In brief
Zapier versus Make (formerly Integromat) is the duel between the two most widely used no-code automation platforms of 2026. Zapier is the pioneer: 7,000+ app integrations, an ultra-simple UX based on the “trigger → action” concept, and the largest library of ready-made templates on the market. Make plays the technical power card with a scenario-based visual editor that lets you build complex workflows (conditional branches, loops, aggregations, fine-grained data transformation), often for 30 to 50% less at the same volume. For a freelancer or an SMB automating a few simple tasks, Zapier remains more accessible. For an operations manager, a growth hacker or a no-code developer building complex automations, Make offers an unbeatable power-to-price ratio.

Our verdict
Draw — the two tools are evenly matched
Zapier isthe best choice for automation beginners and simple workflows: its catalogue of 7,000+ apps covers everything, its one-click templates let you get started in 5 minutes, and its customer support is excellent. Make isthe best choice for complex workflows and technical users: its scenario-based visual editor supports conditional branches, iterations, data aggregations and advanced transformations that are impossible or very limited in Zapier. At equivalent volume (10,000 operations/month), Make typically costs €16-29/month against €49-69/month for Zapier — a significant saving at scale. For a solo user or an SMB automating a few notifications and syncs, Zapier remains the simplest option. For an ops/growth team building 50+ scenarios, Make is more powerful and more economical. n8n is a third, open-source route worth considering for technical profiles.
Frequently asked questions
Is Make really cheaper than Zapier?
Yes — at equivalent volume it is significantly cheaper. Make Core costs €9/month for 10,000 operations, Make Pro €16/month for 10,000 operations with advanced features. Zapier Professional is $49/month for 2,000 tasks, and quickly climbs to $69/month for 10,000 tasks. At high volumes, Make cuts the cost by a factor of 3 or more.
How many integrations do Zapier and Make have?
Zapier: 7,000+ integrated apps (a market record). Make: around 2,000 apps. For mainstream apps (Google, Slack, Notion, Airtable, Stripe, HubSpot, Mailchimp), both cover them. For more niche or recent tools, Zapier often ships the integration first. If your stack contains uncommon tools, check availability.
Which one is easier to learn?
Zapier, without hesitation. Its “trigger → action” logic is immediately understandable, and Zaps are linear. Make requires you to think in “scenarios” with connected modules, which takes 2-3 hours to get to grips with. Once mastered, Make is more powerful — but the learning curve is real.
Do Make and Zapier support AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)?
Yes, both have native integrations with OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Mistral, Google Gemini and Hugging Face. You can build AI workflows (summarise an incoming email with ChatGPT, classify leads with Claude, generate Notion content). Make additionally offers an “AI Agents” module that simplifies building RAG pipelines.
Do both have a free plan?
Yes. Zapier offers 100 free tasks/month with a limit of 5 Zaps. Make offers 1,000 free operations/month with unlimited scenarios — far more generous for testing or for low-volume automations. If you are starting out with no budget, Make is more usable on the free tier.
