Make

Key facts: Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation platform: you draw a workflow on a canvas — triggers, filters, routers and actions across hundreds of apps — and watch data flow through it step by step. That visual debugging is its signature advantage over list-based automation tools, especially for complex, branching workflows.

Plans: Make has a free plan with a monthly operations allowance, and paid plans that raise the allowance and add faster execution and team features. The free tier covers small personal workflows well.

Best for: operations-minded builders who want to see and control every step of an automation. Watch out: the learning curve is steeper than Zapier’s, and operations count per step, not per workflow — a busy scenario adds up fast.

Pros

• A visual automation builder: draw a workflow on a canvas with triggers, filters, routers and actions across hundreds of apps.
• Visual debugging lets you watch data flow through each step, its signature advantage over list-based automation tools.
• Especially strong for complex, branching workflows that are hard to follow as a list.
• The free tier covers small personal workflows well.

Watch out for

• The learning curve is steeper than Zapier's, so simple two-app automations may take longer to set up at first.
• Operations count per step, not per workflow, so a busy scenario adds up fast.
• The free monthly operations allowance will not cover heavy or business-critical flows.

Best for

Operations-minded builders who want to see and control every step of an automation. Who should skip it: users who only need the simplest two-app automations and prefer the shortest setup.
