n8n vs Make vs Zapier — which to pick in 2026

Zapier — simplest, priciest, most integrations (>6000). Good for simple marketing flows.

Make (formerly Integromat) — visual, mid-priced, great for moderately complex scenarios. Strong native AI support.

n8n — open source, self-host or cloud, cheapest at scale, most flexible (custom code). Best for AI agents and workflows with private data.

Our recommendation: n8n on your own server for companies that want data control and low costs. Make for marketing teams. Zapier for sub-5-person startups.

We deploy all three. Choice depends on scale, budget and GDPR requirements.
