Common Mistakes
Picking based on task-count pricing alone.
Compare Zapier's task-based pricing against Make's operation-based pricing using your own actual monthly volume, not the sticker price, since the cheaper-looking plan can cost more once your real usage is priced in.
Assuming both tools' free plans work the same way.
Check each tool's specific free-plan caps (task count, scenario count, update frequency) against what you actually need before committing to build automations in either one.
Rebuilding every automation from scratch when switching tools.
Export or document your existing automation logic first, most core triggers and actions map directly between the two platforms.
