Make vs Parseur

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

Parseur

• Turning recurring emails such as leads or order notifications into spreadsheet rows
• Accounts payable teams extracting invoice and purchase order data
• Developers who want a document extraction API with webhooks

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.

Parseur

• The free tier stops at 20 pages a month with 1 user and 90 days of document retention.
• Multi-user accounts and Python post-processing need a Scale tier plan of 10,000 pages a month or more, which starts at $499 a month.
• At 100% of the monthly quota new documents stop processing until renewal, an upgrade or a top-up. Unused credits on monthly plans do not carry over.
• Data is processed and stored in the European Union, and the site lists HIPAA compliance as in progress.

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.

Parseur

Document capture

Each workflow gets a mailbox with its own email address. Documents come in by forwarded email, drag-and-drop upload or the REST API, in more than 25 file formats.

AI and template parsing engines

Vision AI reads visual layouts, Text AI reads plain text, and templates handle fixed forms. All three can run in one mailbox, and table extraction covers line items.

Built-in OCR

Scans and photos are read by OCR that the vendor says covers more than 200 languages, including handwriting.

Normalization and validation

Dates, numbers, addresses and choice fields are formatted and checked against the mailbox schema. Scale tier plans add Python post-processing for custom logic.

Exports and integrations

Parsed data syncs to Google Sheets, downloads as Excel, CSV or JSON, or goes out by webhook and through Zapier, Make, Power Automate and n8n. These are included on every plan.

Logs, alerts and retention

Every processing step is logged, with alerts for failed documents, failed exports and quota limits. Retention is set per mailbox, from 1 day up to the plan's maximum.
