ledger entry · observed by @whysanesanders

The most polished visual automation platform around — 3,000+ integrations and a scenario editor non-technical people actually ship with. The move from operations to credits made monthly costs harder to predict, and busy flows get expensive at volume. If you don't need self-hosting or agent nodes, this is still the default pick.

Strengths

  • Most polished visual automation: 3,000+ apps and a scenario editor non-engineers ship with.
  • Default pick when you do not need self-hosting or agent nodes.

Known limitations

  • Free-plan credits expire monthly; annual paid credits expire after 12 months.
  • No self-hosting; your automations live on Make's cloud.
  • Credit pricing adds up quickly once flows run at volume.

Use it when

  • Ops and growth automations across SaaS tools.
  • Teams that will live on a visual canvas, not n8n or code.

Skip it when

  • You need to self-host the automations.
  • Credit burn at volume is already unpredictable.
  • Free-plan credits expiring monthly would strand the flow.

Buy-check

  • ·Price — freemium, free 1,000 credits/mo (2 active scenarios, 15-min intervals); Core $12/mo billed yearly for 10k credits as of 2026-08-24. Open the pricing page, not a screenshot.
  • ·Free tier — Free tier exists — burn it first.
  • ·Cancel fallout — What happens to your data/projects on cancel — check the ToS, not the FAQ.
  • ·Seat math — Per-seat pricing multiplies quietly. Count seats before the annual plan.
  • ·Who skips it — Also skipped when: You need to self-host the automations.; Credit burn at volume is already unpredictable..
  • ·Money link — Our Visit link is affiliate — declared, verdict unaffected.
