I arrived at Baserow from a no-code background using Make (Formerly Integromat). If you use a no-code platform with Baserow, what’s your choice?
- Make
- Zapier
- n8n
- Something else…
If it’s something else, it would be interesting to know what that is.

No Zapier users here?
We have @troytessalone from the Zapier community here
Looks like a lot of love here for n8n
I think it stems from a love for open source software
I found Zapier was not cost effective for a small volume user like me, and Make was a better fit cost wise. Not tried n8n. Make is very user friendly I feel, so I guess I am too far committed to Make now to change. Hoping the Baserow modules get a buff sometime.
I used zapier for a very long time then finally canceled a year ago and went all in on n8n. n8n seems more flexible and lets you also write code, as a last resort. You should rarely need to write code though.
The thing I’d like to see more of for those workflow tools is a better testing environment, being able to promote from dev/qa to prod.
Hey @mark119,
Topic name should be renamed to “Which no-code Integration platforms is your preference?”
The n8n shines with its integration capabilities using scripting alongside normal integration. The most important thing is plans, They offer workflow executions with unlimited steps
Another important thing is you can self-host it on your server.
The only roadblock here is it needs some technical knowledge to set up and integrate things. As a starter, if you don’t have some computer backgound then it’s give you more challenges.
Almost everything you can do is like n8n, but they just limit custom programming step features to higher plans only. Still, it’s behind the capabilities of n8n.
But Make creates the perfect balance between cost and technical knowledge. You just know some of the basics about API and integration and you can use it.
As a any non-technical user who don’t know about API & how app integrations are work. Zapier it best choice as a starter. Their UI and large set of integration tools availability is by far the best.
With using Zapier these all things comes with slight high cost, Because i think they also pay to some big companies for some exclusive integrations.
Some other tools you worth to check it:
Zapier is where I started and all was good. However, I later needed tools with much greater flexibility which in that process is where I found Make.
I have used the Agent facility in n8n and very impressed. However, its low-code and the limit of 5 active workflows in the SaaS version means I will be sticking with Make where I have 35 active workflows
And that’s why its my tool of choice
The 5 workflows is only on the Starter plan, If you upgrade you can have a lot more… or if you self host the possibilities are endless
