Make to n8n Migration: Own Your Automation and Cut Monthly Costs by Up to 80%
We migrate your Make.com account to self-hosted n8n. Every scenario is audited, rebuilt with cleaner logic, tested in parallel, and documented before Make is decommissioned. You keep the automation. You lose the monthly bill and the vendor dependency.
Whether you ran Make as Integromat or switched during the rebrand, every scenario type migrates. Fixed pricing. Zero downtime. Full documentation on handoff.
Make.com charges per operation. n8n charges per execution.
A 10-step scenario costs 10 operations on Make. One execution on n8n.
Migrate once. Stop paying per step forever.
Make.com Works Until
the Monthly Bill Stops Making Sense
Make.com is well-designed and genuinely powerful. But its operation-based pricing model creates a predictable problem. As your automations become more valuable, they become more complex. As they become more complex, they consume more operations. As they consume more operations, your bill grows. The more you rely on Make, the more you pay for that reliance every month.
Operation-Based Pricing Punishes Complexity
Visitors browse, scroll, maybe click around—then leave. No inquiries. No calls. No sales. Your website is a digital brochure, not a lead generation machine.
Your Monthly Bill Grows With Your Business
As you automate more processes and your existing scenarios run more frequently, Make.com costs increase automatically. There is no ceiling. The platform rewards usage with higher invoices rather than lower unit costs.
You Do Not Own the Platform Your Business Depends On
Your scenarios, credentials, and execution history live on Make.com servers. Pricing changes, feature removals, or platform outages are entirely outside your control. Every business-critical automation depends on a third party staying affordable and available.
Logic Gets Constrained by Module Limitations
Make.com’s module-based interface is intuitive but limits how complex logic gets expressed. Advanced branching, nested conditions, retry architectures, and database interactions that n8n handles natively require workarounds in Make that add more operations and more cost.
Migration Feels Risky So the Bill Just Keeps Running
You know the economics favour moving. But the thought of recreating every scenario, testing every edge case, and managing a cutover without disruption keeps you paying a bill you resent. The risk of migration feels higher than the cost of staying. It is not.
Your Team Cannot Debug Failures Quickly
When a Make scenario fails, diagnosing the issue in a visual module interface takes longer than it should. n8n’s execution log gives clearer visibility into exactly where a workflow broke, what data caused the failure, and how to fix it without rebuilding the scenario.
💡 You have outgrown the economics of Make.com, not the need for automation. A Make to n8n migration gives you the same workflows, better visibility, lower ongoing cost, and full ownership of the infrastructure your business depends on.
We Handle the Entire Make to n8n Migration
So Nothing Breaks and Nothing Gets Left Behind
Since 2014
50+ Countries Served
700+ Projects Delivered
Full Scenario Audit First
Parallel Testing Always
30-Day Support Included
Full Scenario Audit Before Anything Moves
We review every active and inactive Make scenario, document what each one does, identify any that use modules without direct n8n equivalents, and build a migration plan with clear effort estimates before a single workflow is rebuilt.
We Rebuild With Improved Logic, Not a Direct Copy
Make workarounds do not carry over to n8n. We rebuild each scenario using n8n’s native capabilities so the logic is cleaner, error handling is proper, and the workflow does more with fewer steps than the original Make version did.
Parallel Testing Before Decommissioning Make
Every rebuilt workflow runs alongside the original Make scenario using real data until accuracy, timing, and error handling are fully validated. Make stays active until we are confident the n8n version is ready to take over completely.
Self-Hosted n8n Setup Included Where Needed
If you do not already have a self-hosted n8n environment, we install and configure one on your VPS with Docker, Postgres, Cloudflare tunnel, and SSL as part of the migration engagement. Your infrastructure is ready before the first scenario migrates.
What Businesses Gain
After Moving From Make.com to n8n
Monthly Cost Reduction
“Businesses running complex multi-step Make scenarios reduce monthly automation costs by 60 to 80 percent after migrating to self-hosted n8n. Execution-based pricing drives most of the saving.” — Migration Cost Analysis
Scenario Consolidation
“Most Make accounts we audit contain overlapping scenarios and workaround logic built around module limits. After rebuilding in n8n, the same processes run with fewer, cleaner workflows.” — Scenario Audit Finding
Full Infrastructure Ownership
“After migration, every workflow, credential, execution log, and data connection belongs to the client. No vendor dependency, no operation quota, no surprise pricing changes.” — Self-Hosted n8n Client

Make to n8n Migration
Investment Guide.
Every Make to n8n migration is priced after the audit because scenario complexity varies significantly between accounts.
Migration cost depends on how many Make scenarios you have, how complex the logic is, whether any modules have no direct n8n equivalent, and whether you need a self-hosted n8n environment built as part of the engagement. Every project is scoped after the audit so pricing reflects your actual account.

