What n8n does
n8n connects applications and AI models in visual workflows, with code available for more complex steps. It offers managed cloud hosting and deployment on your own infrastructure. The product includes integration nodes, API connections and tools for inspecting workflow executions.
Where it may fit a small business
- Moving an enquiry from a form into a CRM and creating a follow-up task.
- Preparing an AI-assisted document summary for a person to check.
- Connecting information held across several business applications.
Tecrave assessment: Consider it when a repeated process crosses several systems and someone can own testing and maintenance. A built-in automation in your existing software may be simpler for a single routine task. Self-hosting also leaves your team responsible for operating the service.
Pricing and deployment
The pricing page lists Starter at €20 per month when billed annually, including 2,500 workflow executions per month. Pro is listed at €50 per month when billed annually, with 10,000 executions. These are annual-billing rates, not month-to-month quotes. Check the vendor page for current billing options and allowances before buying.
A self-hosted Community Edition is also available. Evaluate its feature coverage and licensing terms separately from the managed cloud plans.
Before committing
Test one workflow with non-sensitive data. Record the manual time it replaces, the correction work and how it behaves when a connected service fails. Keep a manual fallback until recovery has been demonstrated.
