LinkStart Verdict
We tested n8n extensively and found it to be the ultimate automation swiss-army knife for technical users. It replaces costly SaaS subscriptions with a robust, self-hostable engine.
Why we love it
- Unmatched flexibility with custom JavaScript nodes.
- Self-hosting offers complete data privacy and zero cost for internal use.
- Visual debugger makes troubleshooting complex flows surprisingly intuitive.
Things to know
- Steeper learning curve compared to Zapier; not for total non-techies.
- Scaling self-hosted instances requires DevOps knowledge.
- Strict 'Fair-code' license limits commercial resale without payment.
