Verified Facts

• Official pricing and help pages were rechecked.
• Make should be positioned as a visual workflow builder for teams that can tolerate more setup complexity.
• Make now uses credits as its main billing unit; most non-AI actions consume one credit, while built-in AI usage can vary with operations, tokens, model, files, pages, or provider connection type.
• Make's pricing page highlights AI applications, MCP server, AI Content Extractor, AI Web Search beta, Make AI Agents beta, and AI Toolkit options.

Buyer Checks

• Map the full scenario before buying; visual workflows can become hard to maintain without naming and documentation.
• Check credit use, token rates, execution frequency, AI provider costs, beta status, and model-key requirements for the exact workflow.
