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.
Pick Make when you want precise control over branching and data mapping on a canvas, at a low price per operation. Pick Rerun when the work needs judgment and you would rather not rebuild a scenario each time an input changes. Rerun is a flat $24 a month, with no credits spent per module.
Rerun does what they do, without wiring the scenario.
Four differences that change your day to day, shown on the real product.
A Make scenario is a chain of modules you place and map. A Rerun agent gets a job description, connects to Gmail, Notion or any of 190+ apps, and plans the steps itself.
In Make, anything a scenario should remember goes into a data store you design. Rerun agents keep memory, files and databases on their Box, so they learn that this client always pays late without you adding a filter.
## Procedure
1. Pull unpaid invoices from Stripe daily
2. Send a first reminder on day 7 past due
3. Escalate to the account owner after 2 tries
4. Log every touch in the CRM thread
## Exceptions
- Never chase an invoice under $50
- Read references/tone.md before escalating
## Billing
- Pays around day 30, sometimes later
- A PO number is required on every invoice
- Invoices go to ap@acme.co, not to Dana
## People
- Dana Reyes runs ops, answers within a day
- Escalations go through their COO
## Voice
- English, formal, no emoji
- Sign off as the founder, not an assistant
- Keep it under 120 words
## Timing
- Follow up twice, then stop
- Send whenever the draft is ready
An agent pauses before anything consequential and asks you in the app. No extra module, no webhook to wire back.
Make spends a credit on every module action, so loops add up. Rerun is one plan from $24 a month with unlimited runs.

Read the comparisonYes, 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.
No. Rerun is a flat plan from $24 a month. Runs are unlimited, and you only add capacity, like agents, Boxes or seats, when you need it.
Make AI Agents run inside scenarios and are in beta at the time of writing. A Rerun agent is the product itself: it lives on its own private Box, keeps memory and files between runs, and you watch its work on a live dashboard.
Yes. Many teams keep simple, high-volume scenarios in Make and give the tasks that need judgment to Rerun agents.
No. There is no canvas. You describe the job in plain words, connect your apps, and the agent sets itself up.
