n8n vs Make: Which automation tool should you choose?

Choosing the orchestration tool is critical for your automation infrastructure. Today, two players dominate the European market: Make (formerly Integromat) and n8n.

Make: Accessibility first

Make shines with its unparalleled visual interface. If you are new to automation, this is the perfect tool.

• Strengths: Intuitive interface, large catalog of apps, visual debugging.
• Weaknesses: "Operations"-based pricing that can skyrocket if you handle a lot of data, complex code handling (complex JSON).

n8n: Power and flexibility

n8n is built for engineers and "Vibe Coders". It is open-source and can be self-hosted, ensuring data security.

• Strengths: Workflow-based pricing, powerful native JavaScript execution, perfect for powering advanced AI Agents.
• Weaknesses: Steeper learning curve for complete beginners.

Our verdict

At AI French Touch, we build our Sales Machines primarily on n8n for its robustness at scale. It is actually the core of our n8n Expert Training. But Make remains a great ally for quick proofs of concept (PoC)!
