The visual scenario builder
Each step is a bubble, connected to the next by a line. The first bubble watches for an event, and the ones after it take action. You drag information from one step to another, without writing anything technical.

Make pricing, use cases, and first steps
Make gets your apps working together, without you copying anything by hand. You draw a “scenario”: a series of steps connected by lines. For example, when a form is filled out, Make adds a row to your tracking sheet, then sends an email. After that, it runs on its own.
Make has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Free, $0. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Make does
Who it’s for: Teams that repeat the same copy-and-paste every day between a form, a spreadsheet, a messaging app, and a customer management tool.

Make pricing
Prices in dollars, checked from France on October 3, 2026 and rechecked on October 4 in a browser, for 10,000 credits per month. Monthly: $10.59, $18.82, and $34.12; billed yearly: $9, $16, and $29 per month. Viewed from outside France the same day, the page shows $12, $21, and $38 per month: the exact price appears at checkout. The price rises with the number of credits. Extra credits cost 25% more than the plan’s credits. When credits run out, scenarios stop until credits are added.

What the free plan includes
1,000 credits per month, 2 active scenarios, one check every 15 minutes at best. More than 3,000 apps, filters and routers included. One action in a step usually costs 1 credit.
Nova’s advice
Stay on the free plan as long as two scenarios are enough. Move to Core the day you need a third, or more frequent checks. Before you pay, look at your credit usage: that is what sets the price.
Free or paid: how usage is counted
Every action in your scenario spends one credit. You have a pool of credits for the month.

Your data. When you create your workspace, you choose whether your data is hosted in the European Union or the United States.
What it does less well
- The website, help center, and button names are available in English only.
- Every check uses one credit, even when there is nothing new. A scenario that checks every 15 minutes spends 96 credits a day on that step alone: the free plan won’t cover it.
A completed form creates a row and sends an emailMake- Set up a Google Forms form called “Quote request” and a Google Sheets spreadsheet called “Request tracking,” with the columns Name, Email, and Need.
- In Make, click “+ Create scenario” at the top right.
- In the chat with the Maia assistant, on the left, paste the prompt below.
- Maia places the steps one by one as you watch. When it asks for access, click “Create a connection,” then “Sign in with Google.”
- Fill out the form yourself once, then click “Run once.” Check the new row in the spreadsheet and the email you received.
- Click “Save,” then click “Activate scenario.”
The prompt to copy
When someone fills out my Google Forms form “Quote request,” add a row to my Google Sheets spreadsheet “Request tracking” with the name, email, and need. Then send me an email that summarizes the request.
