Zapier vs Make — which costs less?

Make logoMake < Zapier logoZapier at every volume we track
Make is 14–24× cheaper at paid volumes — and its free tier covers 1,000 ops/mo outright; Zapier wins on integration count — 9,000+ vs 1,500+. If your apps exist in both ecosystems, Make is the value pick. If you depend on a long-tail integration only Zapier has, that decides it.

FAQ

Common questions

At every volume we track, yes — from $0 vs $44.99 at 1,000 ops/mo to ~$45 vs ~$1,065 at 100,000. Zapier's free tier has no pay-as-you-go, so any real volume starts on a paid plan — and its overage ($25 per 1,000 tasks) is roughly 28× Make's ($9 per 10,000 ops), so the gap grows with volume.
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.
Integrations. With 9,000+ supported apps versus Make's 1,500+, Zapier is often the only tool that connects a niche CRM or legacy system. If the integration you need exists only there, the price premium is the cost of admission.
