The best Make alternatives
Drawn, coded or already built.

The best Make alternatives depend on what your scenarios are for. If they move and transform data between apps, the fair answers are other automation platforms, from Zapier to open-source n8n and Activepieces, and each is written up below. If most of your scenarios exist to answer leads and follow them up, Bold Agent Kit replaces the canvas with one AI agent on every channel, for $25 a month.

Why people look for Make alternatives

Make, formerly Integromat, is the automation platform people choose when they want to see the whole process. Scenarios are drawn on a visual canvas, module by module, with routers and filters to branch, and its homepage counts more than 3,000 pre-built apps. It has grown an AI layer on the same canvas: Make AI Agents, listed as an open beta in its help centre, Maia by Make for building through conversation, Make Grid for an overview of everything you have automated, and an MCP server.

The reasons people look elsewhere tend to come from the same few places. Make bills by credits, one for each module action, so a scenario with many modules can use a credit on each of them every time it runs, and AI on Make's own provider adds credits by tokens on top. Some teams want a different count, such as one per whole workflow run, or an edition they can run on their own servers. Some need apps outside Make's catalogue. Some want AI agents to be the product rather than a module on the canvas. And some developers would rather write the step than configure it.

Then there are the scenarios that are really one job. A webhook for the website form, a module watching the SMS provider, an AI agent drafting replies, a router for the answers, a calendar module, a data store for remembering who is who, and a schedule that decides how quickly any of it runs. That is a lead-response system drawn by hand. The alternative to it is not a different canvas to draw it on again. It is a system that arrives already drawn.

This page covers both readers. Five automation platforms are written up from their own websites, with how each one charges and when it is the better choice than Make. The first pick is for the reader whose scenarios exist to answer leads: Bold Agent Kit, one agent that answers chat, texts, calls, email and DMs from one knowledge base, books the appointment, and follows up until the lead replies, books or opts out.

Four reasons people move off Make

Each follows from how Make describes its own platform and billing. None of them is a fault; they are where the comparison usually starts.

Credits count module actions

Make replaced operations with credits as its billing unit, and on its pricing page each module action in a scenario, such as adding a spreadsheet row or fetching data from an account, counts as one credit. Plans are sized by monthly allowance, with extra credits sold in bundles and automatic top-ups available. A scenario with many modules can use a credit on each of them every time it runs, which is why teams with long scenarios compare platforms that count a run, a unit of compute or nothing at all.

AI adds its own measure

When a Make AI Agent runs on Make's own AI provider, its help centre says credits are added based on the tokens used. On your own provider connection, available on paid plans, the agent still uses a credit per operation. Neither is unusual for an AI platform, but it means an AI-heavy scenario has two things to forecast, and the AI Agents app itself is still listed as an open beta.

Timing is set per scenario

By default a Make scenario runs every 15 minutes, on a schedule you can change, or it starts immediately when a webhook receives a request or an app's instant trigger fires. For internal reporting that rarely matters. For anything customer-facing, where speed decides who wins the enquiry, it is a decision to get right in every scenario, and to keep right as scenarios are copied and changed.

The canvas is yours to maintain

Everything on a Make canvas was drawn by someone: each module, each router, each filter, and any data store holding state between runs. That is the reason people choose Make, and it is also the reason some leave, particularly when the thing drawn talks to customers. A lead-response system built as scenarios needs someone to keep every connection, route and stop condition working as channels and offers change.

What to look for in a Make alternative

Three questions sort the options quickly. They lead different readers to different tools, which is why the list is ranked for one reader and written fairly for all of them.

01 / Shape

Drawn, coded or finished

Make is drawn. Some alternatives are drawn too, with a different catalogue or a different count. Some lean on code, for developers who would rather write a step in Node.js or Python. Some are agent-first, where you describe an agent and give it tools. And some are finished products for one job. Decide which shape suits the work, and the people who will maintain it, before you compare a single feature.

02 / Meter

What gets counted

Make counts credits per module action. Zapier counts tasks per successful action. n8n and Activepieces count a whole workflow run as one, however many steps it takes. Pipedream counts compute time. Relevance AI's published pricing page shows an Enterprise plan through its sales team. Take your busiest scenario, count its modules and its monthly runs, and read each vendor's own definition against it.

