  • Easier to use than Make

  • More limited in complexity versus Make

What you can build

Umso use-cases

  • Simple, beautiful websites without full control over design
  • Landing pages

Zapier use-cases

  • Automations that connect different apps together

What you can't build

What you can't build with Umso

  • A simple website with full control over design (check out Carrd)
  • Websites with a CMS that dynamically creates pages (check out Webflow)
  • Multi-page websites (check out Webflow or Squarespace)
  • Web apps with complex logic (check out Glide or Bubble)

What you can't build with Zapier

  • May not be able to connect to the tool you need (though Zapier has more connections than Make)

Overall Recommendation

Umso recommendation

Umso is great for building a good-looking site quickly, even if you have no design sense. It's perfect for creating a landing page or simple website for your business.

Another great options for this use-case is Carrd, but Carrd has a higher learning curve and requires more design talent to make your site look good.

Tools like Webflow and Squarespace can also be used, but I wouldn't recommend them for very simple sites in most cases.

Zapier recommendation

Since Zapier and Make are so similar, all the recommendations from Make's section apply here!

In general, Zapier is easier to use and has more integrations, but is more expensive.

Make is more powerful, has less integrations and is less expensive.

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.
