Make.com Pricing 2026: Plans, Credits, Costs & Calculator

By The Architect, CreatorOpsMatrix Technical pricing guide
Quick answer

Make.com has a Free plan with up to 1,000 credits/month. At the 10,000-credit level, Core is $16/month on monthly billing ($12/month billed annually), Pro is $28 ($21 annual), and Teams is $51 ($38 annual). Enterprise pricing is custom.

But the plan price is only half the calculation. Make prices usage through credits, and your real cost depends on how many credits your scenarios actually consume.

Make.com Pricing Plans at a Glance

These are the current prices at Make’s 10,000-credit comparison point. Make’s public pricing page uses a credit selector, so a higher credit requirement produces a higher subscription price.

*Read this before comparing prices

Paid-plan figures are the 10,000-credit reference point, not universal prices. Make’s pricing page defaults to the annual view, so the lower number you see first is the annual-billing monthly equivalent, which is paid in advance for the year. Month-to-month billing costs more.

What Makes Make.com Pricing Different?

Make does not price you by how many automations you have. It prices usage through credits, and the number of credits you consume depends on what your scenarios actually execute.

That is the single most important thing to understand before choosing a plan. A scenario that runs 1,000 times can consume 1,000 credits, 5,000 credits or more than 10,000, depending on what happens inside those runs. Workflow runs and credits are not the same number.

The pricing question to ask

Not “how many automations do I have?” but “how much module work will my scenarios perform each month?”

How Make.com Credits Work

Credits are Make’s billing unit. They replaced operations as the term for billing, while operations still describe the module activity itself. Most standard non-AI operations use one credit, but some features use different or dynamic credit rates, so do not treat one visible module as exactly one credit in every case.

Example 1: a simple workflow

3 standard operations × 1,000 runs

Trigger
Google Sheets row
Email

Three standard operations across 1,000 runs is roughly 3,000 credits.

Example 2: a longer workflow

Several operations per execution × monthly runs

Trigger
Search CRM
Filter
Create record
Notify
Update sheet

Credit usage grows with the actual work performed. Routers and error-handler modules do not use credits, so routing logic is cheaper than it looks on the canvas.

Example 3: bundles and loops

If one execution processes 20 records, a downstream action can run once for each bundle. What looks like one workflow run can become many credit-consuming operations. This is the most common reason a Make bill is higher than a first estimate.

The cost rule

For a simple fixed-credit workflow, credit usage can be approximated from scenario runs, credit-consuming operations and the number of bundles those operations process. It does not depend on how many scenarios you own.

Make.com Credit Calculator: How Many Credits Will Your Workflow Use?

Use this calculator to approximate monthly credit usage for a standard fixed-credit workflow. It separates operations that happen once per run (a trigger, a search, an aggregator) from operations that repeat for every bundle, because that split is where most estimates go wrong.

1. Your workflow

2. Your estimate

Estimated monthly credits
9,900
Base credits before allowance 9,000
Suggested credit level 10,000 credits
Suggested starting plan Core
Headroom at that level 100 credits

Your estimated usage is within the 10,000-credit level, but with little headroom. A growing workflow may need the next level.

Formula: (runs × per-run operations) + (runs × bundles × per-bundle actions), then plus your allowance. Operations that run once per run include the trigger, searches and aggregators. Routers and error-handler modules use no credits, so leave them out. Estimate only: AI and other dynamic-credit features can use credits based on tokens, file size, pages, processing time or other usage factors. Plan suggestions assume Free limits (2 active scenarios, 15-minute scheduling) are not enough for production use.

What Increases Your Make.com Bill?

After you know the plan prices, these are the behaviors that actually move your credit count.

Make.com Free Plan

The Free plan has no time limit, but it is built for learning and light use.

  • 1,000 credits per month
  • 2 active scenarios
  • 15-minute minimum scheduling interval
  • 5-minute maximum scenario execution time
  • 5 MB maximum file size
  • 7-day execution log storage

Who should choose Free?

Choose Free when you are learning Make, testing a workflow, or running very light automation where 1,000 monthly credits and the 15-minute scheduling limit are enough. For production workflows, the 2-scenario limit and 15-minute scheduling interval can become the reason to move to Core even before you exhaust the 1,000-credit allowance.

Make.com Core: Who Is It Actually For?

Core is the logical starting point once you have moved beyond experimentation. Over Free, it adds unlimited active scenarios, one-minute scheduling and access to the Make API.

Core makes sense whenCore is unnecessary when
You need more than 2 active scenariosYou are still testing
You need 1-minute scheduling15-minute scheduling is enough
You need Make API accessYou do not use the API
Your usage fits the credit allocationYou need advanced collaboration features

Make.com Pro: What Are You Actually Paying More For?

