All three connect apps into automated workflows. The difference is price, flexibility and where data runs.
Zapier — easiest to start, thousands of integrations, great for short flows. Cost rises quickly with volume.
Make — visual and flexible, strong for complex scenarios, priced by operations. A solid default for most small businesses.
n8n — open source, self-hosted or cloud. Full data control; needs a bit more technical comfort.
On the mapping call we choose together based on tools you already use, budget and complexity — without locking into one brand. You can start from Business automation.
