The Make vs n8n Question Is Wrong. Ask This Instead.
Every Make.com vs n8n video asks the wrong question. The real question isn't which is easier — it's which platform survives contact with a real client workflow at 10x volume. I've shipped production agents on both. Here's the actual decision matrix I use before quoting any client, including the ops-per-day threshold where Make.com's pricing breaks and the client-ownership question nobody talks about.
In this breakdown:
Why the no-code vs code framing is a lie
The ops-volume math: when Make.com wins, when n8n wins
Client ownership: who controls the infrastructure when you're gone
Trigger reliability differences between platforms
A real Gmail triage workflow: prototyped in Make, migrated to n8n at 100K ops/month
