    Our take

    Understanding Make.

    Make is limitless visual automation. Starting at €7.79/month. Built for B2B consultants and solo developers.

    Powerful visual editor with conditions, loops, and error handling. 1,000 free operations per month (vs 100 with Zapier), advanced data transformations (JSON, XML, formulas). 1,000+ app integrations. In practice: lead management: automate adding leads from forms to your CRM. Also: content distribution: automatically publish your articles on LinkedIn, Twitter, Medium. Estimated time saving: 8h/month.

    Keep it if: you want to connect your tools together or zapier has become too expensive. Skip it if: you are afraid of logic diagrams or you only have very simple needs (Zapier is enough). Main limit: steeper learning curve than Zapier. As soon as you perform the same manual copy-paste task more than 5 times a week.

    Pros and cons

    What Make does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

    Pros

    • Powerful visual editor with conditions, loops, and error handling
    • 1,000 free operations per month (vs 100 with Zapier)
    • Advanced data transformations (JSON, XML, formulas)
    • 1,000+ app integrations
    • More competitive pricing than Zapier for high volumes

    Cons

    Make: when it makes sense.

    As soon as you perform the same manual copy-paste task more than 5 times a week.

    Keep if

    You want to connect your tools together. Zapier has become too expensive

    Make becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (€8) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You are afraid of logic diagrams. You only have very simple needs (Zapier is enough)

    Make becomes too expensive when
    • You use it less than once a month
    • make (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use

    The AI angle

    Make vs AI

    AI augments this tool
    Go further with AI

    Make added an AI assistant to generate automation scenarios from a prompt, which helps get started on its visual interface, more complex than Zapier's.

    Can AI replace it?

    Replace Make with an AI? No, same logic as Zapier: complex visual automation (branches, iterators, aggregators) stays configuration work that AI eases without replacing. Verdict: AI flattens the learning curve, the automation engine remains the product.
