What the free plan gives you

Make Free costs $0. It includes 1,000 credits a month, two active scenarios and scheduled runs no more often than every 15 minutes. Most module actions use one credit; some AI features use more.

A small task to try first

Try a small internal handoff where a short wait is fine. Before turning it on, sketch the actions, branches and retries. Need frequent checks or lots of active workflows? Check the paid-plan limits. This is a planning suggestion, not a measured result.

What this means for you

A small, low-volume workflow may fit. Check the schedule and credits before relying on it.

What to write down when you try it

If your process keeps changing, you can’t estimate usage, or no one can look after the setup, pause before subscribing. Keep a manual way to do the job while you try a tool.
