## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, and the honest shape of the market: "workflow automation" splits into two things remote teams usually need at once - **connecting apps** (triggers/actions across your SaaS stack) and **coordinating people** (work assignment, approvals, async status). Most teams need one from each column.
> 
> ## App-to-app automation (the plumbing)
> 
> **1. Zapier** - Still the default first pick. ~9,000 app integrations means whatever obscure tool your team uses is probably supported, and non-technical people on your team can build Zaps without help. The catch is cost: it bills per *task* (each individual action), free tier is 100 tasks/mo, paid starts around $20/mo, and it gets expensive fast at volume. Pick it if integration breadth and letting anyone build matters more than the bill. ([pricing](https://zapier.com/pricing))
> 
> **2. Make** - The value pick, and what I'd recommend to most small-to-midsize remote teams doing real volume. Visual scenario builder, near-comparable integration coverage, and operations-based billing that's typically several times cheaper than Zapier at the same workload - one comparison priced a 100k-action month at ~$599 on Zapier vs ~$59 on
