Who should pick which
Both count usage the same basic way (credits vs credits), so the plan price per unit decides it.
- Pick Make on price if your volume looks like 500 × 3, 2,000 × 5, 10,000 × 5, 50,000 × 10 (runs × steps a month).
- Pipedream was not the cheaper option in any scenario we priced, so it only makes sense for reasons other than price.
Worked example: 2,000 runs × 5 steps
- Make: 2,000 runs × 5 steps = 12,000 credits a month → Core plan, $10.80 estimate.
- Pipedream: 2,000 runs × 5 steps = 10,000 credits a month → Startup plan, $99.00.
Annual billing. Make also counts the trigger module as a credit.
