Friday Studio builds scheduled, multi-agent workflows from chat and runs them locally, which is also where its limits come from. It supports only macOS for now, so Windows and Linux users and mixed teams are left out. You must add your own model API key, so model usage is billed separately by your provider. And no pricing page was found, which leaves the cost of the tool itself unknown.
n8n is the nearest match for technical users: a workflow automation platform for building AI agents and integrations, cloud-hosted or self-hosted, with a free option; its starting price is not stated in our data. Zapier is the hosted, no-code route, connecting 9,000+ apps through Zaps. Its Professional plan starts at $19.99 per month for 750 tasks, with a free tier. Make is a visual builder with a Core plan at $9 per month for 10k credits and a free tier too. All three run in the cloud rather than on a Mac, which matters if the local-only setup was your reason to leave.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
Taken from the documented limitations in our Friday (Friday Studio) profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |

n8n, Zapier and Make are all listed with a free tier in our catalog. Friday itself has no pricing page, so there is no published free plan to compare against.
It is macOS only, needs your own model API key, and has no published pricing. Windows and Linux are not yet available, which makes team planning hard.
Make's Core plan is $9 per month for 10k credits, against $19.99 per month for Zapier Professional (750 tasks). n8n's starting price is not stated in our data.
Our data describes n8n as cloud-hosted or self-hosted. Zapier and Make are described as web platforms, so they do not run as a local Mac app.
