Best Make (Integromat) Alternatives in 2026
Make (formerly Integromat) is popular for its visual workflow builder and competitive pricing compared to Zapier. But it's not the right fit for everyone. Some teams need more enterprise controls, others want self-hosted options for data sovereignty, and some just want simpler automations without learning a visual programming language. Here's what else is out there.
The top Make alternative is Zapier, which is best for non-technical teams needing simple automations.
Companies build teams around Tray.io more than any other alternative below (5,119 postings, 761 companies). Zapier is next at 2,887.

1. Zapier
Coverage & Capabilities
6,000+ app integrations. The simplest trigger-action automation builder. Less powerful than Make for complex workflows, but faster to set up for straightforward automations.
AI-powered builder helps non-technical users.
If your automations are straightforward (trigger > action > action), Zapier is easier than Make. You pay more per task but save time on setup. Make wins for complex, branching workflows.
2. n8n
Coverage & Capabilities
400+ integrations. Self-hosted option means full data control. Node-based visual editor similar to Make but with the ability to write custom JavaScript/Python in any node.
Active open-source community.
The best Make alternative for technical teams that want full control. Self-hosting is free, and the ability to write custom code in workflow nodes makes n8n more flexible than Make for complex data transformations.
3. Workato
Coverage & Capabilities
1,000+ pre-built connectors. Enterprise features include role-based access, audit logs, version control, and compliance certifications. Handles complex business logic and high-volume data processing.
The enterprise upgrade from Make. If you need SOC 2 compliance, team governance, and can justify $10K+/year, Workato provides the controls that Make and Zapier lack.
4. Boomi
Coverage & Capabilities
Wide connector library for enterprise applications (SAP, Oracle, Workday). Handles complex B2B/EDI integrations alongside API-based workflows. More of an integration platform than a workflow tool.
Overkill for most automation use cases. Boomi is for enterprises that need EDI, API management, and master data management in a single platform. If you just need workflow automation, Make or n8n will do.
5. Tray.io
Coverage & Capabilities
300+ connectors with strong CRM and marketing integrations. Advanced data mapping and transformation capabilities. Designed for revenue operations workflows that are too complex for Zapier but don't need enterprise iPaaS.
A good middle ground between Make and Workato for RevOps teams. Stronger data transformation capabilities than Make, without Workato's enterprise pricing.
6. Celigo
Coverage & Capabilities
Pre-built integration templates for common business scenarios. Strongest in e-commerce and ERP integrations (NetSuite, Shopify, BigCommerce). Less flexible than Make for custom workflows, but faster deployment for standard integrations.
If your integration needs center on e-commerce or NetSuite, Celigo's pre-built flows will save significant setup time compared to Make. For general-purpose automation, Make is more flexible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Make or Zapier better?
Make is better for complex, multi-step workflows with branching logic. It's also cheaper per operation. Zapier is better for simple automations, has more integrations (6,000+ vs 1,000+), and is easier for non-technical users.
Most teams that outgrow Zapier's complexity limits switch to Make.
What is the cheapest Make alternative?
n8n is free when self-hosted. Zapier and Make both have free tiers. For cloud-hosted automation with the most generous free tier, Zapier's free plan (100 tasks/mo) and n8n's community edition (self-hosted, unlimited) are the best options.
Is n8n better than Make?
n8n offers more flexibility (custom code nodes, self-hosting, open source) but has fewer pre-built integrations than Make. For technical teams that want full control and are comfortable with self-hosting, n8n is the better choice. For visual workflow builders with more plug-and-play connectors, Make is easier to use.
