Is Make cheaper than Zapier?

Make generally offers more operations per dollar, though it has a steeper learning curve.

What does the Make free plan give you?

A monthly operations allowance, which is a different unit from Zapier's tasks and the single most important thing to understand before comparing the two on price. Build the same scenario on both free tiers and count what each one consumes; that number, not the headline plan, is what you will actually be billed on.

Is Make harder to learn than it needs to be?

It is harder than Zapier and says so, naming wanting the simplest possible setup as a reason to look elsewhere and listing being steeper than Zapier among its drawbacks. What the extra difficulty buys is control over the data as it moves. If your scenarios are simple, you are paying that cost for nothing.

Why does Make score 4.5 out of 5 here?

The score is computed, not assigned: 32 of 35 for documented capabilities, 22 of 25 for published pricing, 20 of 20 for free access and 15 of 20 for the integration list. It loses capability points for not publishing a mobile app. The number measures how much you can verify before paying, not how good the tool is to use.
