Make vs Render: Pricing Comparison (2026)
Make starts at $10.59/mo. Render starts at $25/mo. Make is $14.41/mo cheaper on the entry tier than Render.
Visual workflow automation (formerly Integromat), positioned as the power-user alternative to Zapier. Distinctive for its visual scenario builder that handles complex multi-branch logic Zapier can't. Priced per operation with 1,000 free ops/month. Popular with developers, ops teams, and agencies who hit Zapier's complexity ceiling. Growing share from Zapier and losing some to n8n (self-hostable) as low-code automation splinters into three tiers by user sophistication.
PaaS positioned as the alternative to Heroku for developers who want simple Docker/Node deploys with Postgres and Redis included. Distinctive for a genuine free tier for personal projects and its focus on Docker-native deploys (Vercel/Netlify are frontend-only). Priced $19-$225/mo across four tiers. Popular with Series A/B startups migrating off Heroku after its 2022 free-tier removal, indie hackers, and Rails/Django teams.
