How to Prepare for the New Make.com Pricing and Plan Changes

The upcoming pricing and plan adjustments at make.com can affect your scenarios, budgets, and team collaboration. This how-to guide walks you step by step through understanding the changes, checking how they impact your account, and preparing your organization so your automations keep running smoothly.

1. Understand why Make.com is changing pricing

Before you take action, it helps to understand the goals behind the new structure. According to the official announcement, the new pricing and plans are designed to:

• Reflect the evolving value of the platform as features and capabilities grow.
• Align plan limits and pricing more closely with how customers actually use operations.
• Encourage best practices for scenario design and resource consumption.
• Give clearer, more predictable billing for teams and organizations.

The details and any later adjustments are always published on the official support page, which you should monitor regularly: upcoming adjustments to plans and pricing.

2. Check when the Make.com changes apply to your account

The new structure at make.com does not necessarily start on the same date for every user. The timeline may depend on factors such as:

• Your current plan type (Free, Core, Team, Enterprise, legacy plan, or custom plan).
• Your billing cycle (monthly vs. annual).
• Contract terms if you are on an enterprise or custom agreement.

To see when the change applies to you:

1. Sign in to your make.com account.
2. Go to your Organization or Billing section.
3. Look for notifications or banners highlighting the effective date of the new plan.
4. Compare renewal dates with the date ranges described on the official announcement page.

If you are unsure, contact support or your account representative and reference your current plan name and renewal date.

3. Review your current Make.com plan and usage

Next, you need a clear picture of how you use make.com today so you can map it to the new structure.

3.1 Locate your current Make.com plan

Within the platform:

1. Open the main navigation and select Organization.
2. Go to Subscription or Plans & Billing.
3. Note your current plan name, included operations, and any add-ons.

Record the following:

• Monthly operation allowance.
• Number of active scenarios.
• Number of users and roles.
• Any custom limits or enterprise features.

3.2 Analyze your Make.com operation consumption

The new pricing is strongly linked to operation usage. To analyze it:

1. Open your Usage or Operations report.
2. Filter by the last full billing cycle.
3. Identify peak days and peak hours of operation use.
4. List which scenarios consume the most operations.

This data will help you judge whether your existing plan will still cover your usage or whether you may enter overages under the new rules.

4. Map your current usage to the new Make.com plans

The official announcement describes how existing plans transition to the new set of plans at make.com. Use that mapping to understand your future limits.

4.1 Identify your target Make.com plan tier

Using the details on the pricing update page:

1. Find your current plan in the Legacy Plan column or section.
2. Locate the corresponding New Plan name.
3. Compare included operations, scenario limits, and user seats.

Make a simple table for your internal review:

• Current plan: name and operation limit.
• New mapped plan: name and operation limit.
• Difference: operations gained or reduced, and any new restrictions.

4.2 Evaluate potential overages on Make.com

Overages may apply if your operation usage exceeds the allowance of your new plan. To evaluate:

1. Take your average monthly operations from your recent billing cycles.
2. Compare that number with the new plan operation limit.
3. Estimate how many operations you would exceed under the new rules.
4. Multiply the excess by the overage rate described in the official documentation (if available to you).

This estimate will help you decide whether to optimize scenarios, upgrade to a higher tier, or accept occasional overages as part of your cost structure.

5. Optimize scenarios before the Make.com changes take effect

To control costs under the new make.com pricing structure, reduce unnecessary operations and inefficient workflows.

5.1 Identify high-cost scenarios

Within your account, sort or filter scenarios by operations consumed in the last period. Focus on scenarios that:

• Run on very frequent schedules (e.g., every minute).
• Process high volumes of data or large bundles.
• Contain loops, searches, or complex filtering.
• Use multiple routers or branches that may trigger extra operations.

5.2 Apply common Make.com optimization techniques

Before the new structure applies, implement these techniques:

• Reduce schedule frequency: Change from every minute to every 5, 10, or 15 minutes when the use case allows.
• Use webhooks: Replace frequent polling with webhook triggers to only run when data actually changes.
• Filter early: Add filters at the beginning of a flow to drop irrelevant data before it reaches heavy modules.
• Batch operations: Use modules that process multiple items in one run where possible.
• Remove unused modules: Delete or disable steps that no longer add value.

Recheck your operation reports after optimization to confirm the impact before the new pricing fully applies.

6. Adjust your budget and approvals for the new Make.com pricing

Once you know your new plan mapping and estimated operations, update your internal budgets.

1. Calculate your projected monthly and yearly cost under the new model.
2. Include a realistic buffer for growth or seasonal spikes.
3. Share a summary with finance and key stakeholders.
4. Confirm who can approve plan upgrades or new add-ons on make.com.

For organizations with many departments using automation, consider a central contact person to coordinate requests, monitor usage, and prevent unnecessary upgrades.

7. Communicate the Make.com changes to your team

Team members who build or maintain scenarios need to understand how the make.com changes affect how they work.

7.1 Create internal guidelines

Draft a short internal guide that covers:

• Which team or person owns plan decisions.
• Best practices for efficient scenario design.
• When to request approval for new high-volume integrations.
• Expectations for monitoring error rates and operation spikes.

7.2 Train key builders and admins

Run a short internal workshop or documentation review where you:

• Walk through the new plan limits.
• Explain overage behavior and why it matters.
• Show how to read operation usage reports on make.com.
• Review the optimization changes you already implemented.

8. Monitor your Make.com account after the switch

Once the new system is live on your account, use the first one or two billing cycles as a test period.

1. Check operation usage weekly for unexpected spikes.
2. Monitor invoices or billing previews for overages.
3. Review scenario error logs to ensure no flows stop due to limits.
4. Adjust schedules and filters as needed based on real data.

Keep an eye on the official help page because make.com may refine details, add clarifications, or introduce transition aids.

9. Use expert resources to refine your Make.com setup

If your organization runs many mission-critical automations, you may want expert help to align your implementation with the new make.com structure.

• Consider consulting partners who specialize in scenario architecture, governance, and cost control.
• Review best practices from automation and integration experts.
• Document a stable, scalable blueprint for future projects.

For additional strategy, automation architecture, and optimization support, you can review resources at Consultevo, which focuses on digital operations and workflow design.

10. Keep Make.com pricing changes under continuous review

Pricing structures evolve over time as features and platform capabilities expand. To stay aligned with the current make.com model:

• Bookmark the official update page and review it regularly.
• Reassess your plan at least once per year or after major new projects.
• Encourage scenario builders to treat operations as a measurable resource, just like compute or storage.

By following these steps, you can adapt smoothly to the new pricing and plan adjustments on make.com, protect your automation reliability, and manage costs in a predictable, transparent way.
