Why Leave Make?

Common frustrations with Make's pricing model

Per-Operation Pricing

Make charges per operation. Complex workflows with multiple steps quickly consume your operation quota, forcing expensive upgrades.

Operation Limits

Hit your monthly operation limit? Workflows pause until you upgrade or wait for reset. No flexibility for peak usage.

Complex Pricing

Make's pricing is confusing—operations, data transfer, storage all counted separately. Hard to predict monthly costs.

Vendor Lock-In

Your workflows are locked into Make's platform. Export is limited, migration is complex, and you're dependent on their roadmap.

n8n: Unlimited Operations

No Operation Limits: Run unlimited operations for the cost of infrastructure. No per-action fees.
Predictable Costs: Fixed infrastructure costs vs. unpredictable operation-based billing.
Complex Workflows: Build workflows with hundreds of steps without worrying about operation counts.
Data Control: Your automation data stays on your infrastructure—complete privacy and compliance control.
Custom Nodes: Build custom integrations, connect to proprietary systems, extend functionality.
