在自动化工具的世界里，选择合适的平台往往能让你的工作效率翻倍。这篇文章对比了 Make 和 n8n 两个自动化平台，帮你在 2025 年做出明智选择。
Make 凭借其直观的可视化界面和拖放功能，让非技术用户也能轻松构建复杂工作流。它提供了 2,400 多个预构建应用集成，企业级安全合规，以及 24/7 的客户支持。相比之下，n8n 虽然提供自托管选项，但学习曲线陡峭，需要更多技术知识和维护成本。
如果你追求开箱即用的解决方案和企业级可靠性，Make 是更全面的选择。n8n 则适合那些有技术背景、喜欢深度定制且有时间维护的用户。两种平台的计费模式也不同：Make 按操作收费，n8n 按完整工作流执行收费，这意味着根据你的具体使用场景，成本效益会有所不同。选择自动化工具不仅关乎功能，更要考虑你的团队技能和长期维护成本。
以下是来自 Make 的博客文章的双语对照版本。
As a key player in the automation industry, Make has been a driving force of innovation in the sector since 2016. The automation landscape is of course constantly evolving with new entrants to the market emerging all the time. Some stay and carve out a niche for themselves. Others may not last quite so long.
作为自动化行业的关键参与者，自 2016 年以来，Make 一直是该行业创新的驱动力量。自动化领域当然在不断发展，新的市场参与者不断涌现。有些会留下并开辟自己的利基市场。有些可能不会持续太久。
Our customers often come to us from other platforms like Zapier that they’ve simply outgrown. Others tell us that they chose us because they’ve weighed up our strengths against some of the newer players in the industry and decided that we are the better option.
我们的客户经常从其他平台（如 Zapier）转到我们这里，因为他们已经不再满足于这些平台。还有一些人告诉我们，他们选择我们是因为他们权衡了我们的优势与行业中一些新参与者的优势，并认为我们是更好的选择。
One example of this is when customers tell us that they’ve been comparing Make and n8n. So we thought we’d do some of the heavy lifting for you and assess some of the key differences. Let’s dig into the details.
其中的一个例子是，客户告诉我们他们一直在比较 Make 和 n8n。因此，我们认为应该为您做一些繁重的工作，并评估一些关键差异。让我们深入了解细节。
A unique user-friendly and visual interface
独特的、用户友好的可视化界面
A key focus for Make is its visual approach to workflow automation. Within Make, automations contain modules and animations that illustrate the actions you’re automating and where your data is flowing to. This is one of the core benefits of Make – the intuitive drag-and-drop interface allows users to see what they’re doing, meaning they can visually create, build, and automate to their true potential.
Make 的一个关键重点是其工作流程自动化的可视化方法。在 Make 中，自动化包含模块和动画，这些模块和动画说明了您正在自动化的操作以及您的数据流向的位置。这是 Make 的核心优势之一——直观的拖放界面允许用户看到他们在做什么，这意味着他们可以通过可视化方式进行创建、构建和自动化，从而充分发挥他们的潜力。
In contrast, customers tell us that the n8n user experience is not as sophisticated. What they find is a complex user interface with a very steep learning curve. As an example, it’s difficult to import and map data. Building inline functions is also complex as users have to code these themselves and can’t neatly drag and drop them.
相比之下，客户告诉我们 n8n 的用户体验不如 Make 那样完善。他们发现的是一个复杂的用户界面，学习曲线非常陡峭。例如，导入和映射数据很困难。构建内联函数也很复杂，因为用户必须自己编写这些代码，而不能整齐地拖放它们。
An Enterprise-ready solution
一种企业就绪的解决方案
Make operates across multiple server zones and has a proven ability to scale effectively. This infrastructure advantage allows customers to deploy business-critical automations with confidence meaning Make is a strong choice when it comes to Enterprise-grade reliability and scaling.
Make 可在多个服务器区域运行，并具有经过验证的有效扩展能力。这种基础设施优势使客户能够充满信心地部署业务关键型自动化，这意味着在企业级可靠性和扩展方面，Make 是一个强大的选择。
Other Enterprise benefits include built-in GDPR, SOC2 Type 1 compliance and security, data encryption, company-wide single sign-on (SSO), and premium 24/7 customer support. These are just some of the reasons why Make is trusted by thousands of fast-scaling organizations around the globe.
其他企业优势包括内置的 GDPR、SOC2 Type 1 合规性和安全性、数据加密、公司范围的单点登录(SSO)以及优质的 24/7 客户支持。这些只是 Make 受到全球数千家快速扩张的组织信任的部分原因。
In contrast, n8n users commonly report local deployment and maintenance issues when updating their n8n instance – along with node maintenance and reliability concerns. Taken as a whole, this makes the platform less attractive as an Enterprise option.
