Quick Answer
Make.com (formerly Integromat) charges by "operations" — every module run in every scenario counts. Requex.me runs webhook-triggered workflows free with no per-operation billing, code-level conditional routing, and persistent run logs.
Make.com Alternative — Free Webhook Workflows
Make.com's visual canvas is powerful for non-technical users but its operations-based pricing punishes high-volume webhook routing. Requex.me handles the same flows free with developer-grade tooling.
How Make.com's Pricing Bites
Make.com bills by "operations." Each module execution — every webhook trigger, every router branch, every HTTP call — is an operation. A simple "receive webhook, branch on amount, POST to two endpoints" scenario uses 4 operations per trigger. At 10,000 triggers per month that's 40,000 ops — well past the 1,000 free operations and into mid-tier paid territory.
Requex doesn't meter steps. A workflow with 5 destinations costs the same as one with 1: zero.
Feature Comparison: Requex.me vs Make.com
| Feature | Requex.me | Make.com (Free) |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly operations | Unlimited | 1,000 ops |
| Active scenarios | Unlimited | 2 active |
| Branching (Router) | Built-in conditions | Counts as operation |
| HTTP fanout | Single workflow, multi-destination | N modules = N ops |
| Webhook trigger latency | < 1 second | Polling delay on free |
| Run logs | Persistent + JSON | Limited retention |
| AI nodes (Classify, Text) | Included free | Counts as ops + BYO key |
| Webhook HMAC verify | First-class node | Custom function |
| Visual canvas | Yes — workflow editor | Yes — strongest in market |
The Requex workflow builder — 30+ nodes, AI included
Requex ships a visual canvas with HTTP Resilient, Try/Catch, Rate Limit, Iterator, jq Transform, AI Classify, AI Text, Webhook Verify, Dedup, Replay, Slack, Discord, Email, Google Sheets, and Shopify nodes. None of them count as billable operations — workflows run free during beta.
When Make Wins (And When It Doesn't)
Make.com still wins for non-developers automating tasks across SaaS apps where you need a deep library of pre-built modules (Google Drive uploads, Airtable updates, Salesforce records). Its visual canvas is exceptional for that audience.
It loses for developers running high-volume webhook routing, who don't need a SaaS module library because they can just call APIs themselves. That's where Requex's flat-rate model wins by a wide margin.
Migrating From Make.com (3 Steps)
- Repoint the trigger — replace the Make webhook URL in your source service (Stripe / GitHub / etc.) with a Requex webhook URL.
- Re-create routing — Requex workflows use JSON-path conditions instead of Make's Router.
body.event == "payment.succeeded"replaces a router filter. - Configure destinations — add the HTTP endpoints your old scenario was calling. Save and watch the next real event flow through.
