Latenode vs Make

Latenode and Make are both visual automation platforms connecting apps and data, but they differ in pricing model, integration count, and AI positioning.…

Best for Latenode: Latenode fits teams that want the largest integration count (5,500+), built-in access to 1,200+ AI models without separate API keys, and full custom JavaScript flexibility, particularly cost-sensitive teams comparing against Make on price.
Best for Make: Make fits teams that want a mature, well-documented visual scenario builder with routers, iterators, aggregators, detailed execution logs, and a large library of scenario templates, especially teams already comparing it directly against Zapier's more linear workflow style.

Key Differences

Pricing Structure

Latenode: Latenode uses CPU-second usage billing, e.g. approximately $10.80/month per 100,000 CPU seconds on Pay-as-You-Go, positioned as lower-cost than Make.

Make: Make uses tiered plans with monthly operations/credit allowances: Free ($0), Core (from ~$9/month), Pro (from ~$16/month), and Teams (from ~$29/month) or custom Enterprise pricing, all billed annually for the stated rates.

CPU-second billing versus tiered operations-credit billing produces different cost curves depending on workflow complexity and execution frequency.

Integration Count

Latenode: Latenode documents 5,500+ integrations spanning platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, and Shopify.

Make: Make documents 'thousands' of app integrations via pre-built modules, plus generic HTTP request and webhook modules for anything without a native connector.

A larger native integration catalog reduces the need for custom HTTP/webhook workarounds when connecting niche or newer apps.

AI Model Access

Latenode: Latenode bundles access to 1,200+ AI models and apps (including GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini) directly, without requiring separate API keys, and supports multi-agent AI architectures.

Make: Make includes AI modules and agent building blocks that incorporate LLM steps directly into automation workflows.

Bundled AI model access without separate API key management simplifies billing and setup for AI-driven automations.

Maturity and Company Background

Latenode: Latenode is legally registered as Nocode LTD with limited public company background information documented.

Make: Make was founded in 2012 as Integromat, acquired by Celonis in 2020, and rebranded as Make in 2022, giving it a well-documented company history and longer market presence.

A longer, better-documented operating history can matter for risk-averse buyers evaluating platform stability and vendor longevity.

Enterprise Security Inclusion

Latenode: Latenode includes SOC 2 Type II, GDPR compliance, SSO, and RBAC on all plans, not just top tiers.

Make: Make's Enterprise tier specifically adds SSO, SCIM, and audit logs, implying these are not included on lower tiers like Free, Core, or Pro.

Whether SSO and audit logging are available on entry-level plans or gated to Enterprise affects which tier a security-conscious small team must purchase.

Pros & Cons

Latenode

Pros

  • Execution-time pricing can be significantly cheaper than per-task competitors at scale
  • Full JavaScript and NPM support inside nodes for advanced logic
  • Core platform features are not restricted to higher-priced tiers
  • Built-in AI models, agent builder and RAG remove need for separate AI tooling
  • Generous free tier with 10,000 CPU-seconds per month

Cons

  • Usage-based pricing can be harder to predict upfront than flat-rate plans
  • Newer platform (founded 2022) with a smaller community than Zapier or Make
  • Separate PnP token system adds a second cost dimension to track
  • No disclosed venture funding may raise questions about long-term scale for enterprise buyers
  • Company headquarters and size are not publicly disclosed

Make

Pros

  • Powerful visual, flowchart-based workflow builder handles complex branching logic
  • Connects to over 3,000 apps and APIs
  • 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

Use Cases

Choose Latenode: Latenode fits teams that want the largest integration count (5,500+), built-in access to 1,200+ AI models without separate API keys, and full custom JavaScript flexibility, particularly cost-sensitive teams comparing against Make on price.
Choose Make: Make fits teams that want a mature, well-documented visual scenario builder with routers, iterators, aggregators, detailed execution logs, and a large library of scenario templates, especially teams already comparing it directly against Zapier's more linear workflow style.
Need both: There is no strong case for running both as primary automation platforms simultaneously, since they overlap heavily in purpose; a team might trial both on their free plans to compare execution reliability and integration coverage for their specific app stack before standardizing on one.

Latenode

  • Cost-sensitive high-volume automation — Teams running large volumes of automated workflows use Latenode's execution-time pricing to avoid the per-task costs that make Zapier expensive at scale.
  • Custom logic and API integration — Developers use built-in JavaScript support to add loops, conditionals and bespoke API calls that standard no-code connectors cannot handle.
  • AI agent and RAG workflows — AI-forward teams build multi-step agents that call LLMs, retrieve data via RAG, and take automated actions across connected apps.

Make

  • Marketing and sales workflow automation — Marketing and sales teams use Make to sync leads between CRMs, email tools, and spreadsheets automatically without manual data entry.
  • Business process automation for SMBs — Small business owners use Make to automate repetitive administrative tasks like invoicing, notifications, and data syncing across tools.
  • Enterprise process integration — Enterprise IT and operations teams use Make's Enterprise tier to connect internal systems and orchestrate mission-critical automated processes at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Latenode cheaper than Make?

Latenode is explicitly positioned as lower-cost than Make, using CPU-second usage billing (about $10.80/month per 100,000 CPU seconds) versus Make's tiered plans starting around $9/month for Core, but which is actually cheaper depends on your specific usage volume.

Does Latenode have more integrations than Make?

Latenode documents 5,500+ integrations, a specific figure, while Make's facts describe 'thousands' of integrations plus generic HTTP and webhook modules for anything without a native connector.

Which platform has a longer track record?

Make has the longer documented history, founded in 2012 as Integromat, acquired by Celonis in 2020, and rebranded as Make in 2022; Latenode's public company background information is more limited, registered as Nocode LTD.

Do both platforms include SSO on all plans?

Latenode includes SSO and RBAC on all plans, while Make appears to reserve SSO, SCIM, and audit logs for its Enterprise tier based on the documented plan features.

Can I write custom code in either platform?

Latenode explicitly supports full custom JavaScript code inside workflow nodes; Make's documented data tools are transformation-focused (iterators, aggregators, functions) without a documented general-purpose custom code node.

Does Make include AI features like Latenode?

Yes, Make includes AI modules and agent building blocks for incorporating LLM steps into workflows, similar in spirit to Latenode's 1,200+ AI models and apps, though Latenode documents a specific bundled model count and multi-agent orchestration support.
