Free forever plan · no credit card
Make alternative
Make's free tier caps polling at every 15 minutes, so hot leads cool off before you see them. And every tool a scenario connects is its own subscription. TinyCommand schedules can run every minute on every plan, and one credit pool covers each workflow step plus the forms + DB + agents + email those workflows need.
No credit card · 1,000 free credits a month · 1-minute schedules on every plan
“If you like Make, you'll love this. It takes Make's approach and layers in AI assistance to help you build and complete workflows. There's some manual setup, but that's expected with tools like this. It's not magic; it's infrastructure.”
Why teams switch
Make's Free plan sets a 15-minute minimum between scheduled runs. TinyCommand schedules can run as often as every minute on every plan, and a TinyForms submission runs its workflow when the form is submitted.
A Make scenario burns operations, and the form tool, database and email sender it connects are separate subscriptions. In TinyCommand each workflow step uses 1 credit, from the same pool that covers forms, tables, agents and email.
Make connects to your forms, DB, and email. Every one is a connection to set up. TinyCommand IS them. The workflow just reads and writes; no field-mapping wizards.

Where it fits
When the data layer is part of the same product, the workflow gets shorter, faster, and cheaper.
Real flows
The form submission runs its own lookup and Slack alert as part of the same flow. On Make's Free plan, scheduled and polling scenarios run at most every 15 minutes.
A 5-step workflow running 100 times a day uses about 15,000 credits a month, inside Professional's 50,000, and the form, table and email it touches are on the same plan instead of separate subscriptions.
New deal closes → workflow generates SOW from a template, signs via DocuSign API, emails the customer, logs to your table.
Every payment in Stripe creates an invoice line in your accounting tool, updates the customer table, and posts to a Slack channel.

Three concrete differences: (1) workflows here share a data layer with forms, tables, agents, email: no 'connect to Typeform' wizard for every scenario; (2) one credit pool covers the forms, tables, agents and email your workflows touch, instead of a separate bill for each tool; (3) no plan-based schedule cap: TinyCommand schedules can run every minute on Free, while Make's Free plan sets a 15-minute minimum between scheduled runs.
Honest: Make has ~1,500 integrations, we have 458. For the high-traffic apps (Slack, Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Airtable, all major email/CRM/payment platforms) we both cover. For long-tail or obscure apps, Make has more. Worth checking our integrations directory for your specific stack before deciding.
There is no automatic Make importer. Our team rebuilds your scenarios for you as workflows: steps that touch forms, tables or email use TinyCommand's own steps, and third-party steps use our integrations. Live within a week.
Workflows branch with If Else steps. If your scenarios lean on many parallel routes or custom error handling, check those in the workflow builder before switching, or have our team rebuild them for you.
Make's Free plan sets a 15-minute minimum between scheduled scenario runs, so a scenario that checks for new rows looks at most every 15 minutes. Fine for batch work, slow for anything time-sensitive (lead alerts, customer support, payment recovery). TinyCommand has no plan-based cap: a schedule can run as often as every minute on Free, and a TinyForms submission runs its workflow when the form is submitted.
Every workflow step in TinyCommand uses 1 credit, and a few data-heavy steps (SEO, scraping, AI agents, enrichment) use more, with the price shown before you run. A 5-step workflow running 100 times a day uses about 15,000 credits a month, which fits in Professional's 50,000. The difference from Make is what the bill covers: the forms, tables, agents and email your workflows touch are on the same plan, and collecting form responses never uses a credit.
No. Hosted only, so setups that require self-hosting (compliance, air-gapped) aren't a fit. Make is also hosted-only, so this isn't a delta vs Make.
We curate starter templates by use case, fewer than Make's 8,000 but each is a real, working flow with the bundle's native steps. Volume isn't the metric; usefulness is.
1-minute schedules on every plan, one credit pool, and the data layer built in. $49/mo for the whole stack.
