Make’s free plan: is it enough for your first workflow?
Automation
Start with a small task. Then count the usage, the errors and the time it takes to keep it working.

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
- Your plan and its current limits: check the official documentation.
- How long setup, troubleshooting and monthly upkeep take.
- What works, what fails, and how you get it running again.
- The renewal date, how to export your data, and how to cancel.
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.
