Platform Overview
Make.com (formerly Integromat) is a cloud-based visual automation platform, while n8n offers both cloud and self-hosted options. Both excel at connecting apps and automating workflows, but they serve different use cases.
Pricing Comparison
Make.com uses a operations-based pricing model starting at $9/month. n8n is free when self-hosted, with cloud pricing starting at $20/month. For high-volume automations, n8n self-hosted offers significant cost savings.
Integration Ecosystem
Make.com boasts 1500+ pre-built apps with a polished interface. n8n offers 350+ integrations but allows custom node creation and direct API calls, providing more flexibility for developers.
User Interface
Make.com features a more refined, user-friendly interface ideal for non-technical users. n8n's interface is developer-focused, offering more technical control but requiring a steeper learning curve.
Data Privacy & Security
n8n self-hosted gives you complete data control - perfect for GDPR compliance and sensitive data. Make.com handles all infrastructure but means your data passes through their servers.
Verdict
Choose Make.com for quick setup and non-technical teams. Choose n8n for data sovereignty, unlimited executions, and developer-friendly features.
