Visual automation with a great interface

Make (formerly Integromat) is a cloud-based automation platform. You build 'scenarios' — visual flowcharts that connect apps and move data between them based on triggers. It sits somewhere between Zapier (simple) and n8n (power-user) in terms of complexity and capability. I often end up using Make and n8n together because each has connectors the other doesn't.

Pricing

Free tier · pay per operation

Best for

People who want a polished, no-infrastructure automation tool with a huge connector library.

Why I Recommend It

The interface is genuinely nicer than most automation tools. The scenario canvas makes complex branching easier to reason about.

Huge library of built-in connectors. There are things Make integrates with that I couldn't find in n8n — and the reverse is also true, which is why I use both.

No infrastructure to run. Good if you don't want to manage servers or Docker.

Operation-based pricing is reasonable for small and medium workloads, with a usable free tier.

Things to Know

You can't self-host it. If keeping data off a third-party cloud is a requirement, use n8n instead.

Pricing is per-operation, so very high-volume workflows can get expensive fast.

It's closed-source.

Good fit if…

  • You want automation without running any infrastructure.
  • You need a connector that happens to be in Make's library.
  • You prefer a more polished UX and don't mind a SaaS subscription.

Not a great fit if…

  • You want full data ownership or self-hosting.
  • Your workflows would run tens of thousands of operations per day — the pricing won't scale gracefully.
