Caddi vs. MakeVisual Scenarios or Automation Built for You
Make is an affordable visual builder for multi-step scenarios. Caddi builds and maintains the automation for the operations team. Here is how they differ, and when each is the right call.

Make and Caddi solve different problems. Make (formerly Integromat) is a visual scenario builder: you drag modules onto a canvas, connect them and maintain the result. Caddi is automation built for the operations team at a law firm or RIA: the person who does the work shows it once, and Caddi builds, runs and maintains it. Reach for Make for inexpensive app-to-app scenarios; reach for Caddi when the work is document-heavy and the owner is not a builder.
| Fact | Make | Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per month by credits; one credit per module action. | Usage-based within a plan: a monthly allowance of credits and a number of active loops. Unlimited users on Team and above. |
| Published entry price | Core $12 per month, Pro $21, Teams $38 (each with 10,000 credits, billed monthly); less billed annually. Enterprise custom. | Individual $0. Team $250 per user per month. Business $6,500 per month. Enterprise custom. |
| Free tier or trial | Free plan with 1,000 credits per month and 2 active scenarios. | Individual plan, free for one user with no time limit (200 credits and 10 loops per month). |
| Sign up without a sales call | Yes. | Yes, Individual and Team sign up online. |
| Who builds and maintains it | Your team builds each scenario in the visual editor and maintains it. | You show it on a screenshare or describe it in chat, and change it in plain English as the work changes; Caddi builds it as verified code and maintains it. |
Where a vendor does not publish pricing the row says so, and any figure given is a third-party report.
The core difference
With Make, the value is the canvas: routers, iterators and filters that handle branching well, at a low monthly price. You still design each scenario, map every field and fix it when an app or an input changes. With Caddi, the operations person shows the workflow once on a screen share and Caddi builds it as deterministic code; AI builds it, verified code runs it, and any model step inside a run is scoped, logged and reviewable.
Caddi vs. Make at a glance
| Make | Caddi | |
|---|---|---|
| Who builds it | Whoever builds the scenario on the canvas | The ops person who does the work, by showing it once |
| Hosting | Hosted by Make | Fully managed |
| Pricing model | Credits, one per module action | Plan-based credits and active loops |
| Documents and inboxes | Configured module by module | Varied PDFs and shared inboxes handled in the workflow |
| Maintenance | Your team re-maps scenarios as apps change | Caddi keeps it running |
| Governance | Scenario history and logs you review | Every run logged, reviewable and traceable |
How they score where it counts
When Make is the right call
Make is the right call if someone on your team enjoys building visual scenarios, your workflows are mostly app-to-app with clean data, and a low monthly price matters more than having the work built for you.
When Caddi is the right call
Caddi is the better fit when the process owner is not a builder, the work runs through documents and inboxes, you need it to reach systems like Clio, iManage or Salesforce, and every run has to be on the record.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Caddi and Make?
Make is a hosted visual builder: you assemble scenarios from modules on a canvas and maintain them. Caddi is automation built for the operations team: the person who does the work shows it once, Caddi builds it as deterministic code, runs it across your tools and maintains it, with every run logged and reviewable.
Is Caddi or Make better for law firms and RIAs?
If someone enjoys building scenarios and the work is app-to-app with clean data, Make is inexpensive and flexible. If the owner is not a builder and the work runs through documents and inboxes into systems like Clio, iManage or Salesforce, Caddi is usually the better fit because it is built and maintained for them.
Is Make cheaper than Caddi?
At the entry level, usually. Make has a free plan with 1,000 credits a month, and Core starts at $12 a month billed monthly. Caddi has a free Individual plan; Team is $250 per user per month. The fair comparison is total cost including the time spent building and maintaining scenarios.
Can Caddi work alongside Make?
Yes. Many teams keep simple app-to-app scenarios where they are and move the document-heavy, business-critical workflows to Caddi, where the operations team does not have to build or maintain them.
