Make

Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual workflow automation platform that connects apps and automates processes. It offers more advanced capabilities than Zapier including complex conditional logic, data transformation, and visual scenario building.

The platform's drag-and-drop scenario builder shows workflows visually, making complex automation easier to understand and debug. Make supports advanced features like loops, error handling, and data aggregation.

Make includes 1,000+ app integrations including LinkedIn, CRMs, databases, and marketing tools. The HTTP module allows connecting to any API, extending possibilities beyond native integrations.

For users outgrowing simpler tools like Zapier, Make provides more power and flexibility while remaining no-code friendly. Pricing is generally more affordable than Zapier for equivalent usage.

Make is my choice when Zapier becomes too limiting. The visual builder makes complex workflows understandable, and pricing is significantly better.

The scenario builder is powerful. I can create branching logic, loops, and data transformations that would be impossible in simpler tools. The visual representation helps me understand what's happening.

Pricing is much better than Zapier. I get 10,000 operations for $9/month - equivalent Zapier plans cost 5x more. For heavy automation users, this adds up to significant savings.

The learning curve is steeper than Zapier. Beginners might find the interface overwhelming. But once you understand the basics, it's more capable.

Reliability is good but not quite as polished as Zapier. I've had more scenarios pause due to errors, though the error handling tools help identify and fix issues.

Verdict: Best for users who need more power than Zapier and want better pricing.