相比之下，n8n 用户通常报告在更新其 n8n 实例时出现本地部署和维护问题，以及节点维护和可靠性问题。总而言之，这使得该平台作为企业选择的吸引力降低。
An out-of-the-box solution
开箱即用的解决方案
A core benefit of Make is its almost immediate usability. While n8n appeals to technically skilled users with DevOps experience, not all automation needs to be customized. With Make it’s the blend of pre-built solutions and customization that gives you the flexibility to invest scarce development resources only where needed.
Make 的一个核心优势在于其几乎立即可用性。虽然 n8n 吸引了具有 DevOps 经验的熟练技术用户，但并非所有自动化都需要定制。Make 将预构建的解决方案和定制相结合，使您可以灵活地仅在需要的地方投入稀缺的开发资源。
If one of the key benefits of no-code solutions is to get you up and running with less complexity, Make is undoubtedly the better option. Make presents itself as a more polished, business-ready solution – while n8n may be attractive if you have a lot of time on your hands, strong technical expertise, and a desire to code.
如果无代码解决方案的主要优势之一是以较低的复杂性启动并运行，那么 Make 无疑是更好的选择。Make 呈现出更完善、更适合业务的解决方案 – 如果您有大量时间、强大的技术专业知识和编码的愿望，那么 n8n 可能会很有吸引力。
Superior integration ecosystem
出色的集成生态系统
Make customers consistently reference the extensive integration library as a key differentiator. While n8n relies heavily on HTTP requests for connectivity, Make provides native integrations that are easier to implement and maintain.
使客户始终将广泛的集成库作为关键的差异化因素。虽然 n8n 在连接方面严重依赖 HTTP 请求，但 Make 提供了更易于实施和维护的本机集成。
Indeed, with over 2,400 pre-built apps, Make gives customers the power to respond quickly to new market demands. Beyond this of course Make also offers the flexibility of connecting to anything with an API.
事实上，Make 拥有超过 2,400 个预构建的应用程序，使客户能够快速响应新的市场需求。当然，除此之外，Make 还提供通过 API 连接到任何事物的灵活性。
Pricing models
定价模式
Different platforms offer different pricing models. Some can be more attractive than others. But some can have hidden costs. So let’s dig into this a little more.
不同的平台提供不同的定价模式。有些可能比其他的更有吸引力。但有些可能存在隐藏成本。所以让我们更深入地探讨一下。
As an example, n8n offers self hosting at no cost, which is great if you have the skills and infrastructure to support that. However not everyone does or indeed wants that. What’s more, in the absence of these skills, the costs of maintenance can make what seems initially like a good option suddenly become a very expensive option.
举例来说，n8n 提供免费的自托管服务，如果您具备相关的技能和基础设施来支持它，这当然很好。然而，并非每个人都具备或想要这些条件。更重要的是，在缺乏这些技能的情况下，维护成本可能会使最初看起来不错的选择突然变得非常昂贵。
n8n also charges per complete workflow execution, while Make charges per individual operation within a workflow. Depending on the type of process you are automating, one will likely be more cost effective than the other.
n8n 还按完整的 workflow 执行收费，而 Make 则按 workflow 中的每个单独操作收费。根据您要自动化的流程类型，其中一种可能更具成本效益。
For example, processes that don’t run very often – but have many data executions – will likely be cheaper with n8n (eg processes related to tax filing). Meanwhile, processes that run often – but don’t have a high volume of data action – will likely be cheaper with Make (eg processes related to updating data files like CRM data or support ticket status).
例如，不经常运行但有大量数据执行的流程，使用 n8n 可能会更便宜（例如与税务申报相关的流程）。同时，经常运行但数据操作量不大的流程，使用 Make 可能会更便宜（例如与更新 CRM 数据或支持工单状态等数据文件相关的流程）。
Making the choice
做出选择
Competition in the automation industry is always welcome as it keeps the landscape fresh and vibrant. Both Make and n8n have strengths, but overall Make emerges as the more rounded, robust, professional and business-ready solution. For organizations looking to implement cloud SaaS automation at scale with easier-to-use capabilities, Make is the clear choice.
自动化行业的竞争总是受欢迎的，因为它能保持行业的新鲜和活力。Make 和 n8n 各有优势，但总体而言，Make 是更全面、更强大、更专业且更适合商业需求的解决方案。对于希望大规模实施云 SaaS 自动化并具有更易于使用的功能的企业来说，Make 是明确的选择。
