Best Make alternatives in 2026 (free and paid)

Make charges in credits, and that is where most complaints start. Every module action consumes a credit, so complex scenarios burn through an allowance fast. The Free plan gives 1,000 credits a month, 2 active scenarios and a 15-minute minimum interval between runs. Code execution costs 2 credits per second. Paid plans start at Core, $9/mo for 10k credits, and team features need the $29/mo Teams plan or higher.

Zapier is the mainstream no-code option: its Professional plan starts at $19.99/mo for 750 tasks a month, there is a free plan, and it connects 9,000+ apps. That is a task-based model rather than per-module credits, which can be easier to estimate. n8n is aimed at technical teams building AI agents and integrations, and can be cloud-hosted or self-hosted; it has a free option, but a starting price is not stated in our verified data.
