Why Build with Xano?

Comprehensive backend

Xano is an all-in-one backend tool, while Make is meant for automations. Xano includes a database, server, and API builder, enabling you to build a scalable backend for your app. Make does not include a database, server, or API builder, so it cannot be used to build a complete backend. Instead, it just helps you connect existing apps together to complete routine tasks.

Scalability

Xano is better built for scalability. As your app grows, you will likely need features like dedicated resources, indexes, no record limits, load balancing, auto-scale, and more. Make does not offer these features, making it more difficult to scale your app.

Benefits

ScalabilityApi builderFlexible database

Xano enables you to build and deploy behind-the-scenes logic and 3rd party connections for an app efficiently. If you're building a new app requiring a certain degree of complexity and data transformations, Xano is the best platform to choose.

Make

Limitations

No dedicated server Only automations Reliant on pre-built apps

You can think of Make as a switchboard connecting different apps and services together in order to complete routine tasks. In this way, Make helps you to improve and automate your operational processes.

Xano vs. Make

While both tools make things more efficient, Make links existing apps together, while Xano helps you build new ones.
