Zapier
Zapier is a cloud-only automation service billed by task. Teams look for self-hosted alternatives when task bills grow, when data must stay outside US hosting, or when they want workflows they can run and version themselves.
Workflow automation
Open-source and self-hostable alternatives to commercial integration and automation services such as Zapier, Make and Workato.
Make
Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual automation service billed by credits, hosted in US or EU zones. Buyers look for self-hosted alternatives when credit consumption grows or when they need the runtime inside their own network.
Workato
Workato is an enterprise cloud iPaaS that reaches private systems through an on-prem agent. Integration teams look for self-hosted alternatives for cost, for networks the cloud cannot reach, or to keep the whole runtime in their own infrastructure.
