Need to automate our startup workflows. Zapier is expensive but popular. n8n is open source. Make (formerly Integromat) is in between?

Requirements: connect 20+ apps, some complex workflows, reasonable pricing

What are you using for business automation in 2026?

n8n for self-hosted, Zapier for ease

Used all three:

  • Zapier: Easiest, most integrations, but expensive. Good for simple automations.
  • n8n: Open source, cheap self-hosted, powerful. Steeper learning curve but worth it.
  • Make: Middle ground, good visual workflow builder, better pricing than Zapier.

My pick: n8n for control, Zapier for speed.
