Alternatives to Make

{"intro": "Make brings app connections, data handling, and multi-step automation into a visual builder. You can add conditional paths, webhooks, custom apps, HTTP requests, and public-API connections, then build visually, in code, or with a prompt. AI agents, AI tools, Maia, and more than 300 AI app integrations extend its workflow options. Android and iOS apps can monitor phone events and perform device actions. The free plan has no time limit or credit-card requirement, but allows up to 1,000 credits monthly; every scenario action consumes credits, and scheduled runs on that plan have a 15-minute minimum interval.\n\nYou might prefer an alternative for self-hosting, a process-application focus, a simpler app-connection model, or a different starting price. Compare integration breadth, workflow depth, supported platforms, and whether the free allowance fits your activity. Check each product’s paid entry point and trial terms where provided. Also weigh Make’s code and prompt options, AI capabilities, mobile apps, team permissions, encryption, and enterprise support against products centered on approvals, BPMN processes, Applets, AI agents, or straightforward connectors.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:joget", "name": "Joget", "best_for": "Enterprise applications with self-hosting and approval workflows", "pricing": "Free plan; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Joget adds self-hosted deployment, enterprise app building, multi-level approvals, SLA monitoring, and directory-based identity options.", "choose_when": "Choose it when governed applications, approval stages, database connections, or self-hosting matter more than Make’s broad app library."}, {"ref": "sw:zoho-flow", "name": "Zoho Flow", "best_for": "Zoho-centered integrations with a lower paid entry price", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $25/mo (annual); 15-day trial", "key_difference": "Zoho Flow offers over 1,000 app integrations and 5,000 included task runs, versus Make’s larger app library and 10,000 credits.", "choose_when": "Choose it when 1,000 integrations cover your needs and the stated $25 monthly annual price suits your budget."}, {"ref": "sw:ifttt", "name": "IFTTT", "best_for": "Simple app, device, and service connections", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $2.99/mo; 7-day trial", "key_difference": "IFTTT uses Applets to automate actions across two or more services, with over 1,000 apps, services, and devices.", "choose_when": "Choose it for straightforward cross-service or device Applets rather than Make’s multi-step scenario building and conditional controls."}, {"ref": "sw:bonita", "name": "Bonita", "best_for": "Governed enterprise processes and mission-critical operations", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Bonita focuses on governed process applications, BPMN modeling, complex rules, SLA enforcement, and low-code operational interfaces.", "choose_when": "Choose it when business-process governance, structured BPMN models, forms, dashboards, or SLA enforcement are central requirements."}, {"ref": "sw:taskade-ai-agents", "name": "Taskade AI Agents", "best_for": "Prompt-created AI agents with project and web context", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $10/mo", "key_difference": "Taskade creates live apps from one prompt, with agents trained on projects, documents, and links that can search the web and act inside apps.", "choose_when": "Choose it when agent memory, project context, web research, and prompt-created apps matter more than Make’s connector catalog."}, {"ref": "sw:pabbly-connect", "name": "Pabbly Connect", "best_for": "Web-based workflows with many connectors and 10,000 runs", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Pabbly Connect provides 2,000 native connectors and 10,000 included task runs, while its free task allowance is not generally specified.", "choose_when": "Choose it when a web-only platform with 2,000 connectors and a stated 30-day refund guarantee fits your workflow."}, {"ref": "sw:albato", "name": "Albato", "best_for": "API and web automations at a lower annual starting price", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $15/mo (annual); 7-day trial", "key_difference": "Albato supplies 1,000 native connectors with multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and webhooks at a stated $15 monthly annual starting price.", "choose_when": "Choose it when 1,000 connectors are sufficient and the lower annual starting price outweighs Make’s larger integration library."}]}
