Starting price

Freemium

Pros

  • n8n combines workflow automation with AI capabilities for business process automation.
  • n8n supports a large integration ecosystem, with over 500 integrations stated on its website.
  • n8n offers flexibility between no-code UI building and coding when needed.

Cons

  • The Business plan is limited to self-hosted deployments, so teams wanting a hosted setup need a different n8n Cloud plan.

  • The startup discount is restricted by eligibility criteria, so not every startup will qualify.
