Visual automation builder for complex workflows

ABOUT MAKE

Make (formerly Integromat) is a powerful automation platform with visual scenario building. Create complex workflows with branching, loops, and error handling.

AUTOMATION PLATFORM DECISION FRAMEWORK

Automation tools should be judged by failure handling as much as happy-path connectors. A workflow that works once can still be fragile at real volume.

What to check before choosing Make

  • ✦Task or operation pricing
  • ✦Branching logic
  • ✦Error replay
  • ✦Self-hosting needs
  • ✦Team ownership of workflows

Strong fit signal

The platform makes failed runs easy to inspect, replay, and hand off to another teammate.

Watch out

Cheap starting plans can become expensive when polling, retries, and multi-step workflows count as separate operations.

For Make, start by testing one real workflow from your backlog instead of comparing screenshots. Build the smallest version that includes data entry, permissions, publishing or deployment, and the handoff to whoever maintains it next month.

Our Take on Make

Verdict: Make is the best-value visual automation platform for no-code builders who need multi-step, branching workflows: syncing Airtable with a CRM, processing webhooks, transforming data between apps. $9/month buys 10,000 credits, more than ten times Zapier's entry allowance. The trade-off is a more technical builder.

Pricing (monthly billing)

Core$910,000Unlimited1 min
Pro$1610,000Unlimited1 min

Annual billing saves 15% or more. Each module action uses one credit.

Watch polling triggers: a scenario that checks for new records every minute runs even when nothing has changed. Increase the interval, or use instant (webhook) triggers to avoid wasting credits.

Where Make shines

  • Visual scenario map with routers, filters, iterators and aggregators.
  • Data transformation without code, using built-in functions.
  • Cost per operation, far below Zapier's per-task rates.

Where it falls short

  • Learning curve for non-technical users.
  • Free plan limited to 2 active scenarios.
  • Credits per module still add up on long scenarios. n8n charges per whole execution instead.

Choose Make if

  • You build complex, multi-path automations on a budget
  • You're comfortable with data mapping and JSON-shaped data

Avoid Make if

  • You want the simplest builder for basic two-step flows. Zapier is easier
  • You want self-hosting or per-execution pricing. Use n8n
