Standout Differences
Bardeen is the only one built as a browser extension for web-page automation
Bardeen's Playbooks scrape and act on data directly within web pages inside Chrome, a fundamentally different automation surface from Integrately's and Make's server-side app-to-app workflows.
Bardeen
Make offers the most app integrations and the most powerful branching logic
Make connects to over 3,000 apps and APIs through a visual scenario builder with routers, filters, and detailed step-by-step data inspection, more integration breadth and workflow complexity than either Bardeen or Integrately document.
Make
Integrately differentiates on price and support
Integrately is commonly cited as 60 to 80 percent cheaper than larger competitors for comparable usage, and its live chat support even extends to video calls to help configure automations.
Integrately
Bardeen and Make both offer AI-assisted automation building
Bardeen AI generates browser automations from natural-language instructions, and Make's AI agent orchestration lets scenarios incorporate large language model calls and AI-driven decisions.
Generally more affordable at scale than Zapier for comparable usage
Detailed data inspection at every step makes debugging easier
Backed by Celonis, providing enterprise-grade stability and continued investment
Cons
Steeper learning curve than simpler linear automation tools
Credit/operation-based pricing can be difficult to predict for complex scenarios
Free plan is limited to two active scenarios
Some advanced features require Pro or Teams tier
Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales rather than transparent self-serve pricing

Frequently Asked Questions
Which of these three automation tools is the cheapest?
Integrately and Make both start their paid plans under $20/month (Integrately's Starter at $19.99/month, Make's Core at $9/month), while Bardeen's cheapest paid plan is $10/month for a smaller 100-credit allowance. Integrately is generally cited as the cheapest at comparable usage volume.
Does Bardeen work outside the browser?
Bardeen is delivered primarily as a browser extension, so its automations are centered on web-based tasks and data extraction rather than the broader server-side app-to-app connections that Integrately and Make specialize in.
Which has the most app integrations?
Make connects to over 3,000 apps and APIs, ahead of Integrately's 1,400-plus. Bardeen's integrations are narrower, centered on a named set of tools like Google Sheets, Notion, HubSpot, and Salesforce.
Is there a free plan for all three?
Yes, all three offer a free plan: Bardeen with limited monthly automation credits, Integrately with 100 tasks and 5 single-step automations, and Make with 1,000 operations and up to 2 active scenarios.
Which is best for complex, multi-step workflows?
Make is the strongest fit, with a visual, flowchart-style builder supporting routers, filters, and detailed data inspection at every step, purpose-built for complex, branching automation logic.
