n8n
Best For
Technical teams who want to self-host, keep data in their own infrastructure, and drop into code when a node runs out.
Not Ideal For
Non-technical users — the free path is self-hosted, which means running and updating it yourself.
Pros & Cons
- Free and unlimited when self-hosted
- Open source, so the workflow runner is auditable
- JavaScript and Python nodes for anything the UI cannot express
- Execution-based pricing rather than per-task
- Self-hosting is real operational work
- Fewer polished connectors than Zapier or Make
- n8n prices Cloud in euros, so the dollar cost depends on the exchange rate; the starting price shown here is the euro amount
