    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.

    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.
