Lumen Trust Notes

Make

Make is cloud-hosted with data processed through Make's EU and US infrastructure; there is no self-hosted option on standard plans. Its competitive pricing, generous free tier, and broad integration library make automation genuinely accessible to small teams and solo operators, earning a High parity score. Recommended for teams needing sophisticated multi-step automation without engineering overhead.

Zapier

Zapier is cloud-hosted; workflow data flows through Zapier's infrastructure with no self-hosted option on standard plans, so Privacy is Low. A free tier and nonprofit pricing support Medium parity, while the product's clear automation mission earns High purpose. Underlying AI and app integrations are closed/third-party, keeping Provenance Low. Ideal for connecting SaaS tools quickly; review which fields pass through Zaps when handling personal or regulated data.
