Make scored 8.4/10 hands-on. n8n wasn’t hands-on tested — it’s marked vendor-doc-reviewed only, since it’s self-hosted and outside our standard testing rig. Treat this comparison as directional on the n8n side, not a head-to-head of two equally-tested tools.
| Make | n8n | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | 8.4/10 | Not rated (vendor-doc reviewed) |
| Price | Free / $9/mo | Free self-hosted / €20–€50/mo cloud |
| Model | Managed, visual canvas | Self-hosted or cloud, code steps available |
Verdict: Make for teams that want a managed tool with a strong free tier and an easy client handoff. n8n for technical teams willing to self-host to avoid per-task pricing and build AI agents with code steps — real infrastructure work, so only worth it once someone owns maintaining it.
