Zapier — Team 5,000 tasks
Overage: Pay-per-task overage is opt-in. Upper bound, estimated at 1.25x the plan's base rate (about $0.0298 per task; Zapier product update). Zaps pause at 15,000 tasks (3x the plan). Never used to rank.
- Every successful billable action is a task; triggers and built-in steps (Filter/Formatter/Path) cost 0 tasks.
- Free is two-step only (trigger + 1 action, no built-in steps, no webhooks).
- SSO needs Team (max 25 seats).
Make — Enterprise
Overage: Scenarios stop at the credit limit; upgrade, buy credit packs or go Enterprise. No overage dollar amount is modeled.
- 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.
n8n Cloud — Cloud with SSO
- 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.
n8n Business (self-hosted licence) — Business
- Self-hosted, not n8n Cloud: you run the infrastructure (not included). No affiliate link.
- Includes 40,000 executions, then €4,000 per started 300,000.
