The catch, per option

• Zapier — Professional 20,000 tasks
  Overage: Pay-per-task is on (on by default for accounts created after January 2024; older accounts may need to opt in). Overage rate not published (charged at a higher per-task rate than plan tasks). Zaps stop at 3× your plan's task limit (plan + pay-per-task). On this plan that is 60,000 tasks. Never used to rank.
  • Every successful billable action is a task; triggers and built-in steps (Filter/Formatter/Path) cost 0 tasks.
  • Free allows unlimited Zaps, but two-step only (trigger + 1 action, no built-in steps, no webhooks).
  • Standard actions use 1 task. AI model tier, code runtime and connector type affect how many tasks an action uses. One MCP tool call uses two tasks. Extended Code runtime (off by default, not on Free) beyond the included runtime uses 1 task per 30-second block.
  • Verified price without overage: next tier that covers the volume ($189.00/mo). With pay-per-task: overage rate not published (staying on the 10,000-task plan means paying for 2,000 extra tasks, cap 30,000 tasks), so no total is shown.
• Make — Core 20,000 credits
  Overage: Scenarios stop at the credit limit; upgrade, buy extra credits or go Enterprise.
  provisional Core 10,000 credits + 5,000 extra credits (manual purchase, units of 1,000 credits) would be about $14.63/mo against $16.00/mo for the next tier. Not ranked. Assumption: Make does not state which per-credit price the 25% is added to on annual plans. Assumed: the annual plan's own per-credit price (annual price per month divided by the plan's credits). Auto-purchase instead (units of 10,000 credits, capped at the plan's credit count): 10,000 extra credits, about $20.25/mo. Make doesn't publish a limit on manual purchases. Very large top-ups may cost less on a higher plan. Make shows each plan's price per 1,000 credits (the plan price divided by its credits); extra credits cost 25% more than that rate. Totals may differ by a few cents from Make's checkout. On annual plans, see the assumption on /sources/.
  • 1 credit per module action including the trigger read; Router and error handlers are free and are not entered (1 trigger + 4 billable actions per run).
  • When credits run out, scenarios stop; unused credits expire.
  • Scheduled (polling) triggers use 1 credit per check even when nothing is found: hourly is 720 credits a month, every 5 minutes is 8,640 (help.make.com, read 2026-10-17). Not included in this total. https://help.make.com/step-10-schedule-your-scenario
  • Same volume on Pro: $29.00/mo; Teams: $53.00/mo.
• n8n Cloud — Pro-1
  • One execution = one whole workflow run, so step count does not change the price.
  • No auto-overage on Starter/Pro-1: upgrade or one-time reset.
  • Priced in EUR; converted with the exchange rate you set.
