How to migrate from Make to Pinksheep

Quick answer

Migrating from Make to Pinksheep is usually a three-step process: (1) inventory your existing Make workflows by business outcome, (2) describe each outcome in plain English inside Pinksheep and let the planner suggest the agent, (3) turn on approvals for writes, dry-run for a week, then sunset the Make setup.

This page is the migration overlay on the main Make vs Pinksheep comparison. The feature table, decision matrix, and trust-safety pointers are the same; the verdict and FAQ are tailored to migration.

Intent routing

Need something other than a Make head-to-head?

The comparison gives you the verdict. These pages go deeper on price, safety, and how Pinksheep fits the rest of your stack.

When Make is the better choice

  • You prefer to see the scenario as a visual canvas with modules and routes.
  • You need integrations with long-tail apps across 1,800+ connectors.
  • You're comfortable mapping operations and handling edge cases inside the canvas.
  • Your workflow is mostly deterministic with occasional AI calls.

When Pinksheep is the better choice

  • You'd rather describe the outcome than design the scenario.
  • The work needs AI reasoning as the core, not as a module.
  • You need approval gates on writes without building them per scenario.
  • You want MCP export so the same agent is callable from Cursor, Claude Desktop, or ChatGPT.

Start here

Start with a plain-English agent

Describe what you'd run against Make today. Pinksheep drafts the agent, highlights the writes, and waits for your approval before anything commits.

The key difference

Make is a canvas. You compose modules, wire them into routes, and test the scenario. AI is something you call, not something you build around.

Pinksheep is an agent. You describe what you want, and the platform handles planning, tool selection, approvals, and audit. AI is the whole model.

Make is best when the workflow is visual and deterministic. Pinksheep is best when the workflow needs judgement, and the writes need control.

Common questions

Is Make cheaper than Pinksheep?

Make starts at $10.59/mo, cheaper than Pinksheep's $29/mo. But Make charges per operation, so complex scenarios can cost more than equivalent Pinksheep agents, which bundle reasoning and execution into a single credit model.

Can I migrate a Make scenario to Pinksheep?

For scenarios that benefit from AI reasoning and approvals, yes. Describe the scenario in plain English and Pinksheep builds the agent equivalent.

Does Make have approval workflows?

Only via wait modules and email. Pinksheep's approvals are native, configurable per action, and captured in the audit trail.

Which is better for AI-powered automation?

Pinksheep. Make's AI modules sit on top of scenarios. Pinksheep's agent is the core of the product.

Can Pinksheep trigger a Make scenario?

Yes via webhook. A Pinksheep agent can trigger any Make scenario that exposes a webhook and pass structured inputs.

How long does migration from Make take?

For a typical mid-market setup of 10-30 workflows, plan on 1-2 weeks including a dry-run period. Describing the workflow in plain English is usually faster than rebuilding it node by node.

Do I have to sunset Make immediately?

No. Run both in parallel during the dry-run. Once Pinksheep's audit trail shows clean behaviour for a week, sunset the Make automation.

Can I keep parts of Make and still use Pinksheep?

Yes. Many teams keep Make for deterministic plumbing or long-tail integrations, and move the reasoning-and-writes steps to Pinksheep.

How it works

From description to live agent in three steps

01

Describe

Tell Pinksheep what you want the agent to do in plain English. No triggers, no code, no mapping.

02

Approve

Pinksheep writes the plan, lists the tools it needs, and asks you to approve scope and write permissions.

03

Run + audit

The agent runs live. Every action is logged, approvals are captured, and spend stays inside the caps you set.
