Automation
Make
Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation platform built for scenarios with branching, iterators, and data transformation. It is usually more cost-effective than Zapier at higher operation volumes. Best when workflows need logic, not just linear triggers.
Best for: Ops and technical teams that need branching, aggregators, and data shaping without full custom code.
Pros
- Visual scenario builder with deep modules
- Strong value at higher operation counts
- Excellent for data transformation
- HTTP and webhook flexibility
- Clear execution history for debugging
Cons
- Steeper learning curve than Zapier
- Fewer consumer-grade templates
- Operations can spike with retries and loops
Pricing
Starting at: From ~$9/mo
Note: Loops, iterators, and error retries increase operation counts—design for efficiency.
