Ian Chamberland Frequently asked questions
What is n8n and who is it for?
n8n is an open-source workflow automation tool you can self-host for free or run on their managed cloud. It is ideal for engineering-forward RevOps teams who want full data control, no per-operation pricing, and the ability to write custom code nodes.
Is n8n really free?
The self-hosted version is free and open-source with no usage limits. The managed cloud plan starts at $20/month. Self-hosting eliminates ongoing SaaS costs entirely, though it requires server management.
How does n8n compare to Make?
Both are more powerful than Zapier for complex workflows. n8n wins on self-hosting (zero platform cost, full data control, no operation caps); Make wins on a more polished UI and broader native integration library. Teams with engineering resources often prefer n8n; teams without them prefer Make.
