Engine by engine
Zapier vs Make: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend workflow automation, Zapier is recommended more often than Make — scoring 82/100 for AI visibility versus 78/100. Zapier shows up in 90% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Make shows up in 100%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Make is clearly favoured: Zapier is recommended 80% of the time and Make 100%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What are the best workflow automation tools for small businesses?” is more likely to put Zapier on its shortlist. Both are in the running, but the more consistently a brand is described the same way across the web, the more confidently the models name it.
