Rerun

Rerun vs Make

Make builds automations as visual scenarios, one module at a time. Rerun gives you AI agents that take the goal and handle the steps themselves.

Last reviewed , against each product’s public pricing and docs.

The short answer

Pick Make when you want precise control over branching and data mapping on a canvas, and a credit price per action that is hard to beat at volume. Pick Rerun when the work needs judgment and you would rather not rebuild a scenario each time an input changes. Rerun is a flat $29 a month, with no credit spent per module.

Choose Make if

  • You like designing the exact data path yourself
  • Your volume is high and every run follows the same path
  • You need a specific app from their 3,500+ catalog

Choose Rerun if

  • Your scenarios keep growing routers and error handlers
  • You want the job done, not a canvas to maintain
  • Loops and polling are burning through your credits
  • You need an agent that remembers context between runs

Side by side

Rerun vs Make at a glance.

A Make scenario passes data from module to module. A Rerun agent answers the lead, chases the invoice and learns from your corrections.

Setting it up
Place each module on a canvas and map the data between them, or let the AI assistant draft a first scenario you maintain after that.
Describe the outcome in a sentence and connect your apps. The agent plans the steps itself.
A case it has not seen
The scenario follows its routes, so a new kind of input means another router or filter. Its AI agents pick their tools at run time, inside the scenario you built around them.
The agent reads each input, decides what to do and asks you when it is unsure.
Files, code, a browser
Code runs inside a module, and nothing keeps files or a browser between runs.
Your workspace’s private machine: files, scripts, a browser and databases, all kept between runs.
What it remembers
Nothing carries over unless you design a data store and read it back.
It writes down what you corrected and keeps its own files and tables between runs.
The AI behind it
Make’s AI Provider, billed in credits that vary with the tokens, or your own OpenAI or Anthropic key on a paid plan, at a credit per operation.
Run on the Rerun model included in the plan, sign in with the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already pay for, or bring an API key.
What running it costs
One credit per module action by default, some features billed dynamically on tokens, file size or run time, and 1,000 credits a month on the free plan.
$29 a month for 5 agents. Rerun counts neither runs nor steps.

Key differences

Where Rerun and Make part ways.

Four differences that change your day to day, shown on the real product.

No canvas to wire

Connect your stack

A Make scenario is a chain of modules you place and map, even when its AI assistant drafts the first one, and an AI agent you add decides inside the scenario you built around it. A Rerun agent gets a job description, signs in to Gmail, Notion or Stripe, reaches 3,000+ apps and any MCP server, and plans the whole job itself.

Memory without building data stores

See how it learns

In Make, anything a scenario should remember goes into a data store you design. Rerun agents keep memory, files and databases on their machine, and read one company brain with your offer and your tone, so they learn that this client always pays late without you adding a filter.

Files and scripts, not just modules

Give it a machine

In Make, everything happens inside the modules you place, and nothing survives the run. A Rerun agent works on your workspace’s private machine: it writes files, runs scripts, drives a browser, uses an app on screen like a person, and keeps its own databases between runs.

No credit per module

Automate a task

Make spends a credit on every module action by default, bills some features on the tokens, the file size or the run time, and its AI agent’s chat spends credits too, so loops add up. Rerun is one plan from $29 a month, and runs are never counted.

FAQ

Rerun vs Make, your questions.

Is Rerun a Make alternative?

Yes, when the work needs judgment rather than a fixed path. Make is excellent at precise data routing. Rerun agents read the input, decide what to do and ask you before anything risky.

Does Rerun use credits or operations like Make?

No. Rerun is a flat plan from $29 a month and never counts runs. You only add capacity, like agents or model credit, when you need it, and seats are free.

How is Rerun different from Make AI Agents?

A Make agent takes a goal and picks its tools, modules, scenarios or MCP tools, but it lives inside the scenario you built around it and spends credits on every operation. A Rerun agent is the product itself: it owns the whole job, lives on your workspace’s private machine with its files, databases and memory, and you watch its work on a live board.

Can I keep Make and Rerun side by side?

Yes. Many teams keep simple, high-volume scenarios in Make and give the tasks that need judgment to Rerun agents.

Do I need to learn a canvas to use Rerun?

No. There is no canvas. You describe the job in plain words, connect your apps, and the agent sets itself up.
