Make vs Zapier

The deciding difference is the cost of each unit of work against the number of apps each tool reaches. Make bills in credits, one for most module actions, including the module that fetches the data, and its paid plan costs $10.59 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly, for 5,000 credits with unlimited users. Zapier bills in tasks, one for each successful action step, with triggers, filters and paths free, and Professional costs $29.99 a month, or $19.99 a month billed yearly, for 750 tasks and one user. At those entry tiers Make gives many more units for less money, and its canvas handles branching with routers and lists with an Iterator that runs later modules once per item. Zapier says it integrates more than 9,000 apps, against the 3,000+ Make lists. Choose Make for branching, list-heavy or high-volume automations, and Zapier when an app you need is covered only by Zapier or when non-technical staff will maintain the automations.
