Make pricing: credits, tiers and the cost of polling

Make bills credits: one per module run, the trigger included. Core starts at $10.59 a month for 10,000 credits ($9 billed yearly), so $1.06 per 1,000 credits.

What uses a credit

The trigger counts too, and a polling trigger uses a credit on every check, even when it finds nothing. Modules after the trigger run once for every item it returns, so a trigger that finds 10 new rows runs the next module 10 times.

"Each module action in your scenario, like adding a Google Sheet row or fetching Gmail account data, counts as one credit."

Polling costs credits even when nothing happens

A scheduled scenario that checks for new data uses a credit on every check:

Checks everyChecks a monthCheapest plan for the checks alone
1 minute43,200$64.71/mo (Core)
5 minutes8,640$10.59/mo (Core)
15 minutes2,880$10.59/mo (Core)

Where the app supports it, an instant (webhook) trigger avoids this: it only runs when something happens.

Pro and Teams cost more per credit and add features such as priority execution and team roles. Extra credits on paid plans cost the plan's per-credit price plus 25%.

Make against the others

A 4-step scenario with an instant trigger, running 5,000 times a month, uses 25,000 Make credits. The same workload everywhere:
