The honest answer
Is Notion cheaper than n8n or Make?
It depends on volume, not price per run. n8n and Make are far cheaper per run, but they live outside your workspace and somebody has to build the workflow. That build is the real cost, and it is on neither pricing page.
| What to compare | Notion Custom Agents | n8n | Make |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | $10 per 1,000 credits, per run | Flat plan by executions | Flat plan by credits |
| Entry cost | $10 per 1,000, on top of Business or Enterprise | Starter $24 / mo for 2,500 executions | Core $9 / mo for 10,000 credits |
| At higher volume | Scales linearly. 10x the runs is 10x the bill | Pro $60 / mo for 10,000. Business $800 / mo for 40,000 | Pro $16 / mo for 10,000 credits. Teams $29 / mo |
| Free option | None. Business and Enterprise only | Self-hosted Community Edition is free with unlimited executions | Free tier: 1,000 credits, 2 scenarios |
| Run out of credit? | Agents pause. Unused credits forfeited | Extra capacity billed as overage | Credits reset monthly on the plan |
| Build effort | Near zero. Describe it, it reads your workspace | You build and maintain the workflow | You build the scenario. Visual, but a build |
| Best when | The work lives in Notion, needs judgment, low volume | High volume, cross-tool, or you want to self-host | High volume, cross-tool, visual builder |
