Make builds automations as visual scenarios: modules chained across more than 3,000 apps. Its AI agents live on the same canvas, so an agent is one more visible part of a scenario rather than a separate product⁠1.

Best for: Teams that want to see and control every step of an automation, including AI agents whose reasoning is shown step by step.

Not the right fit for: Buyers who need audit logs, SSO or custom roles without an Enterprise plan.

What Make's AI agents do

Make AI Agents are reusable across scenarios, and a reasoning panel shows each decision step by step. Builders can add manual approvals or stop an agent at specific points, and AI agents are available on all plans⁠1. Agents can use Make's own AI provider or, on paid plans, the company's own provider connection⁠2.

How credits work

Make bills in credits; by default one operation costs one credit. With Make's AI provider, an agent costs one credit per operation plus credits based on the model tokens used; with the company's own provider connection, it costs one credit per operation and the provider bills the tokens⁠23. The free plan includes 1,000 credits a month⁠3. Since November 2025, Core allows up to 300,000 credits a month and Pro up to 8 million⁠4. Extra credits cost 25% more than plan credits and expire⁠4. The prices of paid plans were not readable on the pricing page when we checked⁠5.

Governance

Audit logs, kept for 12 months, are available on the Enterprise plan only⁠6, as are custom roles⁠7. An on-premise agent that lets scenarios reach systems on a local network also requires Enterprise⁠8.

Published evidence

  • TripleTen. Make reports that TripleTen cut ad setup time by up to seven times and moved creative labelling for more than 1,000 assets a year from weeks to seconds, using an AI agent among its scenarios. Vendor-reported.⁠9

Strengths and limits

Strengths

  • A reasoning panel shows each decision an agent makes, which makes errors easier to find.
  • AI agents, including manual approvals and stop points, are available on all plans.
  • Paid plans can bring their own AI provider, so model costs are billed by the provider rather than in Make credits.

Limits

  • Audit logs, SSO and custom roles are Enterprise-only.
  • Plan prices could not be read on the pricing page when we checked, so costs must be confirmed directly.
  • Extra credits cost 25% more than plan credits and expire.
  • No self-hosting; an on-premise agent for reaching local systems requires Enterprise.

Choose another option if: You need governance features on a mid-market plan, or a system that holds the records itself. Zapier or OpenLazarus fit those needs.

Pricing

Credit model published; free plan 1,000 credits a month. Paid plan prices were not readable on the page we checked.

Questions to ask Make

  • What does each paid plan cost for our expected monthly credits?
  • Should our agents use Make's AI provider or our own, and how does that change the bill?
  • Which steps should stop for manual approval?
  • Do we need audit logs or custom roles, and therefore Enterprise?