03 / Hosting

Where it runs, and who runs it

A hosted platform keeps the servers out of your hands. A self-hosted edition keeps your data on your own infrastructure and asks someone to install, update and watch it. n8n and Activepieces both offer that second route, alongside their own managed clouds. Weigh the control against the upkeep honestly, because the time your team actually has is usually what decides it.

The best Make alternatives, ranked

The order here is for one reader: the business whose Make scenarios exist mostly to answer leads and follow them up. For that reader Bold Agent Kit comes first, because it takes the job off the canvas altogether. If your scenarios are general automation, start at number two. Zapier, n8n, Activepieces, Relevance AI and Pipedream are the real alternatives for that, each described from its own website, with how it charges and when it is the better choice.

We make Bold Agent Kit, which is why it is first on this list. Every other entry is described from its own website, including when it is the better choice.

01 / Best for scenarios that exist to answer and follow up leads

Bold Agent Kit

Bold Agent Kit is not a canvas and does not try to be one. It is a single AI agent for the conversations your customers start: email, text messages, phone calls, website chat and eleven social DM platforms, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, Viber, Slack, Discord, Bluesky, Reddit and X, all answered from one knowledge base of your documents, Q&A pairs, prices and pages. A genuine message is answered in seconds on the channel it arrived on, with no run schedule and no webhook to set up for each channel.

The modules a lead-response scenario strings together are part of the agent. It is given the slots that are genuinely free in your calendar, offers a few, and books the one the lead picks; it cannot book a time that was not free. Follow-up runs as a campaign of email, text and call steps, created as a draft and sent only once you press Start, and a reply, a booking or an opt-out on any channel ends it on every channel. The chat cookie, email address, phone number and social account id for one person are merged into one contact, so there is no data store to design.

Choose it when the scenarios you are tired of maintaining are the ones that talk to customers. Keep Make, or another platform below, for everything else: Bold Agent Kit does not automate back-office work, does not connect to Make, Zapier or n8n, and has no public API or webhooks. It connects directly to eighteen CRMs, calendars and stores, and costs $25 a month or $200 a year for the account, with unlimited agents, on your own AI key and your own carrier, both at cost.

02 / Best for step-by-step workflows across 9,000+ apps

Zapier

Zapier is Make's most direct counterpart, and the difference starts with shape. Where Make draws a scenario on a canvas, a Zap is a trigger followed by one or more actions, with paths for if/then branches and filters that decide what runs. Its homepage counts more than 9,000 apps. Around Zaps it has built Zapier Agents, which work from instructions, triggers, actions and knowledge sources, along with Chatbots, Forms, Tables, Interfaces and Canvas for mapping processes.

Zapier counts differently too. Zaps are billed by tasks, and its help centre defines a task as a successful action; triggers, filters, paths and built-in tools such as Formatter and Delay do not count. Zapier Agents are billed separately, by activities, on their own allowance. For a scenario full of routing and formatting modules, that difference in what gets counted can matter more than any headline price, so it is worth running your own workflows through both definitions.

Choose Zapier when the apps you depend on are in its catalogue and not in Make's, when your team prefers a straight list of steps to a canvas, or when you want forms, tables and chatbots from the same vendor as your workflows. On its published plans, Free and Professional come with one seat and Team with 25 users, so count the people who will build as well as the tasks they will use.

03 / Best for self-hosting, and paying per workflow run

n8n

n8n is worth a close look for Make users whose concern is credits per module. Like Make it is visual, with nodes laid out on a canvas, but it prices by executions, and its pricing page defines an execution as a single run of your entire workflow: it does not matter how many steps are in it or how much data it processes. All plans include unlimited users, unlimited workflows and every integration, and there is a 14-day free trial with no card needed.

It also gives you a way off a hosted platform. n8n Cloud is fully managed, and the Community Edition is free to self-host with almost the complete feature set; its documentation is clear that this needs setup through npm, Docker or a server, and the infrastructure and technical resources to run it. You can write JavaScript or Python anywhere in a workflow, and its AI Agent node works with any LLM, with memory, tools and human-in-the-loop approval steps.

Choose n8n when your team is comfortable with a technical tool, when you want automation on your own infrastructure, or when your scenarios are long and a per-run count fits them better than a per-module one. Its homepage counts over 500 integrations against Make's 3,000+, so check the specific apps you rely on, bearing in mind that its HTTP Request node reaches anything with an API.

