Which should you pick?

Zapier has the largest integration catalogue by a wide margin, over 10,000 apps against roughly 3,000 for Make, 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, though it now meters in credits rather than operations. Magical is a different kind of tool, a text expander and autofill layer rather than a workflow engine, and the company behind it has moved on to enterprise healthcare agents: the browser extension is still maintained and still free to use, but there is no longer public pricing for the rest. For anything multi-step, this is really Zapier against Make.
