Pros and cons
๐
Make
Productivity ยท freemium
Pros
- โVisual canvas makes branching and conditional automations readable in a way a linear step list does not
- โRouters and error handler modules cost zero credits, so defensive structure does not inflate the bill
- โ3,000+ connectors including 400+ AI integrations, which covers most of what a small team needs to wire together
- โFree tier runs genuine scenarios on a schedule rather than expiring like a trial
- โEntry pricing starts at $9/mo, well below what comparable platforms charge for a first paid tier
Cons
- รCredits are consumed per module action, so a multi-step scenario burns the allowance far faster than the plan names suggest
- รThe advertised $9, $16 and $29 prices are only the 10,000-credit rung of a slider, and real costs climb from there
- รFree tier caps scheduling at a 15-minute minimum interval and execution at 5 minutes, which rules out anything time-sensitive
- รThe canvas is harder to learn than a form-based builder, which is a real cost for occasional users
- รFull-text log search sits on Pro, so debugging on the cheaper tiers is more painful than it should be

Comet
Productivity ยท freemium
Pros
- โAssistant operates on the page you are already viewing instead of in a separate window with no context
- โChromium base keeps most Chrome extensions working, which removes the usual dealbreaker when switching browsers
- โImport carries bookmarks, passwords, cookies, history and extensions across in one step
- โFree to download with no subscription required to start using it
- โBackground Assistants give paying users parallel agentic tasks with confirmations gathered in one place
Cons
- รBrowser-agent limits are published only as relative claims, so no tier states how many agent queries you actually get
- รThe features most people want the browser for, Background Assistants and Email Assistant, sit behind the $200/mo Max tier
- รSwitching browsers is a bigger commitment than installing an extension, and profile migration is never fully clean
- รAn assistant with access to your logged-in sessions is a meaningful trust decision that a chat window in another tab does not require