04 / Best for open-source automation with a free plan to start on

Activepieces

Activepieces describes itself as AI agents with enterprise control: chat, agents, flows, tables and more than 760 apps in one workspace. Its integrations are called pieces, and its site says every piece is MIT-licensed and built in the open by hundreds of contributors. It can run on Activepieces' own cloud, on your servers, or fully air-gapped, and its MCP server lets tools such as Claude and Cursor run the flows you have built.

Its agents work in plain language, pick their own tools from the apps you have connected, and can be held at approval gates for sensitive steps. Billing is by credits, but a credit covers a whole run, however many steps it takes, which is a different count from Make's credit per module action. At the time of writing, the free plan includes 100 credits a day with unlimited flows and no card, Plus is published at $16 a month billed yearly for 10,000 credits a month, and a Community Edition covers the automation core on its own for self-hosting.

Choose Activepieces when you want open source without leaving a visual builder, when a per-run count suits your longer flows, or when you want to start on a free plan and grow into a paid one. Its catalogue is smaller than Make's, so check that the apps you rely on have pieces, and weigh the Community Edition against the team and governance features its paid plans add.

05 / Best for enterprise teams building an AI workforce

Relevance AI

Relevance AI comes at automation from the agent end. Its homepage offers specialist AI agents for every task, and the platform is built around an AI workforce for sales, customer success, marketing, support, operations, HR and research, with examples such as a research and enrichment agent, a pre-meeting prepper, a meeting scheduler and an outbound prospector. Its documentation describes generating an agent from a description, cloning one from its marketplace or building one from scratch, then equipping it with tools such as sending emails, updating a CRM, searching the web or calling any API, in a no-code tool builder.

Knowledge comes from uploaded files, Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion or websites, and several agents can be linked into a workforce on a visual canvas for multi-step work, with human-in-the-loop approvals where they are needed. It connects to more than 1,000 apps. Its pricing page shows an Enterprise plan through its sales team, listing unlimited agents, tools, users and projects, with custom actions and vendor credits, rather than a published price.

Choose Relevance AI when the reason you are leaving Make is that you want the agents to be the product rather than a module on the canvas, and when you are an organisation buying for several departments at once. If you are a small business with a handful of scenarios, the self-serve tools on this list are the more direct comparison.

06 / Best for developers who want to write the step in code

Pipedream

Pipedream is the developer's option on this list. Its workflows, in its own words, make it easy to integrate your apps, data and APIs with no servers or infrastructure to manage. A trigger starts each run, prebuilt actions connect to APIs without code, and code steps take Node.js, Python, Go or Bash wherever you would rather write the logic yourself. Its documentation counts 3,000 integrated apps.

Its homepage now leads with Pipedream as the integration layer for AI agents: managed authentication and more than 10,000 prebuilt tools and triggers across over 3,000 APIs, made available to agents through MCP. Billing is by credits, and its documentation defines a credit as 30 seconds of compute time at the default 256MB of memory, with more memory using credits faster. A free plan includes a daily limit of free credits, with limits on active workflows and connected accounts.

Choose Pipedream when the people building your automations are developers, when you want code to be the main way of building rather than an escape hatch, or when you are building an agent or product of your own that needs authenticated access to many APIs. For a team that prefers to click modules together, Zapier and Activepieces are closer to the way Make already works for you.

Read the pricing column as a set of different meters rather than a price list: tasks per action, executions per run, credits per run, credits per unit of compute, an enterprise plan, and a flat account price. Make itself bills by credits, one per module action; at the time of writing its published paid plans start at $12 a month, billed monthly, for 10,000 credits. The fair comparison is your own busiest scenario, run through each vendor's definition.

Which Make alternative should you choose?

If your Make scenarios are mostly customer-facing, the webhook on the form, the SMS module, the AI reply, the router, the calendar and the data store remembering who is who, choose Bold Agent Kit for that job. One agent answers chat, texts, calls, email and eleven DM platforms as messages arrive, books real slots, and stops following up the moment a lead replies, books or opts out anywhere. It is $25 a month for the account, and it sits beside whatever automation platform you keep; the two do not connect.

