Bottom line	From its public pages, Make is the lowest-cost way to run our scenario, with branching, error handling, code and an EU region from the $9 Core plan. Every module run counts as a credit, and SSO and audit logs are Enterprise features.	From its public pages, Pipedream Workflows is closing: no new sign-ups or subscriptions, a shutdown on March 31, 2027 and data deletion by April 30, 2027. Existing users should export each project and plan a move; Pipedream Connect continues.
