n8n vs Make
Pick n8n if someone on the team can run a server, or a flow runs thousands of times, since it runs in n8n's cloud or self-hosted. Pick Make if your workflow branches and transforms a lot of data across more than 1,000 apps, which a simple trigger-and-action tool handles badly. n8n's cloud Starter is €20 a month billed yearly and its self-hosted Community Edition is on GitHub under the Sustainable Use Licence, while Make offers a Free plan and has no checked paid price on record.
