The Best Make (Integromat) Alternatives in 2026 (Automation)
Tolodora Editorial Team
Tolodora's editorial team — we research, compile and regularly update these software guides from public sources and product documentation.
Make (formerly Integromat) is a powerful, visual automation platform that connects your apps into multi-step scenarios. But depending on whether you want the biggest app library, an open-source self-hostable option, a developer-friendly code approach, or a cheaper tool, another platform may suit you better.
The alternatives below range from the ubiquitous Zapier to open-source, self-hostable engines. Most connect your apps and run multi-step workflows — the real differences are app coverage, power, ownership and price.
We assess every pick on four things — pricing and value, functionality, ease of use, and support (our editorial view, not a lab test). Here's the rundown.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Make alternative?
Zapier is the top alternative for the biggest app library and easiest setup. For open-source and self-hosting, n8n or Activepieces; for developers, Pipedream. It depends on whether you value simplicity, ownership or code.
Is there a free, open-source Make alternative?
Yes. n8n and Activepieces are open-source and self-hostable, letting you run unlimited automations on your own infrastructure. Both are strong free alternatives to Make.
Which alternative has the most integrations?
Zapier has by far the largest app library (thousands of apps), making it the best choice if you need to connect many niche tools with minimal setup.
What's the best option for developers?
Pipedream is developer-first, letting you drop in code alongside no-code steps, and n8n is very developer-friendly and self-hostable. Both suit technical teams.
Is Make cheaper than Zapier?
Make is often more cost-effective for complex, high-volume scenarios thanks to its operations-based pricing, while Zapier can be simpler but pricier at scale. Self-hosted n8n can be the cheapest of all.

n8n and Activepieces can be self-hosted for free (open source), giving you full control and no per-task fees — unlike Make and Zapier, which are cloud-only.
