Make now bills in credits: its pricing page (read 29 Sep 2026) says each module action in a scenario, such as adding a Google Sheets row, counts as one credit. Free includes 1,000 credits a month; Core, Pro and Teams are shown at $9, $16 and $29 a month “for 10k credits” when billed annually ($10.59, $18.82 and $34.12 billed monthly), with a slider up to 8M+ credits. Core is where unlimited active scenarios begin. If your automations are short and infrequent, Free or Core covers them; long scenarios burn credits quickly because every step counts.
Plan ladder at 10,000 credits a month
| Plan | Billed annually, per month | Billed monthly | Adds over the plan below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0, up to 1,000 credits | $0 | Visual builder, 3000+ apps, routers and filters, 15-minute minimum interval between runs |
| Core | $9 | $10.59 | Unlimited active scenarios, scheduling down to the minute, higher data-transfer limits, Make API access |
| Pro | $16 | $18.82 | Priority scenario execution, custom variables, full-text execution-log search |
| Teams | $29 | $34.12 | Teams and team roles, shareable scenario templates |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom functions, enterprise app integrations, 24/7 support, overage protection, advanced security |
The page has a “pay monthly / pay annually” toggle marked “save 15% or more”, and it opens on “Pay annually”: $9, $16 and $29 are the annual-billing prices per month. With the toggle on “Pay monthly” the same 10k-credit plans read $10.59, $18.82 and $34.12, which is the 15 percent difference. Prices change with the credit slider; we read only the 10k position.
Worked example: what a scenario costs
Because every module action is a credit, a scenario with a trigger and five actions uses about six credits per run under that definition (our arithmetic; the page’s FAQ, which we did not read in full, defines the exact counting). At 10,000 credits that is roughly 1,600 runs a month. The Make Code app, which runs JavaScript or Python, is listed at 2 credits per second of code execution.
Who it suits, who should skip
- Suits people who want a visual canvas and lots of app connectors on a small budget.
- Free suits one or two short scenarios; the page lists no cap on active scenarios for Free in the text we read, but the 15-minute interval matters for time-sensitive work.
- Skip if your automations are long chains run thousands of times: compare cost per run on n8n, which counts a whole run once, and Zapier. The Make vs Zapier guide sets the two side by side.
- Look at n8n for self-hosted flows; Relay.app, which was built for approval steps, has shut down.
What this page cannot tell you
Reliability, error handling and the real breadth of the app library are not on a pricing page, and we have not assessed them. The page lists AI features (an assistant called Maia, AI agents in beta, an MCP server) without limits in the text we read.
