Why Teams Choose It Over Zapier
Zapier charges $20-600/mo based on tasks. Make.com is complex:
- Self-hosted = free — unlimited tasks, unlimited flows
- Code steps — TypeScript when no-code isn't enough
- Open source — build custom integrations
- Simple UI — cleaner than Make.com's visual mess
A marketing team was paying $299/mo for Zapier Pro (20K tasks). They migrated to self-hosted Activepieces — same integrations, added custom TypeScript steps for data transformation Zapier couldn't do, unlimited tasks for $0.
