actions on a schedule with no card. Paid plans start at $25/mo and lift the run ceiling. Compare against current Zapier pricing directly, since both change and a number in a comparison page goes stale.
