Make vs Automatisch — pricing & features compared

Make logoMake vs Automatisch logoAutomatisch
Both lean visual, but the hosting model differs. Automatisch is open-source and self-hosted, so its cost is your server bill at any volume, while Make is a managed cloud builder priced per operation with a far larger app catalog (2,594 app connectors vs Automatisch's 92) and a polished drag-and-drop canvas. Automatisch trades integrations and convenience for data control and a flat cost — though note the project has been quiet since early 2026 (no releases since August 2025), so pin your version and have an exit plan. Make trades self-hosting for breadth and a richer editor. See the price table below for figures.

Common questions

From published pricing, Automatisch is the lower-cost option across the volumes we track — $8 vs $10.59 at 1,000 runs/mo, and $45 vs $214.31 at 100,000. Figures include overage where it applies — see the table above. Price is one factor; the feature and trade-off sections cover the rest.
In Make, one operation = one module execution, counted per module across the scenario. Automatisch doesn't meter operations — it's self-host only (the hosted cloud plan was wound down in late 2025), so the cost is your server.
Automatisch yes — self-hosting makes it nearly free at any volume. Make is cloud-only.
When you want breadth and a polished builder without running servers. Make connects 2,594 apps with a visual, field-level editor and keeps a managed cloud running for you — a non-technical team can build complex scenarios without touching infrastructure.
