Description

ClickUpClickUp is an all-in-one productivity platform with AI features for project management, docs, and team collaboration. ClickUp Brain adds AI assistance for writing, summarizing, and automating workflows across your workspace.

MakeVisual automation platform (formerly Integromat) known for a scenario builder that makes data transformation and routing logic easier to visualize than Zapier's linear flow model. At $9-16/mo for 10,000-40,000 operations, it sits between free tools and enterprise platforms. Strong for teams doing complex multi-branch data processing without writing code.

Pros

ClickUp

Feature-rich platform
AI integrated throughout
Good free tier
Highly customizable
All-in-one solution

Make

Non-linear visual builder is significantly clearer than Zapier for workflows with multiple branches and conditions
Operations-based pricing means 1 automation with 5 steps costs 5 ops — often cheaper than per-task Zapier pricing
Data Store allows state to persist between runs without an external database for simple key-value use cases
Free tier includes 1,000 operations/month — enough for testing before committing to a paid plan

Cons

ClickUp

Can be overwhelming
Learning curve steep
Performance issues sometimes
AI costs extra

Make

AI node support is limited compared to n8n — building LLM pipelines requires more manual HTTP module work
Scenario builder becomes visually complex (hard to read) on workflows with 30+ modules
Free tier requires manual scenario activation — paid plan required for scheduled automatic runs
No self-hosting option — all data flows through Make's cloud infrastructure
Cost scales linearly with operation count, not workflow count; high-frequency scenarios become expensive at $9/mo base