Set Up Your n8n Environment
If you do not already have self-hosted n8n running, we install it on your VPS with Docker, Postgres, Cloudflare tunnel, SSL, and separate subdomain routing for admin and webhooks. The environment is production-ready before the first scenario migrates.
Rebuild and Improve Every Scenario
Each Make scenario is rebuilt in n8n with cleaner logic, proper error handling, and reduced complexity. We do not copy Make’s module chains into n8n. We rebuild using n8n’s native capabilities so the result is better than the original, not just equivalent.
Test in Parallel With Real Data
Rebuilt n8n workflows run alongside the original Make scenarios with live operational data. We compare outputs, validate timing, and test edge cases before recommending the switch. Make stays fully active during this phase.
Go Live and Decommission Make
Once parallel testing confirms full accuracy, we deactivate Make scenarios, help you cancel or downgrade your Make plan, and monitor the n8n system for 30 days to catch anything that surfaces under live conditions.

We were comparing Make, Zapier, and custom solutions before deciding on n8n. BK recommended self-hosted n8n because it gave us more control and lower long-term cost. They handled the setup, scenario rebuild, and testing properly. The system has been stable since day one.

Our Make bill was growing every month because our scenarios were getting more complex. The migration to n8n cut that cost significantly. What surprised us was how much cleaner the rebuilt workflows were. BK improved the logic rather than just copying what we had.

