Make vs Gumloop
An ops team wants to automate multi-step logic without writing code and is deciding between an established visual workflow builder and a newer tool built specifically around AI agent workflows.
The difference that matters
Make starts at $9/month (Core plan, 10,000 credits/month, unlimited active scenarios, 1-minute scheduling, API access), with a free tier of 1,000 credits/month capped at 2 active scenarios, built for branching multi-step logic without code, though simple two-app triggers are quicker to set up in Zapier. Gumloop has no standing free tier currently, only a 14-day free trial of its Pro plan, which starts at $37/month (20,000 credits/month, 5 concurrent workflow runs, 25 concurrent agent chats, unlimited seats/agents, 35+ models, plus an 8% orchestration fee on usage), built for ops teams building their own AI agent workflows, though it's a poor fit for individuals at that price.
Side by side
| Make | Gumloop | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1,000 credits/mo, full visual workflow builder, capped at 2 active scenarios | None currently; 14-day free trial of the Pro plan replaces the discontinued standing free tier |
| Entry paid plan | Core plan, $9/mo, 10,000 credits/mo, unlimited active scenarios, 1-minute scheduling and API access | Pro, from $37/month: 20,000 credits/mo, 5 concurrent workflow runs, 25 concurrent agent chats, unlimited seats/agents, 35+ models, plus an 8% orchestration fee on usage |
| Bills in | Credits/month (renamed from 'operations'), not per-seat; active-scenario count is a secondary cap on the Free plan only | Credits per workflow run/execution (monthly allotment) plus separate concurrency caps (runs, agent chats), independent of seat count |
Choose Make if
You want branching multi-step automation without code at a low entry price, and are fine testing on a capped free tier.
Choose Gumloop if
You're specifically building AI agent workflows for a team, need higher concurrency and model access, and can absorb both the $37/month price and the 8% usage fee.
Our verdict
Make wins on price and a real (if capped) free tier for general branching automation. Gumloop wins for teams specifically building AI agent workflows at scale, at roughly 4 times Make's entry price plus a usage fee.
What to watch out for
Make's $9/mo Core tier and 1,000-credit free tier are confirmed on its own pricing page. Gumloop's $37/mo Pro tier (20,000 credits/month, 8% orchestration fee) and lack of a standing free tier (14-day trial only) are confirmed on its own pricing page.
