Make or n8n for your business?
Hey guys — since I just joined, I figured I’d drop something useful for anyone thinking about adding automations to their business. One question I get all the time from business owners is: “Should I use Make or n8n?” There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It really depends on how much control you need vs how fast you want to move. Make - Easier to get started - Very visual (drag-and-drop) - Great for standard automations with common tools Where Make can struggle - Less flexibility once you get past the “template” stage - Custom logic can get annoying - You can hit a ceiling as workflows get more complex n8n - Way more flexible - Handles custom logic + edge cases better - Better when workflows need to scale or evolve over time Where n8n can struggle - Steeper learning curve - Takes more upfront thinking to build cleanly How I think about it:If you want speed and simplicity → MakeIf you want control and long-term flexibility → n8n And honestly, the tool matters less than the system behind it.The goal isn’t “automation”… it’s reliability (so things don’t break when you’re busy).
