Quick Verdict

Zapier is the easy button—but it’ll cost you. Make is like building a robot from scratch: powerful, frustrating, and oddly satisfying. If you just want to connect a few apps without thinking, Zapier wins. If you need complex logic and hate wasting money on task limits, Make is the better long-term bet. Both will occasionally make you want to throw your laptop out a window.

Zapier **** (4/5) – best for quick,
