Make.com
Pro automation.
What it is
Make (formerly Integromat) is the 'professional' and visual alternative to Zapier. It connects apps in a much deeper, more granular, and cost-effective way. Its visual scenario builder allows you to map out and watch the actual flow of data. With features like JSON handling, data filters, and iterators, it brings developer-level control to non-coders. It is the choice for those who want to push limits and run more automations for less money.
Key features
Visual Scenario Builder
Drag and drop automation steps and link them together on a visual map.
Iterators & Aggregators
Process lists of data individually or combine parts into a single file.
HTTP Request Support
Connect directly to any app with an API, even if it's not natively on Make.
Error Handling
Determine exactly what the flow should do (stop, skip, warn) when an error occurs.
Strengths and trade-offs
What works well
- Visual Builder: Mapping out scenarios as a web-like flow is intuitive and powerful.
- Cost Effective: Offers significantly more operations for a much lower price than Zapier.
- Extreme Flexibility: Manipulate data down to its smallest component without code.
- Real-Time Monitoring: See exactly where data is in your flow as it runs live.
Where it falls short

- App Support: Does not (yet) support quite as many apps as Zapier does.
- Debugging: Solving errors when they occur can require more technical knowledge.
