Workflow automation with AI agent nodes, run in the cloud or self-hosted on your own infrastructure.
What it changes
Gives operations teams a visual way to wire models, APIs and internal systems into agent workflows instead of commissioning a service per process.
Availability
Generally available (global)
Access and cost
Get n8n — Cloud plans start at 20 euros a month billed annually; the self-hosted Community Edition is free under a source-available licence.
Evidence it works
- Prices cloud plans at 20 euros a month for Starter and 50 euros a month for Pro, both billed annually. — source
- States that all plans include unlimited users, workflows and integrations, with pricing set by execution count. — source
What it cannot do yet
- The Community Edition ships under a source-available licence rather than an OSI-approved one, which some legal teams restrict.
- Agent steps depend on model API keys and quotas the operator supplies; n8n orchestrates work rather than providing inference.
