Make Pricing Guide 2026: Which Plan Should You Actually Buy?

How Make pricing actually works

Make doesn't charge a flat per-scenario fee. Every plan includes a monthly allowance of operations credits — a single metric covering every step a scenario performs — plus tier-specific limits on active scenarios, run frequency, execution time and file size.

That makes Make's pricing a little more involved to reason about than a simple 'per automation' competitor, but it also means a lean, well-optimized scenario can run comfortably on a lower tier than its complexity might suggest.

Every Make plan, summarized

• •Free — $0/month: 1,000 operations credits, 2 active scenarios, 15-minute minimum run interval, 5MB max file size, basic support.
• •Core — $9/month (10,000 credits): unlimited active scenarios, 1-minute minimum interval, 40-minute max execution, 100MB max file size, API access.
• •Pro — $16/month (10,000 credits): everything in Core, plus priority execution, custom variables, full-text log search, 250MB max file size.
• •Teams — $29/month (10,000 credits): everything in Pro, plus team roles, shareable scenario templates, 500MB max file size, unlimited users.
• •Enterprise — custom pricing: everything in Teams, plus custom functions, enterprise integrations, 24/7 support, overage protection.

The best plan for most builders

Core is the natural starting point for anyone past the trial stage: it's the first tier with unlimited active scenarios and a 1-minute run interval, at an affordable $9/month. Stay on Free only while you're validating whether Make fits your workflow — its 2-scenario cap and 15-minute interval are real limits that production use hits quickly.

How Make's pricing compares

Make's credit-based model differs from Zapier's task-count pricing and n8n's self-hosted or execution-based cloud pricing. In practice, Make tends to land more affordably than Zapier at similar volume once scenarios involve multiple steps, while costing more than a self-hosted n8n instance — which trades that lower cost for the DevOps overhead of running your own server.

When to upgrade

Watch for a few concrete signals rather than upgrading preemptively: hitting the Free plan's 2-scenario cap, needing runs faster than every 15 minutes, running low on monthly credits before the cycle resets, or needing team roles and shared templates that only unlock on Teams.

If none of those apply yet, staying on your current tier and optimizing scenario complexity is usually the cheaper move than upgrading early.
