coming from make.com - honest comparison after 2 months
Nov 18156
switched from make about 2 months ago, figured id share my notes since i couldnt find many real comparisons
what i like better here:
- forms are native. in make i had to use typeform or jotform and connect them which was another point of failure
- tables replace my google sheets dependency. in make every scenario read/wrote to sheets and the google API rate limits drove me insane
- the visual workflow builder is comparable to make, maybe slightly less flexible but way less overwhelming for my non-technical teammates
- error messages actually tell you what went wrong. make would sometimes just say "error" with no details
what make does better:
- more integrations out of the box. make has connectors for literally everything. here i use the HTTP node for some niche tools which is fine but takes more setup
- the iteration/array handling in make is more intuitive. here i had to figure out loops a bit
- make has a nice data store feature that i havent found an exact equivalent for (tinytable kinda covers it but differently)
overall: happy with the switch. simpler, cheaper, and having forms+tables+workflows in one place eliminated a bunch of integration headaches
