Make Plans & Pricing
Make offers four tiers: Free (1,000 ops/month), Core at $9/month (10,000 ops), Pro at $16/month (10,000 ops + advanced features), and Teams at $29/month (10,000 ops + collaboration). Operations are the primary pricing unit — each module execution in a scenario run counts as one operation. Annual billing saves approximately 20 percent. Enterprise pricing with custom operation limits is available for large organizations.

Is Make Worth the Price?
Make's pricing delivers exceptional value compared to Zapier, which charges $19.99 per month for just 750 tasks at the Starter plan. Make Core at $9 per month provides 10,000 operations — roughly 13 times more automation throughput for half the price. For businesses running complex multi-step workflows, the cost difference is even more pronounced because Make's advanced features like branching logic and data aggregation are included at no extra cost, while Zapier requires higher-tier plans for equivalent functionality. The free tier's 1,000 monthly operations make initial evaluation risk-free.
The free plan provides 1,000 operations per month, 2 active scenarios, 15-minute scheduling minimum, and access to all 1,800+ app integrations. Core at $9 per month provides 10,000 operations, unlimited active scenarios, 5-minute scheduling minimum, and full execution history for the last 30 days. Pro at $16 per month adds priority support, custom variables, flexible scenario scheduling, and execution history for 90 days at 10,000 operations. Teams at $29 per month adds team workspaces with multiple team members, shared scenario libraries, team-level permissions, and activity logs. Enterprise pricing is custom with dedicated support and SLAs.
Make Free Trial — What's Included?
Make does not offer a time-limited free trial — instead, the free plan is permanent with 1,000 monthly operations. This unlimited-duration free tier is more useful than a 14-day trial for evaluating automation effectiveness because you can observe real scenarios over multiple weeks. On paid plan upgrades, Make offers pro-rated refunds within 30 days if the plan doesn't meet expectations. No credit card is required for the free plan signup.

Coupon code AIPRICERADAR applies to your first billing period when upgrading from free to any paid plan.
Make has a permanent free plan with 1,000 operations per month, 2 active scenarios, and access to all app integrations. There is no time limit or credit card requirement. For many individual users and small teams with basic automation needs, the free plan is sufficient — particularly for automations that run infrequently. Users commonly stay on the free plan for months before their automation usage grows to require an upgrade. The free plan is a complete platform experience, not a restricted preview — you can build and run real business-critical automations on it. The primary upgrade triggers are exceeding 1,000 monthly operations, needing more than 2 simultaneous active scenarios, or requiring scheduling intervals shorter than 15 minutes.
Estimate your monthly operation needs by counting the modules in each scenario and multiplying by expected run frequency. For example: a scenario with 4 modules that runs when a form is submitted, expecting 100 monthly form submissions, uses 400 operations per month. A scenario with 6 modules that runs every hour uses 6 operations per execution × 24 hours × 30 days = 4,320 operations per month. Add up all your scenarios to estimate total monthly usage. As a rough guide, 1,000 operations per month on the free plan supports a few low-frequency automations or one moderate-frequency workflow. 10,000 operations on Core supports a dozen regularly running scenarios for a small business's typical automation needs.
Yes, additional operations beyond your plan's monthly base can be purchased as operation bundles from the Make billing dashboard. Bundles add extra operations to your monthly allowance without requiring a plan upgrade. This flexibility is useful for months when you run unusually high automation volume without committing to a permanently higher plan tier. The per-operation cost in bundles is higher than the base plan's effective per-operation rate, so if you consistently exceed your base operations, upgrading to a higher plan is more economical than buying recurring bundles. Make's billing page shows your current monthly consumption rate to help identify the optimal plan for your usage pattern.
Make counts operations when modules execute, including when execution fails partway through a scenario. If a scenario starts and the first module succeeds but a later module fails, the operations consumed by the successful modules are counted. Make provides error handling capabilities — you can configure retry behavior, alternative paths when steps fail, and error notifications. Properly configured error handling reduces unnecessary operation waste from failed scenarios. Make's execution history shows failed scenario runs with detailed error information, helping you diagnose and fix errors that are causing operations to be consumed without completing the intended automation.
Make (operated by Celonis, Inc.) is GDPR compliant and provides data processing agreements for EU customers. The platform offers EU-based data storage options for organizations with data residency requirements. Make's privacy controls allow managing what personal data flows through automation scenarios. For automations processing personal data — customer information, employee records, or other PII — you should configure Make scenarios to minimize data retention and ensure data transfers between apps comply with your privacy policy commitments. Make's compliance documentation includes information about sub-processors, data retention policies, and breach notification procedures.
The Make Teams plan at $29 per month provides everything in Pro plus team collaboration features including multiple user seats sharing a single workspace, shared scenario libraries that team members can access and use as starting templates, team-level permission management to control which users can view or edit specific scenarios, and an activity log showing which team members made changes and when. The Teams plan is appropriate for organizations where multiple people build and manage automations together — operations teams, marketing departments, and agencies with more than one Make user. For solo users or small teams where one person builds all scenarios, the Pro plan at $16 per month provides the advanced features without the team collaboration overhead.
Make's refund policy allows refund requests within 30 days of initial purchase for users who have not significantly used the platform. Since a permanent free plan is available for evaluation, refund requests for paid plans are assessed based on whether the platform was legitimately tested before the upgrade decision. Make's support team is generally responsive to billing disputes and exceptional circumstances. The most reliable way to manage risk on Make subscriptions is to fully utilize the free plan for evaluation before upgrading, ensuring the paid features you need are verified before committing. Monthly billing provides the lowest-risk paid option since you can cancel before the next billing cycle without losing prepaid time.
Make does not charge operations for inactive scenarios that are turned off. Operations are consumed only when modules execute during an active scenario run. Inactive scenarios consume no operations. The operation count resets monthly regardless of whether you used all your allocation. Unused operations do not roll over to the next month. If you have scenarios that run seasonally or sporadically, the monthly reset means underutilized months effectively reduce your average cost efficiency — consider whether downgrading to a lower operation tier during low-usage periods and upgrading when needed is more economical than maintaining a consistently high-tier subscription year-round.
Microsoft Power Automate and Make serve overlapping automation needs but with different pricing models and integration focuses. Power Automate is deeply integrated with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem — Office, SharePoint, Teams, Dynamics. It is included with many Microsoft 365 business plans at no additional cost for standard flows. Per-user Power Automate plans for premium connectors start at $15 per user per month. Make's Core plan at $9 per month per account (not per user) is often cheaper for small teams not on Microsoft's ecosystem. Make has broader third-party integration coverage for non-Microsoft tools. For organizations heavily invested in Microsoft 365, Power Automate's built-in availability makes it the natural starting point. For organizations using diverse tool stacks without Microsoft dependencies, Make's broader integrations and lower price point are typically advantages.

Make's operation allowance resets on your monthly billing date. Unused operations do not carry over and expire at reset. This monthly reset model means high-usage and low-usage months both start fresh. The billing dashboard shows your current month's operation consumption and days remaining until reset, helping you plan scenario run frequencies to stay within your plan's monthly budget.
