Make (Integromat)

Make (formerly Integromat) is the powerful alternative to Zapier for users who need complex, multi-step automations with granular control. Its visual workflow builder uses a node-and-connector interface that makes it easy to see exactly how data flows between apps.

The free tier gives 1,000 operations per month and 2 active scenarios. Core ($9/mo) gives 10,000 operations. Pro ($16/mo) gives 10,000 operations with advanced features. Teams ($29/mo) and Enterprise plans scale to millions of operations.

Make’s advantages over Zapier are significant for power users: far more granular data transformation options, built-in error handling with retry logic, iterator and aggregator modules for processing lists and arrays, and dramatically lower cost per operation at scale. It connects to 1,000+ apps and supports webhooks, custom HTTP requests, and API connections to any service.

Make’s AI features include AI Router (intelligently routes data to different paths based on content), AI Transformer (uses LLMs to process and restructure data), and integrations with OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini APIs directly within workflows.

Pros: Far more powerful than Zapier for complex automations, lower cost at scale, excellent error handling, visual interface, strong API support.
Cons: Steeper learning curve than Zapier, smaller app library (1,000 vs 7,000+), less beginner-friendly documentation.

Best for: Developers, operations engineers, agencies, and power users who need complex, high-volume automations that go beyond Zapier’s capabilities.
