Zapier vs Make vs n8n Cost Calculator

Pricing snapshot verified 2026-09-10, read off each vendor's own pricing slider. This free planning tool translates one workflow into Zapier tasks, Make credits and n8n executions. Estimates are not vendor quotes.

What the calculator counts

Zapier generally counts successful downstream action tasks. Make generally counts trigger or polling checks plus module executions. n8n Cloud generally counts top-level production workflow executions. Self-hosted n8n adds the selected Hostinger, DigitalOcean or custom server, backups, database, queue, monitoring and maintenance labour. Its capacity signal uses duration, burst assumptions and workload type; workflow count alone is not a server limit.

How to use the result safely

Model each workflow separately, include bundles and polling, check required integrations and governance, and verify the current vendor plan before buying. Taxes, regions, promotions, overages, AI usage and enterprise terms can change the result. Every ladder shown is the annual billing basis, which is each vendor's default and their cheapest; monthly billing costs more everywhere.

A calculator prices a shape you describe. If you would rather have someone read the real process, book the free 30-minute consult and bring it, or see what we build and what it costs. Prem is a Make.com Level 5 Expert and a Zapier Certified Expert, so the recommendation is not vendor-neutral by accident, it is vendor-neutral on purpose: sometimes the honest answer is the platform we do not sell.
