Relay.app alternative: Why (and how) to migrate your workflows to Make
Migrate your automated workflows from Relay.app to Make using AI-powered rebuilding, with pricing comparisons, step-by-step guidance, and migration support.
Migrating from Relay.app to Make: your step-by-step guide
If you are a Relay.app user, you have likely seen the news: Relay.app is winding down. Free accounts will shut down on August 15, 2026, and paid accounts on September 14, 2026.
We know how frustrating it is to lose a platform you rely on for daily operations. You built your business logic on Relay.app, and the prospect of rebuilding it is daunting. The good news is that Make is a natural replacement for Relay.app, with 3,500+ integrations and pricing that does far more for less. Better yet, Make is built to handle the complexity your business needs as workflows scale.
Relay.app users feel at home on Make
You likely chose Relay.app because it helped people and automation work together. Make is built on that same principle, but with the power, breadth, and stability you need for the long haul. Here's why you'll be glad you chose Make as your new platform:
AI Agents and AI-native automation: Build and manage AI agents on one visual canvas and integrate 400+ AI tools directly into your workflows.
Build by prompting: Rebuild quickly, describing what you need in plain language, and Maia by Make helps you build it. Your Relay.app workflow descriptions make great starting prompts.
3,500+ app integrations: Connect all the tools you already use with our enormous range of integrations, and reach anything else with an API through the built-in HTTP module and custom apps.
Pay for work, not for people: Every plan includes unlimited users, so your whole team collaborates at no extra cost. You pay for what your automations do, not per seat.
More automation for less: Make's usage-based pricing gives you far more volume for your money, and it scales smoothly as you grow rather than forcing you onto a sales call.
Room to grow: Go from a simple scenario to complex, enterprise-grade automation without hitting artificial ceilings, on a platform that's here for the long term.
Better automation, for a lot less
It also makes business sense: Make gives you more automation at a more competitive price, on plans that look a lot like the ones you have today.
In Relay.app, you paid for two different things: “Steps” for regular actions and a separate pool of AI credits. Make keeps it simple: you just pay for “Credits”, where every action counts as one credit, whether it uses AI or not. So you never get blocked because you ran out of the wrong kind of allowance.
What you paid on Relay.app | What you’ll pay on Make |
Professional: $19/mo, 1 user, 750 steps + 2,000 AI credits | Pro: $16/mo, unlimited users, 10,000 credits |
Team: $59/mo, 10 users, 1,500 steps + 2,000 AI credits | Teams: $29/mo, unlimited users, 10,000 credits |
Quick guide: migrating from Relay.app to Make
While you have until September 14, 2026 before paid plans shut down, we recommend migrating while your Relay.app account is still active to ensure a smooth transition.
Here’s how:
1. Export your data today. While your account is active, export your workflows, sequences, and run history. Do this first to ensure your work is preserved.
2. Create your Make account. Open an account and select the right plan for you. You can always change your plan later if needed.
3. Rebuild in Make. Relay.app describes workflows in plain language. Those descriptions are perfect prompts for Maia by Make: paste them in, and Make generates the equivalent scenario for you. Often you can rebuild a workflow in minutes.
4. Reconnect your apps. Credentials do not transfer between platforms, so you will need to reconnect your integrations.
5. Go live. Turn on your scenarios, observe the first successful runs, and you are back in business.
