Mailparser vs Make

Mailparser

• Copying lead or order emails into a CRM or spreadsheet
• Recurring emails that follow a consistent layout
• Teams that want rule-based extraction without writing code

Make

• Building multi-step, branching automations on a visual canvas
• Individuals and small teams that want unlimited scenarios at a low entry price
• Trying automation on a free plan with no time limit

Mailparser

• There is no free plan: the trial lasts 30 days and includes 30 credits.
• Images and scanned documents cannot be parsed; the vendor points to its separate product, Docparser, for documents that need OCR.
• On Starter, multi-factor authentication, duplicate detection, webhook retries and modifying extracted data are paid add-ons, and no team members are listed.
• When a paid plan runs out of credits, new emails wait in the queue until more credits are bought, the plan is upgraded or the cycle resets.

Make

• The Free plan allows only 2 active scenarios and 1,000 credits a month, with at least 15 minutes between scheduled runs.
• Credits expire at the end of each term, and extra credits cost 25% more than those included in the plan.
• Teams and roles, custom variables and enterprise apps are not part of the Free plan.
• The $9 price applies to annual billing; the pricing page says annual billing saves 15% or more over monthly.

Mailparser

Custom parsing rules

Rules that you set up pull fields from an email's subject, header, body and attachments, and can capture details such as the sender and recipients.

Automatic rule generation and templates

A parser creator analyzes the structure of an email and generates rules for it, and a library of rule templates covers emails from popular sites in several industries.

Attachment parsing

Text is read from PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT and XML attachments, and spreadsheet rows can be extracted as tables. Images and scanned documents are not supported.

Routing to inboxes

Emails in different formats can all be forwarded to one address; routing rules then pass each message to the inbox it belongs to, so no mail filters are needed on the sending side.

Exports, integrations and webhooks

Parsed data downloads as XLS, CSV, JSON or XML, or is sent on to tools such as Google Sheets and Salesforce, to Zapier, or to any endpoint by webhook.

Data manipulation and cleanup

Extracted data can be reformatted, with sums, minimums, maximums and calculated columns. Emails and parsed data can be erased automatically minutes, hours or days after parsing.

Make

Visual scenario builder

Scenarios are built by placing app modules on a canvas and linking them with routers and filters, so branching logic is visible at a glance.

3,000+ pre-built apps

Make lists more than 3,000 app integrations, among them OpenAI, HubSpot, Salesforce and Slack. Access to enterprise apps comes with the paid plan.

Credit-based billing

Most module actions use 1 credit. The paid plan starts at 5,000 credits a month, and extra credits are sold in bundles of 1,000 or 10,000 at 25% more than plan credits.

AI agents, Maia and MCP

AI agents can be built to orchestrate workflows, Maia builds automations from a conversation, and the Make MCP server lets outside AI assistants trigger scenarios.

Make Grid

Make Grid gives a map of an organization's scenarios and how they connect, to keep a large automation setup under control.

Teams, variables and API

The paid plan adds teams and team roles, custom variables, full-text search of execution logs and access to more than 300 Make API endpoints.
