n8n vs Automatisch — pricing & features compared

n8n vs Automatisch logo

Automatisch

Both are open-source and self-hosted, so on our figures they cost the same — the server they run on (see the table). The difference is scope: n8n carries a much larger node ecosystem (1,868 integrations), native AI/LLM nodes and code steps, while Automatisch is deliberately minimal (about 50 integrations, no AI), AGPL-licensed and quick to stand up. Pick n8n for depth, Automatisch for simplicity and a lean footprint. See the price table below for figures.

FAQ

Common questions

They come out to the same cost across the volumes we track — both are free open-source software, so the figure is just your server bill (see the table above). Price isn't the deciding factor here; the feature and trade-off sections below cover what separates them.

n8n Cloud counts workflow executions — one run is one execution regardless of step count; self-hosted n8n has no metering at all. Automatisch doesn't meter operations — one flat cloud price, or self-host for free.

Yes — both n8n and Automatisch can be self-hosted, which caps the real cost at your server bill.

When your automations get complex or numerous. n8n has the larger node library, native AI/LLM steps, code nodes and more mature branching and error handling — depth that pays off once usage grows beyond simple flows.
