Which should you pick?

Zapier has the largest integration catalogue by a wide margin, and that is usually the deciding factor. Make is more powerful per automation, with real branching and a visual canvas, and tends to be cheaper at volume. Magical is a different kind of tool, a text expander and autofill layer rather than a workflow engine, so include it only if what you actually need is faster repetitive typing. For anything multi-step, this is really Zapier against Make.
