Cargo vs Make

Make is a visual workflow builder: you assemble scenarios on a canvas, with real branching, iteration and error handling, and it is considerably more capable than a simple trigger-action tool. Cargo is a GTM orchestration layer where the engine is declared in TypeScript, planned as a diff and deployed, and where accounts, contacts, enrichment and routing already exist as primitives.

When you want to build visually and the work is general-purpose automation rather than a revenue engine. Make is strong at that, and it does not require anyone to open a terminal. If nobody on the team will read a diff, Make gets you further than Cargo will.

Reviewability. A scenario is a picture, so there is no diff, no history of the system as a whole, and no way to replay a past run against new logic. That is tolerable for ten scenarios and it is how teams end up with two hundred nobody can safely change. It is also the reason an AI agent cannot operate the logic: there is no text for it to read or write.

No. It has no GTM semantics, so a data model, an enrichment waterfall, scoring and territories are all things you build yourself out of generic modules. That is the correct trade only if you wanted to build them.

Yes. A common split is Cargo owning the revenue engine and Make handling internal or cross-department automation that has nothing to do with go-to-market.
