What makes Relay.app great

Transparent per-user pricing

We want you and your team to automate as much of your work as possible, and not need to come up with clever workarounds to reduce the number of tasks in a workflow. Unlike Make's pricing, which can shoot up based on usage, Relay's simple per-user pricing lets you scale your workflows without surprise bills. It's all about making things easier and more predictable for you and your team. Learn more at relay.app/pricing.

Capture more of your workflow with human-in-the-loop actions

Capture more of your workflow with human-in-the-loop actions

Sometimes you can’t beat a human touch. Whether it's giving the green light, making an automated email feel personal, or reviewing what AI has generated, Relay makes it easy to add those human steps right where they're needed. This stands out from Make, which is optimized for fully automated flows, making it tricky to seamlessly add human input where you need it.

Built for team collaboration

Relay is designed for collaboration. It offers collaborative playbook editing and dynamic task assignments that make sure work get assigned to the right people in every run, making workflows more transparent and team-inclusive. This contrasts with Make's scenario approach, which isn’t as optimized for multiplayer team workflows.
