Zapier vs Make… what’s been your experience?
I’ve been building out more automations around Jobber lately and ran into something interesting. A lot of setups I see are using Zapier, but once workflows get more complex, the cost starts climbing ...

We started with Zapier, but once our workflows got more complex it became harder to manage. We ended up hiring a company to build and maintain some custom automations and API integrations for us.
This is a really common path — Zapier works until it doesn't, then the complexity forces a decision between learning a new platform or bringing someone in.
The native Zapier connector covers the basics, but there's other options out there that extend this — including events and custom field data the native connector doesn't make available. A lot of businesses find it handles the complex workflows without needing custom development.
What kind of automations were you trying to build when things got complicated?
