IFTTT remains the gentlest introduction to automation: if this, then that, across an ecosystem especially strong in smart home, phones and consumer services. Applets install in two taps, and the Pro tier is impressively cheap for multi-action logic. It is not built for business workflows — no complex branching, light app coverage for B2B SaaS — but for personal and IoT automation it still occupies a niche the heavyweight tools ignore.

Make

4.6Unverified rating

No source on record for the G2 score, the Capterra score, the review count. What that means

Make (formerly Integromat) turns automation into a visual canvas: modules, routers and iterators snake across the screen, exposing logic that Zapier hides. That transparency enables genuinely complex scenarios — loops, aggregations, error handlers — at operation-based prices that undercut Zapier substantially at volume. The trade-off is a steeper on-ramp; it rewards operations-minded builders more than casual users automating a form-to-spreadsheet flow.

n8n

4.6Unverified rating

No source on record for the G2 score, the Capterra score, the review count. What that means

n8n is the automation tool engineers reach for: source-available, self-hostable, with code nodes wherever visual building runs out of road. Recent releases lean hard into AI agent workflows, making it a favorite for LLM orchestration. Self-hosting eliminates per-task fees entirely — compelling at scale — while the cloud version stays competitive. The catalog is smaller than Zapier's and the polish assumes technical comfort, which is exactly its audience.

Zapier

4.5Unverified rating

No source on record for the G2 score, the Capterra score, the review count. What that means

Zapier is the connective glue of business software, with an integration catalog — 7,000+ apps — that no competitor approaches. Multi-step Zaps, filters, paths and now AI steps let non-developers automate real workflows in minutes, and Tables plus Interfaces edge it toward an app platform. Task-based pricing is the perennial complaint: high-volume automations get expensive fast, which is precisely where Make and n8n make their pitch.
