The pain
Zapier: Per-task pricing that spikes as workflows grow, and data running through a third party.
The upgrade
- Visual canvas
- Routers & filters
- 2,000+ apps
- Cheaper per operation
Trade-offs
- Smaller ecosystem of integrations and add-ons than Zapier.
- Fewer enterprise compliance certifications and admin controls in most cases.

How to migrate
From Zapier to Make
- Export. List every active Zap with its trigger, actions and connected accounts — Zaps can't be exported directly.
- Set up Make. Create your workspace and invite one or two people to pilot it first.
- Import. Bring your data in using Make's import tools, starting with what your team uses daily.
- Switch over. Rebuild the busiest workflows first and run both side by side for a few days. Then invite the rest of the team and cancel Zapier at the end of your billing period.
