Best Make Alternatives in 2026

Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual workflow automation platform with operations-based pricing starting at $9/month billed annually as of April 2026. Teams evaluating alternatives typically seek either a larger app ecosystem, self-hosting capability, or tighter integration with an existing software stack.

Zapier — Largest App Ecosystem

Zapier connects to over 9,000 apps as of June 2026, making it the broadest integration platform available. Its linear Zap builder is simpler than Make's branching scenarios, which suits teams that need straightforward trigger-action workflows.

• 9,000+ app integrations with pre-built triggers and actions
• Paths for conditional branching (available on Professional plan and above)
• Tables feature for built-in database storage
• Free plan: 100 tasks/month
• Entry Professional plan: about $19.99/month billed annually

n8n — Self-Hosted and Open-Source

n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool that organizations can self-host on their own infrastructure. It provides a visual editor similar to Make with support for conditional logic, looping, and custom JavaScript/Python code nodes.

• Self-hosted (Docker, Kubernetes) or n8n Cloud
• 400+ built-in integrations plus custom HTTP and code nodes
• Fair-code license allows free self-hosting for most use cases
• n8n Cloud starts at $20/month for 2,500 executions

• Desktop flows (RPA) available with Power Automate Premium at $15/user/month

Pipedream targets developers who want to write code alongside visual workflows. Each step can include custom Node.js, Python, Go, or Bash code with full access to npm and PyPI packages.

• Code-first steps with Node.js, Python, Go, or Bash
• Free tier: 100 credits/day (approximately 100 workflow runs)
