All features

A visual, drag-and-drop canvas lets you build automations by connecting nodes, no coding needed to get started

When you do need more control, you can drop a JavaScript or Python code step right into any workflow

Connects to more than 2,000 apps and services out of the box, covering everything from Gmail and Slack to Postgres and Stripe

Built-in AI nodes let you build agents and chatbots powered by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and other models

You can self-host n8n for free on your own server with no limit on how many times your workflows run

Pricing on the cloud plans is based on full workflow runs, not individual steps, so one complex workflow does not rack up extra charges

Over 10,000 ready-made workflow templates give you a starting point instead of building everything from scratch

Paid plans add role-based access control, shared projects, and audit logs so teams can collaborate without stepping on each other

Built-in execution logs and error workflows make it easier to see exactly where a broken automation failed

Git-based version control and separate dev, staging, and production environments support teams running automations in real production systems

Self-hosted users can extend n8n further with over 500 community-built node packages

An AI Assistant, still in early preview, can help you build and fix workflows just by describing what you want in plain language
