Our take— Zapier AI wins
Based on our comparison of published pricing, features, and compliance data, Zapier AI scores 8.2/10 to Windsurf's 7.6/10. Zapier AI pulls ahead with SOC 2 certification and ISO 27001 certification. Windsurf stays close but doesn't lead on any single attribute here. Pick Zapier AI if SOC 2 certification matters; Windsurf is the pick if it doesn't.
