Weebly vs Zapier: What are the differences?
What is Weebly? The easiest way to create a website. Weebly is an AJAX website creator that allows you to create pages with template skins and content widgets. Users can easily drag-and-drop content widgets like pictures, text, video and Google Maps in WYSIWYG-fashion.
What is Zapier? Automate tasks between other online services (services like Salesforce, Basecamp, Gmail, and 400+ more). Zapier is for busy people who know their time is better spent selling, marketing, or coding. Instead of wasting valuable time coming up with complicated systems - you can use Zapier to automate the web services you and your team are already using on a daily basis.
Weebly belongs to "Website Builder" category of the tech stack, while Zapier can be primarily classified under "Web Service Automation".
Some of the features offered by Weebly are:
- Drag & Drop Website Builder
- 100+ Professional Themes
- Powerful Hosting
On the other hand, Zapier provides the following key features:
- A Zap is a blueprint for a task you want to do over and over. In words, a Zap looks like this: "When I get a new thing in A, do this other thing in B." The first part is the trigger and the second part is the action. An example is "When I get a new entry from a Wufoo form, create a new lead in Salesforce."
- You can pick what fields from the trigger service should go to the action service and you can use static text and custom fields too. For instance, you might say that the phone number from your Wufoo form should be the work phone of your new Salesforce lead.
- Zapier regularly checks your trigger for new data. When the Zap triggers, Zapier automatically performs your action for you. Continuing with the Wufoo scenario, say you receive five new entries. Zapier takes each one and makes a new lead in Salesforce, customized to the way you specified in your Zap.
Typeform, thoughtbot, and Accenture are some of the popular companies that use Zapier, whereas Weebly is used by PayPal Invoicing, Saint Harridan, and Conflux Technologies. Zapier has a broader approval, being mentioned in 241 company stacks & 66 developers stacks; compared to Weebly, which is listed in 61 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.
