Bars are proportional to price. USD. Paid prices are quoted at the 10,000-credit tier.

The plan sets the features; the credit tier sets the price. Every paid plan is quoted at 10,000 credits a month, and each costs more at higher credit volumes. The free plan's scenarios run no more often than every 15 minutes. You can cancel any time and drop back to Free.

For what each plan is good for and our ease rating (3/5), see the Make review.

Credits

What a credit is

Make bills in credits. Each time a scenario runs, the modules that do work use credits:

  • Most actions use 1 credit: adding a row, sending an email, updating a record.
  • Some AI features use more. An AI-heavy scenario costs more than the headline rate, so test one before you size a plan.

Free of charge

What does not use credits

  • Routers. Splitting a scenario into branches costs nothing.
  • Error handlers. Catching a failed step and deciding what to do costs nothing.

That matters for design. You can route leads, orders or support requests down different paths, and add error handling everywhere, without paying for the plumbing.

How many credits will you need?

  • Illustration: one form-to-CRM scenario

    Credits a month. Our arithmetic, not a measured workload.

    1. Free allowance1,000
    2. This scenario3,600
    3. Smallest paid tier10,000

    4 counted steps × 30 runs a day × 30 days = 3,600 credits.

Illustrative example with assumed numbers. Your workload will differ.

Here is how to estimate, using a made-up example. A form submission triggers a scenario with five modules: a router, then add a row to Google Sheets, update the CRM, send a welcome email and post to Slack. The router is free, so count 4 steps, at 1 credit each. If 30 forms arrive a day:

4 credits × 30 runs × 30 days = 3,600 credits a month.

That is more than the free plan's 1,000 (which would run out in about 8 days) and well inside the quoted 10,000-credit tier. Add an AI step and the count rises, because some AI features use more than 1 credit. Run the real scenario on the free plan for a few days and check your usage before you choose.

Running out

Running out, extra credits and expiry

  • Run out and scenarios stop until you add credits. Incoming webhooks are queued.
  • Extra credits come in bundles of 1,000 or 10,000, or you can turn on auto-purchase on Core, Pro and Teams.
  • Credits expire at the end of the term. Unused credits do not roll over, so a big buffer is wasted money.
  • Annual billing is cheaper, but you commit for the year. Start monthly until your usage is steady.
