Why this workload matters

The meter can matter as much as the published price.

With one billable step per run, the baseline Zapier task and Make credit estimates match the run count numerically.
n8n still meters the workload as 10,000 workflow executions because step count does not multiply Cloud executions.
Keeping the step count at one makes it easier to separate pure run-volume effects from workflow complexity.

We do not invent unpublished tier prices. Zapier usage here assumes standard 1-task steps; AI, MCP and extended code usage can consume tasks at different rates.
