Make is a popular visual automation platform — strong for connecting apps, lighter as an AI platform. Here’s an honest comparison with osFoundry for 2026. (dgm implements osFoundry as an independent partner; we’ll be fair to both.)
At a glance
| Make | osFoundry | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Visual no-code automation (iPaaS) | AI orchestration & consolidation |
| Strength | Visual workflow automation | AI platform depth + consolidation |
| Models | Make AI or your own key | Model-agnostic, bring-your-own-key |
| Pricing | Credit-based, low entry | Usage-priced, no per-seat fees |
| Hosting | Cloud-only | Self-host or US/EU/JP |
As of 2026 — confirm with each vendor.
What each is
Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual no-code automation/iPaaS platform — 3,000+ connectors and AI Agents (beta) — focused on building automated workflows visually. Model-flexible (Make AI or your own key), cloud-only.
osFoundry is an AI orchestration and consolidation platform with a deeper model layer, usage-priced and self-hostable.
The key difference: visual automation vs AI-platform depth
Both automate and are model-flexible. Make excels at affordable visual workflow automation; osFoundry is a deeper AI platform that consolidates tooling. If your need is visual automation, Make; if it’s an AI-centric platform, osFoundry.
Data control
Make is cloud-only (can’t self-host). osFoundry self-hosts in your own UK/EU cloud or uses its EU region (US/EU/JP, no UK region) — the more direct route for strict data control or UK residency.
Pricing
Make is credit-based with low entry tiers (Free / Core ~$9 / Pro ~$16) — affordable for simple automation. osFoundry is usage-priced, no per-seat fees, suited to AI-centric use. Model both.
Who each is best for
- Make — affordable, visual workflow automation across many apps.
- osFoundry — an AI-centric platform that consolidates tooling with data control.
Complementary: Make for visual automation, osFoundry for AI orchestration. (See also our n8n and Zapier comparisons.)
