What is n8n

n8n is a workflow automation platform for technical teams, combining a visual editor with code steps, self-hosting, AI-agent building, and broad integration support.

Core offerings

  • Unlimited workflows and users across paid plans, with billing by complete workflow execution.
  • JavaScript and Python code steps, webhooks, API requests, data tables, and AI nodes.
  • n8n Cloud plus a self-hosted Community Edition.
  • Business and Enterprise controls for environments, Git, SSO, scaling, secrets, and logs.

Pricing

As of July 22, 2026, n8n’s official annual-billing prices are Starter at €20 per month for 2,500 workflow executions, Pro at €50 per month for 10,000 executions, Business at €667 per month for 40,000 executions, and Enterprise at custom pricing. Annual billing saves 17% according to the page. A standard self-hosted Community Edition is also available.

Starter includes one shared project, five concurrent executions, unlimited users, 2,300 AI Assistant credits per month, and forum support. Pro adds three shared projects, 20 concurrent executions, Insights, up to 13,700 AI credits per month, admin roles, global variables, workflow history, and execution search.

Business is self-hosted and adds six shared projects, SSO/SAML/LDAP, 30 days of insights, multiple environments, scaling options, and Git version control; its AI Assistant is listed as coming soon. Enterprise can be hosted or self-hosted and adds unlimited shared projects, more than 200 concurrent executions, 365 days of insights, external secret stores, log streaming, extended retention, dedicated SLA support, and invoice billing.

Model footprint

n8n is model-flexible orchestration software rather than a closed AI model service. Cloud AI Assistant credits support workflow building, while production AI workflows can connect to external providers or use customer API keys.

Why select n8n

n8n is worth shortlisting when technical control, code extensibility, and self-hosting matter. Its execution-based billing can be easier to forecast than per-step charging for complex workflows.
