FAQ

Common questions

Across the volumes we track, Make is the lower-cost option — see the price table above for the exact figures at each level. Zapier bills per task and Make per operation, so both scale with workflow complexity; the per-unit difference is what drives the gap. Prices are taken from each vendor's public pricing page (July 2026).
In Zapier, one task = one action step — a 3-step Zap triggered 100 times consumes 300 tasks. In Make, one operation = one module execution, counted similarly per module. Both count multi-step workflows multiplicatively, so the per-unit price difference is what matters.
No — both are cloud-only. If self-hosting matters to you (cost control, GDPR, data residency), look at n8n or Activepieces instead — see the compare tool.
When breadth or simplicity matters most: 9,725 app connectors (often the only tool that connects a niche CRM or legacy system), a point-and-click editor, and the largest template library get non-technical users running fastest.
