n8n

Automate anything by connecting your apps with visual workflows.

Overview

n8n is a workflow automation platform that lets you build powerful automations by linking apps, APIs, and logic with a visual, node-based interface. It removes the need for repetitive coding and lets teams automate business or technical workflows faster and with more flexibility. It is well-suited for developers, operations teams, and businesses that want full control over their automation stack.

Key Features

• Visual workflow builder: Drag and drop nodes, connect triggers, actions, and logic without needing boilerplate code.
• 400+ built-in integrations: Prebuilt nodes for popular services and APIs, plus HTTP / custom node support for others.
• Custom code when needed: Use JavaScript / Python in code nodes, or add npm packages for self-hosted setups.
• Branching, loops, filtering: Merge, split, conditionally route data, filter or transform lists, handle complex logic flows.
• Self-host or managed cloud: You can host n8n on your own servers or use n8n Cloud for managed hosting.
• AI & agent blending: Combine logic workflows with AI APIs to build automated agents and intelligent pipelines.

Pricing

n8n offers both open-source self-hosted and paid cloud options.

• Community Edition (self-hosted, free): Full core features, unlimited workflows and executions in many cases, with some limits (no SSO, limited environments, etc.).
• Cloud Hosted (Starter / Pro / Business / Enterprise): For users who prefer not to manage infrastructure. For example, cloud plans start at ~ €20/month for 2,500 executions.
• New pricing model: n8n recently removed limits on workflows, users, and steps across plans; now, pricing is more execution-centric.
• Enterprise / Custom plan: For companies that need advanced governance, SLAs, scaling, and compliance features.

Pros & Cons

Pros

1. Very flexible architecture: low-code but allowed to use code nodes for advanced logic.
2. Strong open-source / self-hosted option gives you control and avoids vendor lock-in.
3. Many integrations out of the box, plus ways to extend.
4. With new pricing, unlimited workflows/steps/users per plan gives more freedom.

Cons

1. Self-hosting requires infrastructure, maintenance, updates, and dev work.
2. Cost for high execution volumes may become high under execution-based pricing.
3. Some enterprise features (SSO, version control, environments) are limited in the free / community edition.
4. Steep learning curve for complex workflows, especially for non-technical users.

Who Should Use It

• Developers and engineers who want automation but also full control
• Ops, DevOps, or infrastructure teams handling integrations and orchestration
• Businesses that want to automate cross-app workflows but host data internally
• Teams building AI agents, pipelines, or data transformation automations
• Companies with growth ambitions that need scalable and maintainable automation
