n8n vs Zapier

Zapier connects more apps and needs no code. n8n bills per run instead of per action and can live on your own server.

Both are no-code. Make is cheaper to start and shows the whole scenario on a canvas; Zapier connects more than twice as many apps.

Two canvases, two meters. Make counts every module action; n8n counts one execution per run and can be self-hosted.

Gumloop is a chat-first agent platform with unlimited seats. n8n is a workflow tool with an agent node and a self-hosted edition.

Flowise was discontinued in 2026, so this is no longer a fair fight. Here is what each was built for, and where Flowise users can go.
