About n8n
n8n sits between no-code tools like Zapier and writing your own scripts. You build workflows visually, but you can drop into JavaScript or Python at any step, call any API, and run the whole thing on your own server. That combination has made it hugely popular with developers, operations teams and agencies building AI agents.
The AI side is a big part of its appeal: n8n has nodes for agents, memory, tools and vector stores, so you can build an agent that reads a support ticket, searches your docs and drafts a reply, with each step visible and debuggable. Every plan includes every integration.
You can use n8n in two ways. The Community Edition is free to self-host, which is why many technical teams start there. n8n Cloud is managed for you and starts at €20 per month (billed yearly) for 2,500 workflow executions. Pricing counts whole workflow runs, not individual steps, which keeps costs predictable for long workflows.
