About
Overview
Make is a visual automation platform that connects apps and services to automate workflows. It differentiates itself from Zapier by offering a highly visual, node-based canvas where you can see the flow of data, add complex conditional logic, and handle errors visually.
Pricing & Free Tier
Free Tier: Yes. Includes 1,000 operations per month and 2 active scenarios.
Core Plan: $9/month. Unlocks 10,000 operations and unlimited active scenarios.
Pro Plan: $16/month. Adds custom variables, priority execution, and advanced logic.
How to Use
- Sign up at make.com.
- Click "Create a new scenario".
- Click the big "+" to add a Trigger (e.g., "Google Sheets: Watch Rows").
- Add an Action node and draw a line between them to pass data.
- Click "Run once" to test the flow, then toggle "Scheduling" to ON.
Important Notes
- Complexity: Make is much more powerful than Zapier but has a steeper learning curve. Understanding data structures (JSON, arrays) is crucial.
- Operations: Every node that executes successfully counts as one operation. Complex scenarios can burn through your 10,000 monthly operations quickly.