You are not primarily buying more automation. At the same credit level, Pro adds higher-level execution and operational features: priority scenario execution, custom variables and full-text execution-log search.

Upgrade to Pro when

These matter to you

Execution priority matters, you need searchable execution history, or custom variables solve real workflow complexity.

Stay on Core when

You are only short on credits

Your workflows already run reliably, you do not need those features, or you are upgrading purely because you need more credits. Credits are bought by volume, not by plan name.

Make.com Teams: When Is It Worth Paying More?

Teams adds teams and team roles plus the ability to create and share scenario templates. It is primarily a collaboration and governance decision, not a volume decision.

Do not upgrade on client count alone

Having more clients does not by itself justify Teams. Upgrade when you need role-based access, team-owned resources or shared templates across several builders.

If you run client work, read our guide to Make.com for marketing agencies for how teams, ownership and billing fit together.

Make.com Enterprise

Enterprise is for organizations that need capabilities such as custom functions, enterprise app integrations, 24/7 support, overage protection and advanced security features.

Monthly vs Annual Make.com Pricing

Annual billing is cheaper, but the lower monthly-equivalent price represents a prepaid annual commitment rather than a month-to-month subscription. Make advertises savings of 15% or more for annual billing. At the 10,000-credit level shown here, annual billing is about 25% cheaper than monthly billing for Core, Pro and Teams.

10,000 creditsMonthly billingAnnual billing (monthly equivalent)Annual total
Core$16$12$144
Pro$28$21$252
Teams$51$38$456

Annual billing changes credit behavior differently by plan. Core still uses monthly credit allocations even when you pay annually. Pro and Teams use annual credit packages that you can spend flexibly across the year, which suits uneven usage. Credits expire at the end of the term, and extra credits expire with it: after one month on a monthly subscription, or at the end of the year on an annual Pro or Teams subscription. If you are not sure the workflow will still exist in a year, start monthly.

What Happens When You Run Out of Make Credits?

Warning

75% and 90%

Make notifies you as usage approaches 75% and again at 90% of your purchased credits.

At the limit

Scenarios stop

Scenarios stop running until credits are added. Incoming webhooks queue up to your queue limit and process when scenarios resume.

Your options

Upgrade or top up

Upgrade your subscription, buy extra credits, or enable automatic extra-credit purchases on eligible plans.

Extra credits currently carry a 25% premium over the credits included in your plan. A 10,000-credit plan does not mean you can safely plan around exactly 10,000: a production workflow that regularly exceeds its allocation becomes more expensive through extra credits, so recurring overage is a signal to move up a credit level rather than keep topping up.

Polling can use credits on empty checks

Scheduled polling can consume credits even when no new data is returned. If an app supports instant webhooks, using a webhook can avoid unnecessary polling activity.

How AI Changes Make.com Credit Costs

Standard workflows mostly use fixed credit rates. AI workflows can be dynamic. Make’s documentation says dynamic credit usage can depend on tokens, file size, page count, processing time and other usage factors.

Fixed

Standard app modules

Usually one credit per operation, regardless of input or data size. Uploading a file always costs the same credit amount.

Dynamic

Make’s built-in AI provider

Credits are based on tokens and operations, and vary with the model you select and the amount of text processed.

Operations only

Your own AI connection

Custom AI provider connections work on every paid plan, Core included. You pay Make for operations and your AI provider directly for tokens.

Per second

Make Code

The Make Code app uses 2 credits per second of execution time, so long-running code adds up quickly.

A scenario that looks identical to a basic sync can cost far more once an AI step or a long code block is added, so test with realistic payloads before trusting an estimate.

What Does Make.com Actually Cost for a Real Workflow?

Lead qualification workflow

Lead form
CRM lookup
Qualification
CRM update
Slack alert

Assume 2,000 runs per month and 5 standard operations per run: 2,000 × 5 = 10,000 credits, assuming each of the five operations executes once per scenario run and produces one bundle. That lands right at the 10,000-credit level before any retries, loops, extra bundles or dynamic AI processing, so a real month could easily run past it.

Do not treat that result as exact billing when bundle behavior is unknown. The same 2,000 runs can cost very different amounts depending on the workflow shape:

Workflow shapeApproximate credit usageWhy
Simple 3-module workflowLowFew operations per run
6-module linear workflowMediumOne credit per standard operation

The decision rule

Do not choose a plan from client count alone. Choose it from credit consumption + required features + collaboration model.

Make.com vs Zapier Pricing

The two platforms meter different things, so a price-for-price comparison misleads. Make counts credits for module work. Zapier counts tasks for successful action steps, and its polling triggers do not use tasks.
