| Zapier | Make | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Beginners and fast setup | Visual multi-step automations |
| Learning curve | Lower | Moderate |
| Visual builder | Simple | Advanced visual paths |
| Good first automation | Form -> email -> spreadsheet | Multi-step lead routing |
| Who should skip | Technical teams wanting deep control | People overwhelmed by visual logic builders |
If your business is still changing every week, simplicity usually beats power.
