Make review: credits, plans and client accounts for agencies

Short answer

Make bills in credits counted per module action, not per run; the Free plan includes 1,000 credits per month Per Make pricing page, read Nov 9, 2026 (source) For agencies, the strong point is client separation: Each organization has its own plan and billing, and its credits are tracked separately Per Make Help Center, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)

Running client accounts

  3. Land in your first organization

    A new account starts on the Free plan, in an organization called My Organization with one team called My Team Seen in a Make account opened Nov 9, 2026 (source)

In its favor

  • Each client can have its own organization and bill: Each organization has its own plan and billing, and its credits are tracked separately Per Make Help Center, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)
  • A finished account can be handed to the client: The owner can hand the organization over to another member Per Make Help Center, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)
  • Clients can supply their app logins without seeing your work: A Guest role that mainly receives credential requests, without general access to team data Per Make Help Center, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)

Against it

  • Costs follow the number of steps, not the number of runs: Most module actions use one credit, so one scenario run can use from two credits to thousands Per Make pricing page, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)
  • Running out of credits stops client automations: Scenarios stop until credits are added; incoming webhooks wait in a queue Per Make pricing page, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)
  • Credits you do not use are lost: Unused credits expire at the end of the term Per Make pricing page, read Nov 9, 2026 (source)

Which to pick

Pick Make if

You want each client in its own organization, with its own plan and bill, and the option to hand the account over when the project ends.

Look elsewhere if

Your scenarios have many steps and run often, since every module action uses credits, or if you need to host the tool on your own servers.

This verdict follows from Make's pricing page, its Help Center and opening a Free account, not from running client work on Make.
