Zapier vs Make

Zapier and Make are leading no-code automation platforms; Zapier wins on integration breadth and simplicity while Make offers a more powerful visual builder at a lower price.

The verdict

Choose Zapier for the largest app library and the gentlest learning curve. With 8,000+ integrations and a straightforward trigger-action model, it is the safest pick for non-technical users automating common tasks, and its AI Agents and chatbots are maturing. The catch is task-based pricing that can climb quickly at high volume.

Choose Make for power and value. Its visual scenario canvas handles complex branching, iteration, and heavy data mapping that Zapier makes harder, and its credit-based plans start much lower at around $9/mo. Make has fewer native integrations (3,000+) but covers gaps with a generic HTTP module, and it has leaned into agentic automation with an MCP server. Expect a steeper learning curve in exchange for more control.

Pricing compared

Make is the cheaper and more granular option, freemium with a no-time-limit free plan and paid tiers from around $9/mo, metered by credits per module action. Zapier is also freemium with a limited free plan, but paid tiers are priced by monthly task volume and tend to run higher, especially at scale (its entry pricing is not as low as Make's). Both pricing models reward planning: Zapier per task, Make per credit.

Features compared

Zapier offers 8,000+ app integrations, multi-step Zaps with filters and paths, Zapier Agents, AI steps and chatbots, webhooks/code steps, and scheduling. Make offers a drag-and-drop visual scenario builder, 3,000+ integrations plus a generic HTTP module, AI/agentic automation, an MCP server, scheduling/webhooks, and real-time execution monitoring. Zapier's edge is integration count and ease of use, where Make trades that simplicity for visual control, branching logic, and serious data manipulation.
