Certified Ksaar Agency

Why SMEs switch from Make to a custom no-code solution

Many SMEs start with Make but quickly face limitations: rigid templates, unpredictable subscription costs, and a lack of tailored features. A custom no-code solution built on Ksaar gives you full control over your workflows, data ownership, and scalability without vendor lock-in. Tech my PME helps international SMEs design and deploy bespoke automation that adapts to your exact processes, not the other way around.

What we do for your business

3 advantages of Ksaar over Make for SMEs

⚙️

Workflows built around your business logic

Unlike Make's pre-built modules, Ksaar lets us create flows that mirror your exact operations, sales stages, and approval chains.

🔄

One-time investment, no monthly seat fees

Pay once for development and hosting, then enjoy predictable costs with no per-user licence or operation limits.

📊

Full data ownership and API freedom

Your data stays in your infrastructure. Integrate any API or legacy system without waiting for Make to support it.

Why choose us

Why custom no-code outperforms SaaS automation for growing SMEs

01

Escape unpredictable subscription costs

Make charges per operation and per active scenario. As your business scales, monthly bills can double or triple. A typical SME running 50,000 operations per month pays around €300–500 on Make's Team plan. With a custom Ksaar solution, you pay a fixed development fee upfront and minimal hosting costs thereafter—often under €100 per month—regardless of how many workflows you execute. Over 24 months, the total cost of ownership is frequently 40–60 percent lower than SaaS subscriptions.

02

Adapt workflows without platform constraints

Make's modules are pre-configured; customising advanced logic requires workarounds or third-party webhooks. On Ksaar, every button, form field, and trigger is yours to design. Need a three-stage approval for purchase orders above €5,000, with automatic currency conversion and supplier notifications? We build it exactly as you need. One manufacturing client reduced approval bottlenecks by 70 percent simply by tailoring escalation rules that Make's standard modules could not handle. You gain agility without waiting for feature requests or marketplace add-ons.

03

Maintain compliance and data sovereignty

For SMEs in regulated sectors—finance, healthcare, legal—sending data through a U.S.-based SaaS raises GDPR and audit concerns. A custom Ksaar application runs on your chosen European cloud or on-premise servers, so you control where data resides, who accesses it, and how long it is retained. Audit trails are native, not bolted on. One accounting firm migrated from Make to Ksaar to meet ISO 27001 requirements and reduced third-party risk by hosting client workflows entirely within their infrastructure. Full ownership means full compliance confidence.

Common questions about migrating from Make

How long does it take to migrate existing Make scenarios to Ksaar?+

Most SME migrations take four to eight weeks. We begin with a two-hour discovery workshop to map your current Make scenarios, identify pain points, and prioritise workflows. During weeks one to three, we rebuild core automations on Ksaar, often adding custom logic that was impossible in Make. Week four is reserved for user acceptance testing and training. Parallel running—where both Make and Ksaar operate side by side—typically lasts one to two weeks, so you switch over with zero downtime.

What is the cost comparison between Make and a custom Ksaar solution?+

A custom Ksaar build for an SME with ten to fifteen workflows costs between €8,000 and €15,000 upfront, plus €50–150 per month for hosting and maintenance. By contrast, Make's Team plan starts at €29 per user per month, and operation bundles add another €200–400 monthly at scale. Over two years, Make totals €10,000–20,000 in subscriptions alone, with no assets you own. Ksaar delivers a bespoke platform you control, often breaking even within twelve to eighteen months and delivering ongoing savings thereafter.

Can I keep some workflows on Make while testing Ksaar?+

Absolutely. We recommend a phased approach: migrate your most critical or cost-intensive scenarios first, leaving simpler automations on Make during the transition. Ksaar can call Make webhooks if needed, so hybrid operation is seamless. Once you confirm the custom solution meets your needs and team adoption is smooth, we migrate the remaining workflows. This staged rollout reduces risk and lets your team build confidence in the new platform step by step.
