n8n is an automation platform that connects your apps together through a visual workflow editor. Open source and self-hostable, it stands out with AI nodes that let you build intelligent agents connected to more than 500 services, without the pricing limits of proprietary alternatives.
Choose between n8n cloud (free trial) and free self-hosting via Docker or npm. Build your workflows by linking nodes on a visual canvas: a trigger (webhook, schedule, incoming email) followed by actions in your apps. AI nodes let you integrate language models and create autonomous agents.

Yes, the self-hosted version is free with no limit on workflows: all you need is a server to install it on. The paid cloud offering removes any technical maintenance.
Not for everyday automations, where the visual editor is enough. That said, JavaScript knowledge unlocks extra possibilities for complex scenarios.
n8n charges per workflow execution rather than per operation, which makes it far more economical at high volume. Self-hosting also guarantees full control over your data.
