Make, n8n, or Zapier: choose around the workflow

This is a concise English adaptation. Read the full Spanish edition for the complete analysis, tables, and reporting context.

The practical takeaway

Zapier commonly suits familiar automations where straightforward setup matters. Make provides a visual canvas for branches and data transformations. n8n offers flexibility for teams that need custom logic or deployment options. Checked October 18, 2026: Make Free includes 1,000 monthly credits; Core starts at US$12 per month billed annually, or US$16 on monthly billing, for 10,000 monthly credits. Zapier Free includes 100 monthly tasks and two-step Zaps; Professional starts at US$19.99 per month billed annually. n8n Cloud Starter costs €20 per month billed annually for 2,500 monthly executions; Community is self-hosted and Cloud offers a temporary trial. Credits, tasks, and executions are different units. Annual prices require the annual commitment. Verify the selected plan, taxes, external services, maintenance, and actual usage before buying. Try a native rule or a manual template first if it already solves the task.

Keep these points in mind.

• Test an actual workflow rather than comparing integration counts.
• Compare free-plan limits and measured usage; credits, tasks, and executions are different units.
• Include monitoring, maintenance, and the team’s technical capacity.
