Make vs Motion

Side-by-side comparison — features, pricing, pros and cons

Freemium

4.1

Visual 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.

Category:Workflow Automation

Features

Visual scenario builder with non-linear, branching workflow visualization
2,000+ app integrations including HTTP/REST and webhooks for custom APIs
Advanced router modules for conditional branching and data filtering
Data store: built-in lightweight database for state persistence between scenarios
JSON/XML parsing and transformation with no-code tools
+3 more

Pros

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

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
