Make Credit Calculator
Most executed Make modules consume one credit, but routers and error-handler modules are documented exceptions and some AI or advanced operations can consume credits at a different rate.
Baseline formula
Monthly workflow runs × credit-consuming module actions per run = estimated baseline credits
Example
2,000 runs with 5 credit-consuming module actions per run models about 10,000 Make credits per month.
Interactive calculator
Enter your workload and compare the modeled usage.
The same calculator keeps all three providers visible so the billing-unit difference stays explicit.
Updated estimate. Zapier: 2K tasks, $69 per month, billed annually. Make: 2K credits, $9 per month, billed annually. n8n: 400 executions, €20 per month, billed annually
Example workloads
Presets change workload only. Billing mode stays as selected.

Billing cadence
Prices stay expressed per month for comparison; annual plans also show the full amount billed per year.

Normalized workload
2K
This uses the same normalized whole-number inputs as the pricing engine.
We do not invent unpublished tier prices.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.

Exact prices are shown only where a published tier matches the selected cadence and modeled workload. Provider-specific usage exceptions can still change actual consumption. Some provider links are affiliate links and may earn AutomationCosts a commission at no extra cost to you.
Guidance
What to count — and what not to count.
Count modules that actually execute, not every module visible on the canvas.
Exclude documented zero-credit routing and error-handler modules from the baseline step count.
Model dynamic-rate AI and advanced operations separately when needed.
The current exact price matrix covers the published 10k-credit monthly and annual entry tiers; higher slider prices remain a live check.
