n8n
n8n · Developer & Infrastructure
Open-source workflow automation positioned as the alternative to Zapier and Make for developers who want self-hosting + code-level control. Distinctive for fair-code license (free for internal use, paid for embedded resale) and its JavaScript node execution. Valued $2.3B private (2025 raise). Free when self-hosted; Cloud plans $20-$50/mo (annual). Popular with technical teams whose Zapier bill grew painful and who want to run automations on their own infrastructure.
In other words, n8n is worth it for developers and ops-savvy teams that want visual workflow automation with the option to self-host and write custom JavaScript nodes — particularly if you value data sovereignty or need automations that Zapier/Make can't handle. Starter covers small teams; Pro adds more execution; Business adds RBAC and versioning; self-hosted free forever. Steep learning curve for beginners; JavaScript unlocks power. Native integrations with 400+ apps plus custom HTTP/webhook nodes. Downside: cloud pricing scales fast, and non-technical teams get lost fast in the node editor.

CURRENCY-MISMATCH RE-CONFIRMED 2026-08-22 — NO PRICES CHANGED. Second consecutive run where every source describes n8n Cloud in EUR, not USD: coworker.ai and nocode.mba both state €24/mo Starter (€20 annual), €60 Pro (€50 annual), €800 Business (€667 annual). Stored values are numerically identical (24/20, 60/50, 800/667) but are held as USD with Native Currency unset, so the directory is almost certainly under-stating n8n by ~8%. Correct USD-equivalents at the 1.08 table rate would be $25.92/$21.60, $64.80/$54.00, $864/$720. Not auto-applied because setting Native Currency and re-converting the whole tier table is a structural change, not a price edit. ACTION: confirm the currency toggle on n8n.io/pricing, then set Native Currency = EUR and re-convert all tiers in one deliberate pass. --- CURRENCY-MISMATCH FLAG 2026-08-13: 2026 sources report n8n Cloud priced natively in EUR (€24 Starter / €60 Pro / €800 Business), while prior note claims USD confirmed on n8n.io. Numbers match stored values 1:1 either way, so no price change applied. If EUR-native, USD-equivalents should be ~$25.92/$64.80/$864 at 1.08. Native Currency field is unset — manually confirm n8n.io currency toggle before any conversion. Prior note: Cloud Starter $24/mo monthly, $20/mo billed annually; free self-hostable Community Edition; plans scale by executions.
Non-technical solopreneur? Pick Zapier (simplest UX). Ops-focused visual builder? Make. Ultra-cheap indie hackers? Pipedream (free tier).
