AI workflow automation
n8n
Self-hostable, code-friendly automation with native AI nodes — popular with engineering-led teams.
What it is
n8n is the right pick when self-hosting matters or when the team is comfortable dropping into JavaScript inside nodes. The cloud plan keeps an SMB experience, but the strategic moat is the option to run it on your own infra with full data control.
Best for
- ✓Engineering-led teams who want flow-as-code
- ✓Companies with data-residency requirements
- ✓Teams already running internal LLMs they want to chain into workflows
Not ideal for
- ×Non-technical operators who want pre-built templates
- ×Teams that need a polished mobile/native experience
