Make vs n8n
Comparison between the two most used automation platforms for integrating AI into business processes.
Make (formerly Integromat) and n8n are the two most powerful options for automating processes with AI. Here's an honest comparison.
Make: pros and cons
- Visual and intuitive, smooth learning curve
- Many native integrations
- Limited in complex logic and branching
- No self-hosted option (your data goes through their servers)
- Per-operation pricing (gets expensive quickly)
n8n: pros and cons
- Self-hosted available (cloud too)
- JavaScript/Python code within workflows
- Native AI nodes (OpenAI, Anthropic, vector stores)
- Steeper learning curve
- Active community but documentation could improve
Our recommendation
- To start quickly with simple processes: Make
- For AI processes, sensitive data, or scale: n8n
- For technical teams or startups: n8n, no question
