Make alternatives
By Joris van Huët · each comparison from the vendors' own pricing and help pages, prices dated on the page
The short answer: 7 tools are compared with Make on this site, and the line under each one is the verdict from its comparison: who should pick which, with the figures that decide it on the comparison itself. Read the one that names your job. What Make costs and who it suits is in its entry, and how to use Make walks through one job with it.

Albato
If your flows are short and frequent, such as a form fill that becomes a CRM contact and a Slack note, Albato is the easier meter to live with: the trigger is free, and Pro costs $22 a month on monthly billing for 1,000 transactions, checked on 26 October 2026 on Albato's pricing page.
Boost.space
These two are layers more than rivals.
n8n
If one workflow has 15 steps and runs 2,000 times a month, n8n bills 2,000 executions, which fits inside Starter's 2,500 at $24 a month on monthly billing, checked on 26 October 2026 on the n8n pricing page; the same flow on Make is at least 15 x 2,000 = 30,000 credits under its per-module rule (operations guide).
Pabbly Connect
If you run dozens of simple trigger-and-action flows, an agency syncing lead forms into client CRMs for instance, Pabbly Connect is the cheaper meter to run: only action steps use tasks, Standard is $19 a month on monthly billing for 10,000 tasks, and Unlimited removes the task count for $79 a month, checked on 26.
Pabbly Connect vs Make: Flat Task Bills or Per-Module Credits
Power Automate
If your company already runs on Microsoft 365 and the flow lives in Outlook, Teams and SharePoint, start with Power Automate: work accounts can build cloud flows with standard connectors at no extra cost, and Power Automate Premium is $15.00 per user a month paid yearly, checked on 26 October 2026 on Microsoft's.
StackAI
If your IT or security team must approve any AI that touches internal documents, StackAI is built for that buyer: a deployment stage can require a reviewer before a new version goes live, Enterprise adds on-premise and private cloud deployment, and the Free plan covers 500 runs a month, 2 projects and 1 seat, checked.
StackAI vs Make: Governed AI Agents or Self-Serve Automation
Zapier
If your team builds many short automations across a long tail of apps, Zapier is the safer default: it connects 9,000+ apps, charges a task only when an action succeeds, and its Professional plan starts at $29.99 a month billed monthly, checked on 26 October 2026 on Zapier's pricing page.
