Common Pitfalls
fair-code is not an OSI-certified open-source license - self-hosting for internal commercial use is free, but reselling n8n as a white-label product or hosting it as a paid service is a violation of the terms; the Cloud version does not have a permanent free tier, and workspaces are deleted after the 14-day trial expires.

Book editions on Amazon
Explore two language/cover editions about AI agents and AI work workflows. Author: AM&PM Editorial Team.
Workflow automation platform: uses visual nodes to connect hundreds of services into automated workflows, with built-in AI Agent nodes that can be paired with any LLM to create automated agents; can be used with official Cloud for a fee, or self-hosted for free (fair-code license).
Free Version Limitations
(2026-08-28 checked on the official pricing page) The free version has two options: ① self-hosted Community Edition = permanently free (source code on GitHub, Sustainable Use License, available for internal commercial use, no execution limit, but excludes enterprise features like SSO/environment management); ② official Cloud has no permanent free tier, only a 14-day free trial (trial of Pro plan with full features, limited to 1,000 executions, no credit card required), and workspaces will be deleted if not upgraded after expiration (workflows can be downloaded as a backup within 90 days).

US$20 / mo
The official pricing is in EUR, at €20/month (billed annually), with 2,500 executions, 5 concurrent executions, unlimited users and workflows, and 2,300 AI credits per month. The numbers in this column are based on the official EUR value, not a USD conversion rate.

SSO/LDAP, Environment Management (Enterprise)
What Sets Us Apart
Compared to self-hosting Community, it has similar functions but saves on maintenance, at the cost of €20/month and a limit of 2,500 executions; for small quantities, it's more convenient to choose this, but for large quantities or if you plan to set up Docker, self-hosting is a better option.
Best for: Automation is already a part of daily operations, and growing teams need to monitor and track the execution status.
US$50 / mo
The official pricing is in EUR, at €50/month (billed annually), with 10,000 runs per month, 20 concurrent runs, and advanced features including global variables, Insights dashboard, and run search. The numbers in this column are the official EUR values, not converted from USD exchange rates.

Environment management and log streaming (Enterprise)
What Sets Us Apart
It offers 4 times the execution quantity and operational monitoring tools compared to Starter, with a lower single-execution cost; the 14-day free trial is for this layer.
Best for: Companies with large execution volumes that use n8n as a formal production system
US$667 / mo
The official pricing is in EUR, at €667/month (billed annually); 40,000 executions per month, with automatic parallel execution scaling; additional executions are charged at €4,000 per 300,000; a 14-day trial is available, requiring a credit card. The numbers in this column are based on official EUR values and do not include USD exchange rates.

Official Cloud hosting, parallel execution with auto-scaling

Not Included

What Sets Us Apart
€667/month is 13 times the price of Pro, in exchange for 4 times the execution capacity and expandability; a credit card is required for the trial (not required for Starter/Pro trials), calculate the monthly execution capacity before purchasing.
The difference between it and the free self-hosted Community lies not in the core engine, but in the enterprise control layer; teams without strict compliance requirements can use Community for self-hosting.
Pricing is based on the number of executions per month, with no limit on the number of users and workflows for all plans. One execution is counted for a complex multi-step workflow, making it more cost-effective for heavy workflow scenarios compared to competitors that charge per task (such as Zapier). The official pricing currency is EUR, and the price_usd column will be filled with the official EUR number, noted as such, without any currency conversion. The self-hosted version uses a fair-code (Sustainable Use License), which allows free internal commercial use, but prohibits whitelabel resale or charging third-party users.
