Make · in Europe?
Is Make hosted in the EU?
Yes, with limits. You pick the EU or the US when you create an organization, and EU data stays on AWS in Ireland, or in Germany on Enterprise. But Maia, web search, and Make's OpenAI models run in the US whichever you pick.
Free: 30 answers a day, plus 300 trial credits for every other model. No card.

| Dimension | Make | Chat with Work |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A visual automation platform: scenarios of modules connecting your apps, with AI agents inside scenarios and Maia, an AI that builds them. | AI bots and an assistant for your team's tools, as a service or on your own servers. |
| Bots that work by themselves | Scenarios run on a schedule, an instant webhook, or an app trigger. Make AI Agents, in open beta, run inside a scenario, from chat messages, email, forms, webhooks, or a schedule. | Bots start on a time, or when something happens: mail to their address or in Outlook, a GitHub issue, a webhook, the API, another agent, or a message in Slack, Discord, or Chatwoot. They work through the integrations you give them, on every plan, Free included. |
| How you set one up | Scenarios are built module by module on a canvas. Maia, in public beta on paid plans, builds scenarios and agents from a description, as modules on the canvas you then maintain; an agent's instructions are plain words inside its module. MakeOS, where work starts in a chat, is in closed beta. | Say what it should do in a chat, and approve the bot on one card, or start from one of 84 recipes. Its instructions stay plain words, and it works out the steps each time: no workflow to wire. |
| Before it changes anything | No approval step of its own: Make advises adding "a tool that sends the output to you to review", and HITL, a third party's app, offers approvals. MakeOS, in closed beta, promises to ask a person when an agent goes past its limits. | Integrations start at Read. Changes ask first, shown as they will run, unless you let a bot's changes run; deleting asks unless you allow that one tool. Every change and question waiting for you, from every chat and bot, is in one queue. |
| Available in Europe | Yes, if you pick the EU when you create the organization; it can't be changed later. | Yes, on every plan, Free included. |
| Where your data and the models are | Make has "two data center locations", the US and the EU; EU data is on AWS in Ireland, or Germany on Enterprise. "Selecting the EU1 or EU2 data zone does not automatically mean every request gets processed and stays in the EU": Maia, web search, and all OpenAI models in Make's AI Provider run in the US, and your own model provider removes Make's EU guarantee. | The app on our servers in Germany, and GPT, Gemini, Claude, and Qwen, all in the EU. Web search, off by default, leaves the EU. Or on your own servers. |
| Self-hosting | No. An On-prem agent, in beta on Enterprise, lets scenarios reach systems on your network. | Yes. Ask about self-hosting. |
| Price | Free: 1,000 credits a month. Core, Pro, and Teams are priced by credits, but their prices didn't load for us. Enterprise by quote. | Free to start. From €20 a month for one person, and from €25 per person for teams plus VAT. |

FAQ
Make in Europe, answered.
Is Make hosted in the EU?
Yes, with limits. You pick the EU or the US when you create an organization, and EU data stays on AWS in Ireland, or in Germany on Enterprise. But Maia, web search, and Make's OpenAI models run in the US whichever you pick.
Does Make's AI run in the EU?
Not all of it. With an EU data zone, Claude runs in European regions, but Maia, web search, and all OpenAI models in Make's AI Provider run in the US, and your own model provider removes Make's EU guarantee. Chat with Work runs every model in the EU, on every plan.
Do I have to build scenarios in Make?
Yes: a scenario is modules you connect, whether you place them or Maia, in beta, drafts them. In Chat with Work you tell a bot what to do in a chat and approve it on one card; its instructions stay plain words.
What is a Make alternative in the EU?
Chat with Work: bots you describe in plain words, started by a time, an email, a GitHub issue, a webhook, or a message, with every model in the EU and changes that ask first unless you let them run.
