VerlumoAIConnect your apps and automate repetitive work.
View detailsn8n is a workflow automation platform from Berlin that you can run on your own server for free or use as a hosted cloud service. Workflows are built as node graphs: triggers, app actions, code steps, and AI agent nodes that can use language models, tools, and memory to complete multi-step tasks.
Unlike most automation tools, n8n charges per workflow execution, not per action, so a long workflow with fifty steps costs the same as a two-step one. That makes it cheap for heavy, complex automations, and the self-hosted Community edition costs nothing beyond your server.
The trade-off is technical skill: self-hosting means you manage updates, security, and uptime, and even the cloud version expects more comfort with logic and code than Make or Zapier. Prices are listed in euros in Europe, so US card charges vary slightly with the exchange rate. There is no free cloud plan, only a 14-day trial.
