Switching Cost
Make's lock-in is the visual scenario builder and data mapping. Your automation logic translates conceptually to any workflow tool, but Make's visual design and nested data mapping are unique. Scenarios don't export in a format other tools can import. Teams with simple automations can rebuild in a few days. Teams with complex multi-branch scenarios, error handling routes, and data store dependencies should budget 1-2 weeks. The hidden cost is the learning curve: Make's visual approach lets non-developers build complex automations, and switching to a code-based tool may require developer involvement for workflows that business users maintained themselves.

Building Blocks
Make (formerly Integromat) is a platform. It bundles multiple capabilities into one subscription. These tools each cover one piece. Teams often assemble 2–3 of them instead of paying for the full suite.
