Zapier vs Make vs n8n

Zapier has the most integrations and the gentlest learning curve, but costs the most at volume. Make handles complex branching and iteration visually and is cheaper per operation, at the price of a steeper curve. n8n can be self-hosted for full data control and no per-task fees, but you own the infrastructure. Small teams start with Zapier; ops-heavy teams graduate to Make; engineering teams with privacy requirements pick n8n.
