Make's biggest competitor is Zapier, and vice-versa. Both are great tools, and I use both depending on the use-case.
I find Zapier easier to use, so for simple automations I tend to use Zapier.
Zapier also has more integrations, so I'll use Zapier if the app I'm looking for isn't integrated with Make.
In general, Make is more powerful and less expensive, so I recommend people start with Zapier, and move over to Make when they are ready for something more powerful but with a higher learning curve.
Softr is best for building powerful internal tools and client portals incredibly fast, without needing any coding skills. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a solution that doesn’t require high-level design flexibility but offers ease of use, affordability, and the ability to build apps for both internal and external use.
If you want more control over the design and more complexity, I'd recommend Webflow connected to Memberstack for a membership site, but that also comes with a higher learning curve.
If you're looking to build a web app with more complex logic I'd recommend checking out Bubble or Glide.
