Make.com is one of the cheapest ways into real workflow automation: Free, Core at $9/month, Pro at $16/month, Teams at $29/month and a custom Enterprise tier. All paid plans start at 10,000 credits/month, and annual billing saves roughly 15%. The thing to understand before you buy is the credit model, which replaced Make's old "operations" counting in 2025. Here's the full breakdown.
Every Make.com plan & price
Prices below are the standard monthly rate; annual billing knocks off about 15%.
| Plan | Price/mo | Credits/mo | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 | 2 active scenarios, visual builder, 3,000+ apps, routers & filters, 15-min min interval. |
| Core | $9 | 10,000 | Unlimited active scenarios, 1-min scheduling, full app access. The real entry point. |
| Pro | $16 | 10,000 | Everything in Core plus full-text execution-log search, custom variables and priority execution. |
| Teams | $29 | 10,000 | Everything in Pro plus team roles, shared scenario templates and collaboration. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom credit allocation, advanced security, SSO and dedicated support. |
Credit allowances on paid plans are scalable — you can dial the monthly credits up as your volume grows without changing tiers, and the per-credit rate improves at higher volumes.
Operations became credits (Aug 2025)
Here's the change that matters. On August 27, 2025, Make switched from counting "operations" to counting credits. Each module run inside a scenario consumes credits, and — the important part — AI-related features can consume credits differently from standard modules. So a scenario that calls an AI model may burn credits faster than a comparable one that just moves data between apps.
The practical upshot: estimate cost by module runs, and treat AI-heavy steps as more expensive per run. If you're building agentic or LLM-powered workflows (the reason many teams pick Make now), watch those steps closely as you scale.
The free plan is genuinely usable
Make's free tier is more than a teaser. You get 1,000 credits/month, up to 2 active scenarios, the full visual builder, access to 3,000+ apps, and routers and filters for real branching logic. The main limits are the scenario count and a 15-minute minimum interval between scheduled runs.
That's enough to build and test proper automations before paying a cent. Most people outgrow it not on credits but on the two-scenario cap — the moment you want a third live workflow or faster scheduling, Core at $9 is the obvious step up.
Which plan should you pick?
Free is right for testing and light personal use. Core ($9) is the entry point for anyone running real automations — it lifts the scenario cap and drops scheduling to one minute. Pro ($16) earns its extra $7 if you debug a lot: full execution-log search and priority execution matter once workflows get complex. Teams ($29) is for small teams that need shared templates and roles.
For most individuals, Core or Pro covers it. Jump to Teams only when more than one person is building and maintaining scenarios. And size your monthly credits to expected volume — running out mid-cycle means buying more, which is where budgets slip.
Is Make worth it?
For value, yes. Make packs more automation into each dollar than task-based rivals like Zapier because its multi-step scenarios do more per run, so complex workflows usually cost less here. Starting real automation at $9/month is hard to beat, and the visual builder is powerful without needing code.
The main caveat is the learning curve and the AI-credit accounting — budget carefully if your scenarios lean on LLM steps. For how Make stacks up against the alternatives, read our Make review, the n8n vs Make comparison, and the best AI automation tools roundup. Sign up at make.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Make.com cost?
Make.com has five tiers in 2026: Free ($0, 1,000 credits/month), Core ($9/month), Pro ($16/month), Teams ($29/month) and Enterprise (custom). All paid plans start at 10,000 credits per month, and annual billing saves roughly 15%.
Is Make.com free?
Yes. Make's free plan gives you 1,000 credits per month, up to 2 active scenarios, the visual builder, access to 3,000+ apps, and routers and filters. Scheduled scenarios run on a 15-minute minimum interval on the free tier.
What are Make credits?
On August 27, 2025, Make switched from counting 'operations' to 'credits.' Each module run in a scenario consumes credits, and AI-related features can consume them differently from standard modules. Your plan's monthly credit allowance is the main thing that scales cost.
Is Make cheaper than Zapier?
Generally yes. Make's visual, multi-step scenarios pack more automation into each credit than Zapier's task-based pricing, so complex workflows usually cost less on Make. Zapier can be simpler for basic one-step automations, but Make is the value pick as complexity grows.
Which Make plan should I choose?
Free is fine for testing and light personal use. Core ($9) suits individuals running real automations. Pro ($16) adds full execution-log search, custom variables and priority execution for power users. Teams ($29) adds collaboration and shared templates for small teams.
Do unused Make credits roll over?
No. Credits reset each billing cycle and don't roll over. If you regularly run out, you can buy more credits or move up a tier — sizing your plan to expected monthly volume is the way to avoid surprises.
