Zapier and n8n automation
We build automations on Zapier and Make and on self-hosted n8n — and, before we build, tell you honestly which one fits, where a custom webhook beats a stock connector, and when owning the automation beats renting it.
Zapier, Make, and n8n solve the same problem in different ways, and picking wrong is expensive. Zapier and Make are fast to build on and priced per task; n8n you host yourself, which costs more to stand up but removes the per-task meter and keeps your data on your own infrastructure.
We choose based on volume, sensitivity, and how much you want to own — then build the automation to be reliable rather than a demo that works once. Where a platform's stock connector stops short, we drop in a custom webhook or node so the flow is complete instead of nearly working.
How we build it
-
The right platform for the job
A straight recommendation between Zapier, Make, and n8n based on your task volume, data sensitivity, and budget — not whichever one we happen to like.
-
Custom webhooks and nodes
Where a stock connector cannot do what you need, a custom webhook or n8n node fills the gap, so the automation is complete rather than blocked at the one step nobody supports.
-
Owned versus off-the-shelf
An honest weighing of a hosted platform's convenience against self-hosted n8n's control and cost, so you land on the trade-off that fits how you operate — and can move later without starting over.
