Source-available, code-friendly workflow automation you can self-host for free.
Visual, canvas-based automation with powerful branching and the best price-to-power ratio.
Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation platform built around a drag-and-drop canvas where you wire modules into 'scenarios.' It excels at complex flows that need branching, iterators, error handling, and tight data control, with 3,000+ integrations. In 2026 Make uses a credit-based model (it migrated from 'operations' to 'credits' in late 2025) and added AI modules and an AI agent layer. It's a favorite for ops teams who have outgrown Zapier's simplicity but don't want to write code.
Make uses a freemium pricing model, with paid plans from Free (1,000 credits/mo); Core from $9/mo. A free tier lets you test it before committing.
Make is best suited for Ops and power users who need complex, branching visual workflows at an affordable price. It earns its place for excellent value; far cheaper than Zapier for high-volume flows — though it's worth weighing the trade-off that steeper learning curve than Zapier for beginners.
