Make

A closer look at Make

Make is a visual AI workflow automation platform: build and manage AI agents and automations in one visual landscape, connecting apps, data sources, and AI models, by prompt, drag-and-drop, or from Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI chats, with a free plan that has no time limit.

Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.

When to choose Make

• Teams who want to build automations visually and connect apps, data sources, and AI models in one place.
• Users who want to start from a prompt, drag-and-drop, or an existing AI chat such as Claude or ChatGPT.
• New automation users who want a free plan with no time limit to learn the platform before paying.

When to choose something else

• Users who want unlimited free automation volume, since the Free plan is stated as 1000 credits per month with 1 MB of data storage and 1 data store.
• Users who expect unused credits to roll over, since the pricing page states credits expire at the end of the term.
• Users who want a single-app automation tool rather than a platform for connecting many apps, data sources, and models.

A practical starting workflow

1. Start free on the Free plan with no credit card required and no time limit.
2. Build by prompt, drag-and-drop, or from Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI chat, connecting the apps, data sources, and models the workflow needs.
3. Run the automation in the visual landscape and scale to a paid plan when credit, storage, or data store needs grow.

Check before committing

• Only the Free plan allowance is structured as a fact; paid plan amounts on the pricing page are not asserted as charge facts in this entry.
• The 500,000+ teams figure is the homepage's own claim, not an independently verified count.
