Make offers multiple pricing tiers ranging from a free plan to enterprise options. This guide breaks down every plan, what’s included, and which one offers the best value for your needs.
Understanding Make’s pricing can be confusing at first — it uses a credit-based system instead of simple per-task pricing. In this guide, we’ll break down every plan, explain how credits work, and help you choose the right tier.
Make Pricing Plans Overview
| Plan | Monthly Price | Credits/Month | Active Scenarios | Min Interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 | 2 | 15 minutes |
| Core | $10.59 | 10,000 | Unlimited | 1 minute |
| Pro | $18.82 | Up to 8M | Unlimited | 1 minute |
| Teams | $34.12 | Custom | Unlimited | 1 minute |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Unlimited | Custom |
All paid plans are billed monthly. Annual billing options provide discounts.
How Make Credits Work
Make’s pricing revolves around credits — but what counts as a credit?
- 1 operation = 1 credit (usually). An operation is each module that processes data in your scenario.
- A scenario with 5 modules that runs once = ~5 credits
- Data transfer and some advanced modules may consume more credits
- Webhooks that receive data but trigger no action still use credits
Credit Example
Imagine a scenario that:
- Watches for new emails (1 credit)
- Filters by subject line (1 credit)
- Extracts attachments (1 credit)
- Uploads to Google Drive (1 credit)
- Sends a Slack notification (1 credit)
Total: ~5 credits per run. If this runs 100 times/month = 500 credits.
Plan-by-Plan Breakdown

Best for trying out Make before committing.
- 1,000 credits/month
- 2 active scenarios max
- 15-minute minimum interval between runs
- Access to all 3,000+ app integrations

Core Plan ($10.59/month)
The sweet spot for freelancers and small businesses.
- 10,000 credits/month
- Unlimited active scenarios
- 1-minute minimum interval
- All app integrations
Verdict: Handles 5-8 client automations comfortably. Most solo operators start here.

For teams running complex, high-volume automations.
- Up to 8 million credits/month (updated November 2025)
- Priority execution (scenarios run faster)
- Full-text execution search

Teams Plan ($34.12/month)
For collaborative automation across a team.
- Everything in Pro

- AI agents
- Shared scenario templates
- Priority execution
Verdict: Necessary when multiple people manage automations. The shared templates save significant setup time.

Make vs Zapier Pricing
The pricing difference between Make and Zapier is dramatic:
| Scenario | Make Cost | Zapier Cost |
|---|---|---|

| 10-step workflow, 500 runs/mo | ~$10.59 (Core) | ~$29.99+ (Professional) |
| Complex branching, 2,000 runs/mo | ~$18.82 (Pro) | ~$73.50+ (Team) |
For complex, multi-step workflows, Make can be up to 13x cheaper than Zapier. The savings grow as your automations become more complex.

How to Choose the Right Plan
Start with Free if you’re new to Make and want to test the platform.
Go Core if you’re a freelancer or small business running straightforward automations (under 10,000 operations/month).
Go Pro if you run high-volume automations, need priority execution, or manage complex scenarios with debugging needs.
Go Teams if multiple team members need to build and manage automations collaboratively.
Tips to Optimize Your Make Costs
- Use filters early — place filters before expensive modules to avoid wasting credits on unwanted data
- Batch operations — process arrays instead of individual items when possible
- Set appropriate intervals — don’t run every minute if every 15 minutes is fine
- Monitor credit usage — Make’s dashboard shows credit consumption per scenario
- Archive unused scenarios — inactive scenarios still count toward your limit on the free plan
Final Thoughts
Make offers some of the best value in the automation space. The credit system takes getting used to, but once you understand it, you’ll find it more predictable and affordable than Zapier’s per-task pricing.
For most users, the Core plan at $10.59/month is the best starting point. Upgrade to Pro when you need priority execution or higher volume.
