Lodol vs Make

Pay for the run, not each step in it.

Make bills in credits, and most actions in a scenario use one each time they run. Lodol counts a run once, however many steps it takes, and your AI can build the workflow for you.

Where they differ

Three things to know before choosing Make

Each one is a row of the table below, with its source.

  1. A run is one run

    Make's credits are used by each action a scenario performs, most of them one credit each. A Lodol run counts once, so adding a step doesn't raise what each run costs.

  2. AI decisions come with the run

    Write a condition as a sentence, like “the customer sounds upset”, and Lodol decides which way a run goes, with no AI account or key and nothing extra per run. On Make, AI features can use more credits than other actions.

  3. Single sign-on without Enterprise

    On Make, single sign-on comes with Enterprise. Lodol's Pro plan includes single sign-on and SCIM, from $120 a month.

If you need one of the 3,500+ apps Make connects to that Lodol doesn't, or you like building on Make's canvas, Make is a good choice. If you'd rather your AI build the workflow and pay the same for a run however many steps it takes, that's Lodol, and it has a visual editor too.
