The usual frustrations with MCP360 are about credits. The free plan has only 100 credits per month so experiments hit the cap fast, calls consume credits by tool so workflow cost is hard to predict, and priority support only arrives on Professional at 99 USD per month or higher. An account is required before you can connect an agent, and the privacy policy covers retention only generically.
Zapier is the largest by app count: Professional starts at 19.99 USD for 750 tasks a month and there is a free tier. Make is a visual builder with a Core plan at 9 USD per month for 10k credits and a free tier. n8n is built for technical teams, can be cloud-hosted or self-hosted, and has a free option, though no starting price is stated in our data. All three are workflow tools that connect many apps rather than a managed MCP tool layer.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
Taken from the documented limitations in our MCP360 profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCP360 (this page) | $19/mo (Starter) | Yes | Web, API | The free plan has only 100 credits per month, and every call consumes credits depending on the tool, so real workloads need a paid tier. |
| Zapier | $19.99/mo (Professional) | Yes | Web, API | Free plan limited to two-step Zaps and 100 tasks per month; AI agents and chatbots require separate purchases. |
| n8n | Not published | Yes | Web, API | Cloud plans capped by monthly executions (e.g. 2.5K on Starter); Business plan self-hosted only. |
| Make | $9/mo (Core) | Yes | Web, API | Every module action consumes a credit, so complex scenarios use credits quickly |
