Annual billing: the main published saving

Make's FAQ says paid plans are cheaper when you pay annually in advance. [1] The dollar grid on the pricing page loads interactively and did not appear in the text we could fetch, so we do not quote figures here; check the live grid for your plan and credit tier.

Annual billing also changes how credits arrive. On Pro and Teams annual subscriptions Make allocates the whole year's credits up front for you to use flexibly; on Core you still receive a monthly allocation even when billed annually. [2] A Pro or Teams buyer with seasonal spikes gains flexibility from the annual pool; a Core buyer does not.

Moving from monthly to annual at an equal or higher tier counts as an upgrade, and moving from annual to monthly at a lower tier counts as a downgrade. [2]

Worked example: is annual worth it at one credit tier?

Pick the credit tier you actually need, then read two numbers off Make's pricing grid: the monthly-billing price (M) and the per-month price shown for annual billing (A). Your annual saving is 12 x (M - A). The cash you commit up front is 12 x A.

Then test the downside. If there is a realistic chance you will cancel after month four, you have paid for eight unused months, and Make states it has a no cash refund policy. [3] A cancellation keeps the plan to the end of the billing cycle, which on annual billing is the end of the year. [5] So annual only wins when 12 x (M - A) is larger than what you would lose by stopping early.

A quick rule: if you have run the same scenarios for three months and your credit use is steady, annual is low risk. If you are still testing whether Make fits, stay monthly until usage settles.

StepWhat to record
1Credit tier needed (from your last 2 to 3 months of usage)
2M = price per month on monthly billing for that tier
3A = price per month on annual billing for that tier
4Saving per year = 12 x (M - A)
5Up-front cost = 12 x A; no cash refunds [3]
6Pro or Teams: credits arrive as an annual pool; Core: monthly [2]

Programs: Start-up Plan and nonprofit pricing

The pricing page says companies with under 20 employees can check whether they qualify for the Start-up Plan and get 50% off Business. [1] The fetched page did not list the eligibility rules beyond headcount or how long the discount lasts, so confirm both with Make before you plan a budget around it.

For nonprofits, the page says NGO and NPO discounts are available and asks you to contact Make for details. [1] No percentage is published, so ask for the terms in writing.

Discounts hidden in billing mechanics

When you upgrade, Make converts your unused credits, including purchased extra credits, into a dollar discount that is deducted immediately from the upgraded subscription payment; the discount cannot exceed the bill. [3] Upgrading near the start of a cycle, when you have most credits left, gives the largest discount.

When you downgrade to a lower paid plan, Make transfers unused credits to the new plan for the length of the new billing cycle. [3] Extra credits are the opposite of a discount: they cost your plan's per-credit rate plus 25%, and on monthly billing they expire at the end of the cycle. [4] If you buy extra credits most months, moving up a tier is usually cheaper than paying the 25% premium.

Checklist before you pay

Use this list to pay the published price and nothing more.

  • Start on Free and measure credits for two to four weeks. [1]
  • Ask about the Start-up Plan if you have under 20 employees and need Business. [1]
  • Nonprofits: request the NGO/NPO discount in writing. [1]
  • Compute 12 x (M - A) for your tier before choosing annual. [1]
  • Remember there are no cash refunds. [3]
  • Review the automatic extra-credit setting. [4]
