I've been using Zapier for a while, and it was fine — until the bill hit $80/month
for just 5 simple automations.
Tried n8n as an alternative. Too complex for my non-technical teammates.
So I did what any frustrated developer does — I built my own.
What I built
DoZaps is a no-code workflow automation platform. Think Zapier, but simpler and
actually affordable.
Here's what's in it right now:
- Visual drag-and-drop workflow builder
- 50+ integrations — Gmail, Slack, Notion, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, Stripe, Supabase, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Google Sheets, Reddit, and more
- Multi-LLM AI nodes (you can chain GPT, Claude, Gemini inside workflows)
- Real-time execution engine
Why I built it this way
Most automation tools make you choose between power and simplicity.
n8n is powerful but has a steep learning curve. Zapier is simple but
expensive and limited on the free tier.
DoZaps tries to sit in the middle — powerful enough for real workflows,
simple enough that a non-developer can build one in 10 minutes.
What's coming next
- Pre-built workflow templates
- Agentic workflows (AI that takes actions autonomously)
- More integrations
Honest ask
If you've ever been frustrated with automation tools — pricing, complexity,
limitations — I'd love to hear what would actually make you switch.

Happy to answer anything about how I built it, the stack, or what's next.
