# Make

> A visual automation builder that connects apps in 'scenarios', billed by monthly credits.

Make (formerly Integromat) lets you build automations on a visual canvas, with routers for branching, iterators for loops, error handlers and data stores. It suits more complex flows than simple trigger-action tools and is usually cheaper per step at volume. Since 2025 Make bills in credits: most module actions use one credit, and some AI and code features use more. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams) are priced by credit tier; Enterprise is custom.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Fit | Plans | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automate simple app-to-app workflows (`workflow-automation`) | native | all | Steeper learning curve than Zapier for simple tasks; Free plan has only 1,000 credits |
| Run multi-step, high-volume automations (`advanced-automation`) | native | all | Very large scenarios become hard to maintain; Code execution consumes extra credits |
| Run AI agents that complete multi-step tasks (`ai-agents-automation`) | partial | all | AI features can use more than one credit per step; Plan-level agent limits not confirmed this session |
| Store structured data in a shared database or spreadsheet (`database-spreadsheet`) | workaround | all | Storage is small (10 MB per 10,000 credits); not a team database |

## Why people pay for it

- A visual canvas that shows complex multi-branch automations clearly.
- Lower cost per step than Zapier for high-volume flows (editorial view).
- Routers, iterators, aggregators and error handlers for real data processing.
- A large app library (the pricing page cites 3,000+ apps) plus HTTP and webhooks for anything else.
- Hosted: no servers to run.

## Reasons to keep paying

- Complex scenarios with branching and error handling that took real effort to build and debug.
- Hosted reliability without the overhead of self-hosting an automation server.
- A balance of power and no-code usability that sits between Zapier and developer tools.

## Risks

- **vendor_lock_in** (medium): Blueprints only work in Make; moving platforms means rebuilding scenarios.
- **reliability** (low): Scenarios pause when credits run out unless auto-purchase is on (at a 25% premium).
- **sensitive_data** (medium): Data passes through Make's cloud and execution logs; review retention for sensitive data.

Data portability: moderate — Scenarios export as JSON blueprints that can be re-imported into Make, but not into other platforms. Data stores export to CSV.
