Make review: AI automation platform linking 3,500+ apps, with agents and optional code

What Make does

Builds automated workflows and AI agents that connect 3,500+ apps, created by prompt, drag-and-drop or MCP, with optional code.

Make is an AI automation platform for building workflows that move data between apps. You can create them by writing a prompt, by dragging and dropping, or through MCP, and you can add JavaScript or Python when a step needs custom logic. The vendor says it connects to 3,500+ apps out of the box, and anything with an API can be added as a custom integration.

Beyond plain workflows, the site describes AI agents that you give goals, tools and limits, with their reasoning visible. An MCP server lets you build and run automations from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. For troubleshooting, the product page lists error handlers, automatic retries, exception routing and an execution history that shows which step failed and why. For organisations, the homepage lists role-based access, audit logs, real-time analytics, SSO, encryption, and GDPR, SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3. The pricing page also mentions more than 300 REST API endpoints for managing and automating use of the platform itself.

The pricing model is freemium. The Free plan has no time limit and needs no card. It gives 1000 credits per month, 1 MB of data storage and 1 data store. Each action a workflow performs uses credits, and most actions use 1 credit. Credits expire at the end of the term, and extra credits come in bundles of 1,000 or 10,000. Companies under 20 employees can see whether they qualify for a Start-up Plan with 50% off Business. Paid-plan prices were not visible in the reviewed pages (pricing not published in the text we reviewed), so check the official pricing page for current prices.

Our take

Make fits teams that want to connect many different apps and choose how to build: by prompt, by drag-and-drop, or with some JavaScript or Python. The listed governance and security features suggest it is meant for use across a company, not only by individuals. The trade-offs are credit-based usage, where unused credits expire at the end of the term, and a Free plan whose 1000 credits per month and single data store are a small allowance. Paid-plan prices were not visible in the pages reviewed, so budgeting means confirming them on the official pricing page. The Free plan needs no card, which lowers the risk of a first try.
