| What it does | n8n connects applications and AI components into configurable automation workflows. | Make is a visual automation platform for building multi-step scenarios between apps, billed by credits consumed by actions. |
| When to consider it | Consider it when you can define the trigger, data transformations, and actions of a repeatable process. | Consider it when automations branch, loop, or handle errors and a visual canvas helps the team see the whole flow. |
| What to check first | Self-hosting requires operational work and has its own licensing terms. Review credentials, retries, failure handling, and third-party API costs. | Scenarios stop running when credits run out, and extra credits expire. Plan prices were not visible in our reading of the pricing page; confirm them there. |
