01
Zapier is an automation platform that connects apps and workflows, now including AI orchestration capabilities through Zapier MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Unmatched breadth, wiring thousands of apps together plus newer AI agents and chatbots, so almost any tool you use is already supported. Task-based pricing climbs as volume grows and intricate multi-step flows get fiddly, making it better for connecting apps than heavy logic.

02
Make is a visual workflow automation platform that connects over 3,000 apps and services, enabling users to build automated workflows without extensive coding
The most visually intuitive automation platform for building complex multi-step workflows, with granular control and generous operation pricing that undercuts Zapier. The visual scenario builder can get overwhelming on large flows, and the learning curve is steeper than simpler triggers-and-actions tools.

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform that lets users build complex automations through a visual, node-based interface
The top pick for developers who want powerful automation they can self-host and own — more technical than Zapier, and far more flexible.
