Zapier vs Make

The short answer. Both connect your apps so routine work happens by itself. Zapier is easier to learn and connects to the most apps. Make is cheaper for the same amount of work and more flexible, but takes longer to learn.

Which one should you pick?

Choose Zapier if

  • You are new to automation and want it working in minutes
  • You need a less common app that others may not support
  • You only automate a handful of simple tasks

Choose Make if

  • You run many automations and want to keep the cost down
  • Your flows have several branches and conditions
  • You are comfortable spending time to learn a visual builder
