Integromatvsn8n

TL;DR

Integromat and Make are the same product - the platform rebranded and now lives at make.com, which is why the name keeps appearing in searches. Make prices in monthly credits: Free gives 1,000 credits with 2 active scenarios, Core is $12/month for 10,000 credits, Pro $21/month and Teams $38/month. n8n prices in workflow executions and leans technical: Starter is EUR 20/month billed annually for 2,500 executions with unlimited users, Pro is EUR 50/month for 10,000, and the community edition can be self-hosted from its public source. Pick Make for a visual builder with 3,000+ apps and a generous free tier; pick n8n if you want to write JavaScript or Python inside the workflow, or run it on your own infrastructure.

Make's billing unit is the credit, and its pricing page explains that most actions cost one credit while heavier AI-backed features cost more. Free includes 1,000 credits a month, 2 active scenarios, 3,000+ apps, a 15-minute minimum scheduling interval and a 5 MB file limit. Core at $12/month for 10,000 credits monthly unlocks unlimited active scenarios, scheduling down to a minute, the Make API and 30-day execution logs; Pro at $21/month adds priority execution, custom variables and full-text log search; Teams at $38/month adds team roles and shared scenario templates.

n8n counts workflow executions regardless of how many steps each one contains, and every paid plan includes unlimited users, unlimited workflows and the full integration library. Starter is EUR 20/month billed annually for 2,500 executions, Pro is EUR 50/month for 10,000 with email support, and Business is EUR 667/month for 40,000 executions but self-hosted only. What sets n8n apart is that its source is public: you can deploy it with Docker, run it yourself, and write JavaScript or Python anywhere in a workflow. That is the real fork in the road. Make gives you a polished visual builder and a free tier that covers a small business's first automations. n8n gives you execution-based pricing, code inside the flow, and a path to running everything on your own machines.

Pros & cons

👍 Integromat Pros

  • Free plan includes 1,000 credits a month with 2 active scenarios - enough for real automations before paying
  • Core at $12/month covers 10,000 credits monthly with unlimited active scenarios and scheduling down to one minute
  • 3,000+ standard apps, plus 350+ AI apps, an MCP server and AI agent tooling in the same platform
  • Credits are consumed per action, so a simple three-step scenario costs three credits rather than a full execution unit
  • Execution monitoring in real time, with log storage from 7 days on Free to 60 days on Enterprise
  • Enterprise tier adds overage protection, SSO with domain claim, audit logs, custom roles and 24/7 senior support

👎 Integromat Cons

  • The Free plan allows only 2 active scenarios and a 15-minute minimum scheduling interval, which rules out near-real-time work
  • Credit consumption varies by module and AI usage, so a monthly budget needs monitoring rather than being a flat number
  • File size and data transfer limits scale with plan (5 MB and 512 MB on Free, up to 1,000 MB and 5 GB on Enterprise)
  • It is a hosted product: there is no self-hosted edition, so data processing location is limited to the vendor's AWS regions

👍 n8n Pros

  • Unlimited users and workflows on every paid plan, with every integration available regardless of tier
  • Write JavaScript or Python anywhere in a workflow, and keep a visual builder for the rest
  • Starter at EUR 20/month billed annually for 2,500 executions; Pro at EUR 50/month for 10,000 with email support
  • Community edition can be self-hosted: deploy with Docker and read the full source, which is public
  • Debugging tools designed for engineers: re-run a single step instead of a whole workflow, replay or mock data, and a logs view
  • Starter includes 2,300 AI credits a month, rising to 13,700 on Pro; a 50% start-up discount is available for teams under 20 employees

👎 n8n Cons

  • Execution-based counting means one workflow with many steps still costs a single execution, but a long workflow with retries does not - volume planning needs care
  • Cloud Business tier is EUR 667/month and is self-hosted only, which is a steep jump from Pro
  • Self-hosting shifts reliability, upgrades, backups and secrets to your own team
  • Workflow history retention is limited on lower tiers: one day on Starter and five on Pro, against 365+ days on Enterprise

Verdict

Pick Integromat if

You want a visual builder with a free tier that runs real work

Make is the better starting point for non-specialists and small teams. The Free plan's 1,000 credits and 2 active scenarios cover genuine automations, Core at $12/month unlocks 10,000 credits with minute-level scheduling and API access, and 3,000+ apps are available without writing code.

Pick n8n if

You want to write code, run it yourself and add unlimited users

n8n is the pick when engineering control matters: JavaScript or Python anywhere in a workflow, unlimited users and workflows on paid plans, execution-based pricing that ignores step count, and a self-hosted community edition whose source is public. Starter at EUR 20/month makes entry affordable, and Business is the only tier that forces self-hosting.

What the vendors say, and what we did not measure

Integromat: vendor-published claims

  • Make's pricing page lists Capterra 4.8, G2 4.7 and GetApp ratings; these are vendor-published figures

Integromat: caveats

  • No independent review data was collected or verified for this comparison

n8n: vendor-published claims

  • n8n states that it is a top-50 GitHub project with 206.2k stars, a 4.7/5 rating on G2 and 200k+ community members; vendor-published figures

n8n: caveats

  • No independent review data was collected or verified for this comparison

Both vendors publish their own ratings and community statistics. We did not collect or verify independent reviews, ratings or quotes, so none appear here beyond those vendor claims, attributed as such.

Who Should Use Which?

Use Integromat if you...

  • You are automating business processes without an engineer on the team
  • You want a free tier that runs a couple of scenarios properly rather than a trial that expires
  • You need minute-level scheduling, API access and longer execution logs at a $12-21/month entry price
  • You want AI agent building and an MCP server in the same visual tool as your integrations

Use n8n if you...

  • Your workflows need custom code for data shaping, and you would rather write it than assemble modules
  • You need unlimited users without paying per seat
  • You want to run automation on your own infrastructure for data or compliance reasons
  • You want to re-run a single failing step instead of an entire workflow while debugging

FAQ

Is Integromat the same as Make?

Yes. Integromat rebranded as Make and its product, pricing and documentation now sit on make.com. Searching for Integromat still leads to the same platform.

How does Make's credit pricing work?

Each action a module performs consumes credits - most actions cost one credit, while heavier features such as Make Code App consumption are billed at 2 credits per second of execution. Error handlers and routers do not consume credits.

Is n8n free?

The community edition is free to self-host: deploy with Docker and access the full source code. The hosted n8n Cloud plans start at EUR 20/month billed annually for 2,500 executions, and every paid plan includes unlimited users and workflows.

Which one is cheaper for 10,000 operations a month?

Make Core is $12/month for 10,000 credits. n8n Pro is EUR 50/month for 10,000 executions, though a single execution can contain unlimited steps, so the comparison depends on how many steps your workflows chain.

Can I run either product on my own servers?

Only n8n, and only through the community edition or the self-hosted Business tier (EUR 667/month). Make is a hosted platform on AWS regions in the EU and North America.

Which has more integrations?

Make lists 3,000+ standard apps plus 350+ AI apps. n8n makes its entire integration library available on every paid plan and publishes the nodes as open source. Both cover the common SaaS tools; n8n's advantage is that you can extend a node yourself.
