Comparison - Visual automation platform

Winy vs Make

Make draws automations as flows that run on their own; Winy is a canvas where you think and work alongside live agents.

Make, from Celonis, is a visual automation platform where you build, test and run workflows across 3,000+ apps, with Make AI Agents that reason and act inside those flows and a Reasoning panel that shows each step.

Winy is a native infinite-canvas notebook for Mac, iPad and iPhone, where real agent sessions such as Claude Code and Codex sit on the board as live cards next to your notes, ink and images.

Both are visual, but Make's canvas is a diagram of an automation that runs without you, and Winy's canvas is a workspace where you and your agents work together in real time.

Which one is for you

Choose Make if

You want a process to run on its own, with branching logic you can see as a flow.
You need to move data between thousands of apps without writing code.
You want AI agents inside automations, with rules, manual approvals and a visible record of each decision.

Choose Winy if

The work needs your judgment as it goes, and you want to watch and steer agents rather than design a flow up front.
You think with notes, sketches and a Pencil, and want that thinking on the same board as the agents and visible to them.
You run Claude Code or Codex and want every session at a glance on one canvas, on your Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Using both

Make handles the steps that repeat; Winy is where you work things out with agents. Winy runs any CLI agent, and that agent can use whatever tools it is configured with, so an agent on a Winy board connected to Make's MCP Server can call your Make scenarios as tools.

Questions

Make.com vs Winy: which do I need?

If you want a process to run by itself across your apps, Make. If you want a place to think and build with coding agents in real time, Winy. Winy has no triggers, schedules or app connectors.

Is Winy a Make alternative?

Not for automation. Both use a visual canvas, but Make's canvas defines a workflow that runs unattended, while Winy's holds your notes and live agent sessions that you steer.

Can Claude Code use Make?

Make's MCP Server exposes your scenarios as tools that any MCP-compatible agent can call. A Claude Code session on a Winy board can use it the same way it would in a terminal, if you configure it.

Is Make free?

Make has a free plan with 1,000 credits a month. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) are priced by the credits you need, and most actions use one credit.
