lilAgents or Make?

Make lets you build AI agents and automations on a visual canvas, and its approval step is still an Enterprise beta. The difference is who builds it, who watches it, and who teaches your team.

Question	Make	lilAgents
What it costs	Free for 1,000 credits a month. In the US, Core is $12 a month billed yearly ($16 monthly), Pro $21, and Teams $38, for 10,000 credits a month; more credits cost more. Enterprise is custom.	Sign month one; if it isn't earning its keep within 14 days, cancel and pay nothing. Then a fixed price per automation, agreed up front, and one flat monthly fee for supervision. Software is billed to your own accounts at cost.
Asking before it acts	Limited. Its Human in the Loop app is on the Enterprise plan and in closed beta. On other plans, Make suggests giving an agent a tool that sends its output to you to review, and warns that agents can still ignore their guardrails. Make AI Agents is in open beta.	Built in. Anything with outside impact waits for a person, and a person on our team checks the work. For the first week, they check every write.
Setting it up	Self-serve, with no credit card for the free plan, which includes 90 days of expert access to get started. Expert onboarding is on Enterprise, and Make lists certified partners who build for hire.	Done for you, in your own accounts. If you leave, it keeps running.
Help and training	Technical support on paid plans, dedicated consultants on Teams, and 24/7 support on Enterprise, plus free Make Academy courses and thousands of templates.	A person on our team you can reach by name, and regular check-ins where we teach your team how it works.
If you stop paying	Scenarios run in Make's cloud. When you cancel, Make moves you to the Free plan, and scenarios that use paid features stop. You can export scenarios as blueprint files.	Everything runs in accounts in your name, so it keeps running. We remove our access and hand you a one-page runbook of what runs where.

Questions.

Is lilAgents an alternative to Make?

For some teams. Make is a platform you build on yourself, on a visual canvas. lilAgents is a team that sets up AI agents in your accounts, supervises them, and teaches your team how they work, so it's the alternative when you'd rather not be the one building and watching it.

Can Make AI agents ask for approval before they act?

Partly. Make's Human in the Loop app is on its Enterprise plan and in closed beta. On other plans, Make suggests adding a tool that sends the agent's output to you to review and explaining that step in the agent's instructions, and it warns that agents can still ignore or misread their guardrails. Checked October 28, 2026.

How much does Make cost?

Make has a free plan with 1,000 credits a month. In the US, Core starts at $12 a month billed yearly for 10,000 credits, and more credits cost more. Each module action counts as one credit, and AI agent runs also use credits for AI tokens.

Which is cheaper?

Make, if you count only the software. With lilAgents you're paying for people too: the build, a person checking the work, upkeep, and teaching your team. You sign month one, and if it isn't earning its keep within 14 days, you cancel and pay nothing.
