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.
