Our verdict: n8n
The choice for technical teams: powerful, economical at scale, and data ownership when self-hosted. Reserve it for those with some technical chops, or get coaching.
Our verdict: Zapier
The simplest to learn for automating without technical skills. Make is more powerful and often cheaper at high volume, but Zapier stays the most accessible to start.
