What Is Make.com? Free Plan, Pricing, Credit System, AI Features and How to Use It

Make is an automation platform that connects apps without code (formerly Integromat). You make one job happen on its own when something else happens: a new form response comes in, write a row to Google Sheets, notify the team on Slack. In Make this flow is called a scenario. A scenario is made of modules; a module is a single action in one app (add a row, send an email).

Make also has newer tools: Maia, which builds scenarios through chat; AI agents that make their own decisions; and an MCP server that connects to assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT. They are all in the "AI" section.

Who it helps: anyone who repeats the same tasks by hand: small business owners, e-commerce sellers, agencies, social media managers, office workers. Make connects more than 3,000 apps; for a service that isn't on the list, you can connect through the HTTP app.

Make's own announcement page is titled "Integromat evolves to Make"; the company is part of the Celonis group.

You build scenarios in Make's web interface (Scenario Builder). The official getting-started guide asks you to first check which apps you will connect and whether you have the necessary permissions in those apps (for example, rights in a Slack workspace).

1. 1Create an account. At make.com/en/register there are Sign up with Google and Sign up with your work email options. The sign-up page says "work email"; whether a personal address works is not stated in the official sources.
2. 2You start on the Free plan. Your new organization comes on the Free plan by default, with a single team called My Team.
3. 3Create a scenario. Click Create scenario at the top right. You can tell Maia what you want in the chat on the left, or build it yourself on the blank canvas.
4. 4Connect your apps. The first time you use an app, you sign in to your account with Create a connection and grant Make access (for Google, Sign in with Google). A connection is set up once and reused in other scenarios that use the same app.

!The official sources don't say whether phone verification, an age limit or ID is required when signing up. They don't mention any access or payment restriction specific to Turkey either. See for yourself what the sign-up screen asks for; don't enter card details before you decide.

The official getting-started guide walks you through this example: when a new lead row is added to Google Sheets, a notification goes to the sales channel in Slack. Most jobs are made of the same three parts: trigger, action, schedule.

1. 1Plan it. Write down which apps you will connect, what will trigger it and what should happen at the end. Example: when a new row is added to Google Sheets, a notification goes to a Slack channel.
2. 2Add the trigger module. Click the big plus on the canvas and search for the Google Sheets > Watch New Rows module. Grant access to your Google account with Create a connection and select the spreadsheet.
3. 3Add the action module. For example, add a Slack module. Place values from the sheet (name, email) into the message by clicking or dragging them.
4. 4Add a filter if you want. For example, send a notification only for records from a particular country.
5. 5Test it once first. Save, then run it manually with Run once; check the result.
6. 6Schedule and activate it. The default schedule is every 15 minutes. Save the schedule and choose Activate scenario. A new scenario is inactive by default; until you activate it, it won't run on schedule, and you can only run it manually (Run once).

!Scheduling spends credits. The trigger module counts as 1 operation on every check, even if no new data arrives. The official guide says a scenario running every 5 minutes spends 288 credits a day on the trigger alone, one running hourly spends 24 credits a day, and one running once a day spends 30 credits a month. By the same formula (60 / 15 × 24), a scenario running every 15 minutes costs 96 credits a day, about 2,880 a month; it uses up the free plan's 1,000 credits in about 10 days. Keep the check frequency as low as you need, and turn off scenarios you activated for testing.

Most of Make's AI features are in beta; check which plan each is on and how it spends credits together. Credit details are in the "Is Make free?" section.

!AI steps can make mistakes. Maia's official system card also asks you to test the scenario before running or activating it. Don't paste API keys, passwords or tokens into the Maia chat.

Yes, there is a free plan, but it is limited: 1,000 credits a month, at most 2 active scenarios at a time, and at least 15 minutes between runs. The paid plans are Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise. The prices below are for the 10,000-credit tier, as a monthly equivalent when billed yearly.

The price changes as you choose the number of credits; in higher-credit tiers the price per credit drops. On the 10,000-credit tier, the official page shows 1,000 credits at $0.90 for Core, $1.60 for Pro and $2.90 for Teams. Yearly billing is about 15% cheaper than monthly billing ("Save 15%" on the page). Other free plan limits: 512 MB of data transfer a month, at most 5 MB per file, execution logs kept for 7 days, 1 data store.

!Before connecting customer or employee personal data to a scenario, review which apps it flows to and your data region.

Make is a business tool: it is designed to automate your own business processes. The agreement prohibits using the service "for the benefit of anyone other than yourself" unless the agreement or documentation explicitly allows it. The official sources don't separately explain how this applies to agencies and consultants.

If you will build scenarios on behalf of a client, ask Make's sales or support team whether an arrangement such as the client opening their own Make account and adding you to their team complies with the agreement. The Startup Program explicitly excludes those who sell automation as a service.

1. 1Only the organization's Owner or Admin role can cancel the subscription.
2. 2In the left menu, go to Org > My Plan > Subscription; in the Manage section, click Cancel subscription.
3. 3Choose a cancellation reason and see the features you will lose. The Free plan supports only one team; choose the team to keep.
4. 4Confirm the cancellation. Make sends a cancellation confirmation by email; if you change your mind, you can renew with Renew subscription.

All three connect apps; the real difference is what they count. Make counts each module action as a credit, Zapier counts each step in a Zap as a task, and n8n counts a full start-to-finish run of a workflow as an execution. The figures below come from each product's own pricing page (October 14, 2026).

MakeNo-code scenarios on a visual canvas; credit-based pricing; Maia and AI agents included.n8nPricing per execution; has a version you can install on your own server.

The official sources don't say which one is better. Work out your monthly volume in credits, tasks and executions, and try them on the free plans. Sources: zapier.com/pricing for Zapier; n8n.io/pricing and the n8n README for n8n.
