Key takeaways

  • Models. Make model choice: Vendor managed, or bring your own LLM key. TODO for AI includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok on paid plans. Pick the model for each job; let another review the result.
  • Benchmark. TODO for AI scored 91.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 with Opus 5.5 (high) (own harness, 81/89 tasks, 2026-10-26; not an official leaderboard submission).
  • Price. Make pricing: Free 1,000 credits/month with 2 active scenarios, Core $9, Pro $16, Teams $29 per month at 10,000 credits, Enterprise custom. TODO for AI has a free plan (Claude Sonnet only), then Starter $20, Pro $100 or Ultra $200 a month with the supported multi-vendor catalog.
  • Shared business work. TODO for AI: Your whole team and its AI agents, on one board. Shared company context, brand voice and memory. AI working in your connected tools, signed-in browser and machines.
  • Included usage. One shared pool of credits, with the cloud VM and browser included. Personal session and weekly limits apply. Credit usage depends on the model; see the pricing page for plan details.
  • Who should pick which. Pick Make if the process repeats and is worth drawing once. Pick TODO for AI if Tasks are one-offs you would rather describe than diagram.

Positioning

Where our product fits

Where the work lives

One board for the company’s work.
People decide. Agents do the work.

Your whole team and its AI agents, on one board. Shared company context, brand voice and memory. AI working in your connected tools, signed-in browser and machines.

Chase the invoice. Ship the website update. Prepare the report. Fix the code. Every task keeps its request, contributors and result together, ready for the next colleague or agent to pick up.

Keep Make where it fits. Bring the rest of the company’s backlog here.

Plans and usage limits
Context

What Make is, and where it stops

Make is what you pick when Zapier's linear steps stop being enough. The canvas shows branching, iteration and error handling as a diagram, the per-run cost is lower, and AI agents come on every plan including Free. Being able to attach your own LLM key is a genuinely unusual bit of openness in this category.

It is still a builder. Value starts after you have drawn the scenario, which makes it excellent for work that repeats and pointless for the task you would rather describe once. Credits meter each module action, so the elaborate scenarios you were encouraged to build are also the expensive ones, and unused credits expire with the term.

Teams who want Zapier-style automation with more control and a lower per-run cost.
Why people switch

Three reasons Make users look elsewhere

01
Draw it first

A scenario has to exist before anything runs. For a one-off task, building the diagram costs more than doing the work by hand.

02
Complexity is the meter

Roughly a credit per module action means the branching, iterating scenarios Make is good at are the ones that drain the pool fastest.

03
No machine behind it

Modules and connectors only. No shell, no file system, no session in your Chrome, so anything without a decent API is out of reach.

Make · what it meters

Credits, roughly one per module action, so a long scenario costs more per run than a short one. Credits expire at the end of the term and scenarios stop when they run out. AI agents are on every plan and draw from the same pool, or you supply your own LLM key.

Verdict

Bottom line

Our take
Make is the best visual automation builder in this list and the right answer for repeatable multi-step processes on a budget. The difference is the starting point: Make begins with a diagram, TODO for AI begins with a sentence. If most of your work repeats, build it in Make; if most of it is one-off and needs a machine, a repo or a browser session, that is our half.
FAQ

Common questions

Is TODO for AI a Make alternative?
For repeatable multi-step scenarios, no, Make is better at that and cheaper per run. For work that arrives as a one-off task and needs a shell, a repo or a real browser session, yes.
Can Make AI agents run code?
Make Code App runs code inside a scenario at 2 credits per second of execution. That is not a shell on your machine: no persistent files, no repo, no logged-in browser.
What does Make cost compared to Zapier?
Make starts at $9 a month for 10,000 credits against Zapier's $19.99 entry, and meters per module action rather than per successful step. Make's credits expire at the end of the term.
Can I use my own model?
Yes, Make lets you attach your own LLM key. TODO for AI includes Claude, GPT, Gemini and Grok in the plan price, or you can point an agent at a local Ollama model.
