What it is

Make is a visual, no-code automation platform. You build "scenarios" on a canvas that move data between apps, with branching, filters and AI steps.

Pricing

Make has a free tier. Paid plans are based on operations used; see make.com/pricing.

Good first automations for solopreneurs

  • New booking → add to CRM → send a prep email
  • New invoice paid → thank-you email → update a spreadsheet
  • New blog post → draft social posts with an AI step for you to review

Make is the automation pick in our freelancer stack and in all three budget stacks.

Who it's not for

  • If you only need a few simple automations and want the easiest setup, Zapier may suit you better (Make vs Zapier).

Verdict

A flexible way to remove repetitive admin, worth learning if you run several tools.

This review is based on the vendor's public website and documentation. Check current pricing on the vendor's site.