If your scenarios are general automation, choose by what is pushing you away from Make. For a larger app catalogue and a step-by-step builder, Zapier. For a per-run count and the option to self-host, n8n, or Activepieces if you want MIT-licensed pieces and a free plan to begin on. For code as the main way of building, Pipedream. For agents as the product across an enterprise, Relevance AI.

And if Make is doing its job and the credits make sense for your volume, staying is a perfectly good answer. Moving one job, the conversations with customers, to a tool built for it is often simpler than moving everything else with it.

Before you switch

What is the best Make alternative?

It depends on the scenarios you run. For customer-facing scenarios that answer leads and follow them up, Bold Agent Kit replaces them with one agent on every channel, for $25 a month for the account. For general automation, Zapier suits teams who want a step-by-step builder and a catalogue of more than 9,000 apps; n8n suits technical teams who want to self-host or pay per workflow run; Activepieces suits teams who want open source and a free plan; Pipedream suits developers; and Relevance AI suits enterprises building AI agents across departments.

Why do people switch from Make?

Most often because of what gets counted, or who has to maintain it. Make bills by credits, one per module action, so long scenarios use credits on every step, and AI on Make's own provider adds credits by tokens. Scenarios run on a schedule, every 15 minutes by default, unless a webhook or an instant trigger starts them. Some teams want to self-host, write code, or reach apps outside Make's 3,000+. And some find their scenarios are really a lead-response system, and would rather have that system finished than drawn.

How is Bold Agent Kit different from Make?

Make is a visual automation platform: you draw scenarios of modules across 3,000+ apps and are billed by credits. Bold Agent Kit does one job and comes already built. One AI agent answers email, texts, phone calls, website chat and eleven DM platforms from one knowledge base, books real calendar slots and follows up until the lead replies, books or opts out on any channel. There is no canvas, no run schedule and no credit count; it is $25 a month or $200 a year for the account. The full side-by-side is on our Bold Agent Kit vs Make comparison page.

Does Bold Agent Kit connect to Make?

No. Bold Agent Kit does not integrate with Make, Zapier, n8n or any other automation platform, and it has no public API or webhooks for a scenario to call. It connects directly to eighteen CRMs, calendars and stores, among them HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Calendly, Cal.com, Stripe and Shopify. Teams that keep Make run the two side by side: Make for operations and back-office data, Bold Agent Kit for the conversations with customers, with nothing passing between them.

Is there a free Make alternative?

Yes, in a few forms. Activepieces has a free plan with 100 credits a day and unlimited flows, and a Community Edition you can self-host. n8n's Community Edition is free to self-host with almost the complete feature set, though its documentation says it needs setup and the technical resources to run it. Pipedream has a free plan with a daily limit of credits. Bold Agent Kit is not free, but it has a 7-day free trial and then costs $25 a month for the account, with your AI key and your carrier billed to you at cost.

Is Make the same as Integromat?

Yes. Integromat became Make, and the platform carried on under the new name with its visual scenario builder. So a search for Integromat alternatives and a search for Make alternatives lead to the same comparison, and every tool on this page applies to both. What has changed since the Integromat days is mostly around the canvas: billing now counts credits rather than operations, and Make has added AI Agents, listed as an open beta in its help centre, along with Maia by Make, Make Grid and an MCP server.

How do Make credits compare with tasks, executions and runs?

Each vendor counts a different thing, by its own definition. Make counts a credit for each module action. Zapier counts a task for each successful action, while triggers, filters, paths, Formatter and Delay use no tasks. n8n counts one execution per full workflow run, however many steps. Activepieces counts one credit per whole run. Pipedream counts a credit per 30 seconds of compute at default memory. Take your busiest scenario, note its modules and its monthly runs, and read it against each definition; that tells you more than any headline price.

Which Make alternative is best for AI agents?

It depends on who the agent works for. Relevance AI is built around agents, with a no-code tool builder and multi-agent workforces, sold to enterprises through its sales team. n8n and Activepieces put agents inside workflows, with human approval steps on both and any LLM on n8n. Zapier has Zapier Agents, billed by activities. Pipedream gives agents you build yourself authenticated access to thousands of tools through MCP. For an agent that talks to your customers on chat, texts, calls, email and DMs, Bold Agent Kit is built for that one job.
