A Make.com (Integromat) alternative for serious automation
Make.com (formerly Integromat) is great for the first few scenarios. Then complex branching, retries and per-operation pricing turn it into a maintenance burden. Zeroflowers builds custom workflow automation that takes over the workload, scales without the tax, and never breaks silently.
When Make.com starts hurting
- Per-operation pricing means high-volume workflows cost £hundreds a month.
- Complex scenarios are hard to read, harder to debug and impossible to test.
- Errors are surfaced in Make.com's UI but not piped to Slack or your monitoring.
- You can't version, code-review or roll back changes to a scenario.
- Critical workflows live inside a SaaS account a single user owns.
What we build instead
- Self-hosted n8n, Temporal or pure-code workflows tailored to the use case.
- Real version control, code review and rollback for every workflow change.
- Structured logs, metrics and alerts so failures are caught in minutes, not days.
- Cost: flat infrastructure spend, no per-op fees as you scale.
- Knowledge transfer so the system is owned and operated by your team.
Common questions
When should I switch off Make.com?
+
Usually when monthly Make.com spend crosses £100, when scenarios become business-critical, or when you need real observability and audit logs.
What do you migrate to?
+
Self-hosted n8n is the most common landing place. For high-reliability orchestration we use Temporal. For event-driven serverless we use AWS Step Functions or Cloudflare Workers + queues.
How long does the migration take?
+
10-20 scenarios with proper observability and tests typically ships in 2-4 weeks.
Will you keep maintaining the workflows after?
+
Yes - we offer optional operate retainers for clients who don't want to maintain workflow infrastructure in-house.
