About Metro Research
Independent, research-driven reviews of the AI and automation tools that run modern businesses.
What we do
Metro Research publishes independent reviews and comparisons of automation and AI platforms — including Make.com, Zapier, n8n, Pipedream, Workato and Activepieces. Our goal is simple: help you choose the right tool the first time, based on careful research rather than marketing copy.
How we research (honestly)
We are an independent, research-driven publication. We do not claim to run hands-on lab tests of every platform. Instead, every article is built from a careful analysis of each tool’s official documentation, pricing pages and changelogs, combined with real-world feedback from verified users across review platforms and communities. Where we make a recommendation, we explain the reasoning so you can judge it for yourself.
Documentation-based
We read the platform docs and feature pages so our descriptions reflect what each tool actually does.
True cost analysis
We model pricing at low and high volume so you know what a tool really costs as you grow.
Real user feedback
We weigh aggregated reviews and community discussion, not just vendor claims.
Kept current
The automation space moves fast, so we revisit and update our guides as tools change.
