## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-18 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Searched - here's what I'd actually recommend. One caveat on sourcing: most of what surfaces for this query is AI-generated SEO listicles (automationatlas.io, peerpush.com, and similar), so I've leaned on vendor pricing pages for numbers and my own working knowledge for the picks.

> ## The core automation layer (pick one)
> 
> **1. Zapier** - the default. ~8,000+ app integrations means whatever odd tool one team member insists on, it's probably connected. Best choice when your stack is wide and your workflows are shallow. The catch is per-*task* billing: Free is 100 tasks/mo, Professional ~$19.99/mo for 750, Team ~$69/mo for 2,000. That gets expensive fast at volume, and overage is billed at 1.25-2.5x. ([pricing](https://zapier.com/pricing))
> 
> **2. Make** - what I'd pick if you're running genuinely multi-step work (branching, loops, data transforms) rather than simple A→B triggers. Visual canvas, and dramatically cheaper per unit of work: Free is 1,000 credits/mo, paid starts around $9/mo for 10,000. Note Make moved to a credits model, so re-check the current tier table before you commit - the per-plan allowances shifted. ([pricing](https://www.make.com/en/pricing))

> **3. n8n** - the rig
