Apiant vs Make (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Apiant if

• Fits if you want connections priced by usage rather than seats
• Works for small setups that stay under 2 connections on Free

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you need more than 2 connections or 7 days of run history on Free
• Pricey if usage grows, because connections, tasks and credits move you up a tier
• Watch out: credit packs cost $25 for 500 or $80 for 2,000 and expire after six months
• Watch out: apiant.com now points to apiant.ai, and the old pricing page redirects

Pick Make if

• Fits if your automation has branches and you want to see them laid out
• Works for small teams, since teams and roles come with the paid plan

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, with 2 active scenarios, 1,000 credits a month and 15 minutes between runs
• Skip it if you hate keeping count, because most module actions use a credit
• Pricey if you often run over, since extra credits cost 25% more than plan credits and unused ones expire each term
• Watch out: the $9 price is for annual billing, which the pricing page says saves 15% or more over monthly
• Not for you if you want a desktop app, as it's web, iPhone and Android only