How much does a Make to n8n migration cost?
Small accounts with up to 5 active scenarios start from $800. Accounts with 10 to 25 scenarios typically fall between $2,200 and $4,500. Larger accounts with 25 or more scenarios, complex branching, and multi-system connections start from $4,500. Every project is scoped after the audit so pricing reflects your actual account rather than an estimate.
Will I lose any scenarios during the migration?
No. Every rebuilt n8n workflow runs in parallel with the original Make scenario using real data before anything is decommissioned. Make stays fully active throughout the testing phase. We only recommend switching off Make scenarios after parallel testing confirms the n8n versions produce identical outputs under real operational conditions.
This parallel testing approach is standard in every Make to n8n migration we deliver.
What if Make uses a module that n8n does not support natively?
Make connects to over 1,000 apps through dedicated modules. n8n has 500 or more native nodes. For any app without a direct n8n node, we assess whether an HTTP request node, webhook, or API connection provides a reliable alternative during the audit phase. Any gaps are flagged before migration begins so you know exactly what the new system will look like before approving the build.
We flag these gaps during the audit phase of every Make to n8n migration before any rebuild begins.
How long does the Make to n8n migration take?
Small accounts with up to 5 scenarios typically complete in 3 to 5 days. Accounts with 10 to 25 scenarios take 1 to 2 weeks. Larger accounts with 25 or more scenarios and complex logic take 2 to 4 weeks. The parallel testing phase adds time to every project but is non-negotiable because it is what prevents live disruption during cutover.
Timeline for your Make to n8n migration is confirmed during the free audit based on your actual scenario count.
Is Make.com or n8n better for automation?
Make.com is better for teams that want a visual scenario builder without managing infrastructure. n8n is better for businesses that want to own their automation platform, avoid per-operation pricing at scale, and build more complex logic without module limitations. The right choice depends on your technical comfort, budget trajectory, and how critical your automation has become to daily operations. We provide an honest assessment during the audit rather than recommending migration for every Make user.
The audit tells you specifically whether a Make to n8n migration makes financial sense for your account before you commit.
Do I need a server to run self-hosted n8n?
Yes. Self-hosted n8n requires a VPS. Basic setups run on servers costing $5 to $15 per month from providers like Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or Vultr. We configure the full environment as part of the migration engagement including Docker, Postgres, Cloudflare tunnel, and SSL. The monthly server cost is typically far less than the Make operations your scenarios currently consume.
Server setup is included in every Make to n8n migration that requires a new n8n environment.
Can I migrate from Integromat to n8n?
Yes. Integromat was rebranded to Make.com in 2022. If your account originated as Integromat and you are still running scenarios built during that era, the migration process is identical. We audit every scenario regardless of when it was built and rebuild in n8n using current best practices. Older Integromat scenario structures sometimes benefit most from the logic improvements we apply during the rebuild.
Every Integromat to n8n migration follows the same audit, rebuild, and parallel testing process as a current Make account.
What happens after the migration is complete?
For 30 days after go-live we monitor your n8n workflows, fix anything that surfaces under real usage, and answer questions about the new system. After that, most clients manage their n8n instance independently using the documentation we provide. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance plans are available from $99 per month for businesses that want continued support beyond the initial period.
Most clients plan their first new workflow build within 30 days of completing the Make to n8n migration.
Why Businesses Migrate From Make.com to n8n
Businesses complete a Make to n8n migration when the economics of operation-based pricing stop making sense relative to what self-hosted automation costs. Make.com charges per operation inside every scenario.
A workflow with 12 steps runs 12 operations per execution. n8n charges per execution regardless of how many steps the workflow contains. For businesses running complex scenarios at high frequency, this pricing difference compounds into hundreds of dollars per month.
The migration decision is usually triggered by one of three events. A Make.com plan upgrade that feels disproportionate to the value added. A growing automation stack that keeps consuming operations faster than expected. Or a deliberate strategic choice to own business infrastructure rather than rent it indefinitely. All three lead to the same conclusion. The cost of self-hosted n8n infrastructure is fixed and predictable. The cost of Make.com scales with every new automation and every increase in execution frequency.
Businesses that replace Make.com with n8n consistently report that the migration investment returns within 3 to 4 months from monthly savings alone.
Beyond cost, the migrate Make to n8n decision often reflects a maturity shift in how a business thinks about automation. Early automation adopters start with visual no-code tools because the entry barrier is low. As automation becomes more critical and more complex, the limitations of module-based interfaces and SaaS pricing models become visible. n8n gives businesses the flexibility to build what they actually need rather than approximating it within what the platform supports natively. Businesses running both Zapier and Make often consolidate everything to n8n through a combined migration. Our Zapier to n8n migration service covers the Zapier side of that process.
What a Make to n8n Migration Service Should Cover
A serious Make to n8n migration service starts with a complete account audit, not an immediate rebuild. The audit identifies which scenarios migrate directly, which need a different technical approach, and which have become redundant and can be retired during the process. Retiring redundant scenarios during migration is one of the most common sources of additional cost savings that clients do not anticipate before the project begins.
The rebuild phase should improve the logic, not copy it. Make.com scenarios often contain workarounds built around module limitations. A router module used to approximate branching that n8n handles natively. Multiple scenarios chained together to achieve something n8n does in a single workflow. These patterns should not carry over to n8n. The migration is an opportunity to build the automation correctly rather than replicate the constraints of the previous platform. If your server environment needs configuring before migration begins, our n8n self-hosted setup handles the full infrastructure preparation.
Parallel testing is non-negotiable in any responsible migration. Running rebuilt n8n workflows alongside active Make scenarios using live data is the only reliable way to validate that the new system produces identical outcomes before the old one is switched off. Any provider that skips parallel testing is optimising for delivery speed at the expense of your operational continuity.
A Make.com migration service that skips parallel testing is optimising for speed at the expense of your operational continuity. The Make.com alternative they are building you might work in demos and fail under real conditions. For a view of what finished n8n workflows look like across common business use cases, see real n8n workflow examples from our builds.
Comparing Make.com vs n8n for Your Business
The Make.com vs n8n comparison comes down to four factors: pricing model, hosting model, logic flexibility, and long-term control. Make.com wins on ease of onboarding and the breadth of its native module library. n8n wins on pricing at scale, logic flexibility for complex workflows, data ownership, and long-term cost predictability. For businesses ready to build new workflows after migration, our n8n automation services covers the full build, support, and documentation lifecycle. For a detailed breakdown of all three platforms across pricing, features, and use cases, see our full comparison of n8n vs Zapier vs Make.
For businesses just starting with automation and running fewer than 5 simple scenarios at low frequency, Make.com remains a reasonable choice. The visual builder reduces the learning curve and the per-operation cost is manageable at low volume.
For businesses that have moved past that threshold and are now running 10 or more complex scenarios regularly, The decision to replace Make.com with n8n is rarely about capability — it is about cost control and infrastructure ownership. the cheaper alternative to Make.com that offers equivalent capability is self-hosted n8n. The crossover point is different for every account which is why we calculate it specifically during the free audit rather than making a generalised claim.
The Integromat to n8n migration path follows the same logic for businesses that built their automation stack before the Make.com rebrand. Scenario structures built in Integromat often contain patterns that benefit most from a rebuild using n8n's current architecture and native AI capabilities that did not exist when those workflows were first created.
