What is n8n?
n8n is an open-source tool for workflow automation. Unlike Zapier, it can run in a self-hosted setup — meaning on your own server. No monthly fees for the number of operations and full control over your data.
Why are companies switching from Zapier?
If you have more than 10,000 operations per month, Zapier can cost hundreds of dollars. n8n offers unlimited operations for the price of a server (approximately 200–500 CZK per month).
A company with 50 workflows and 100,000 operations can save up to 15,000 CZK per month with n8n compared to Zapier.
Key Benefits
Visual editor, more than 400 integrations, custom JavaScript/Python nodes, webhook triggers, self-hosting. Data never leaves your server — ideal for GDPR.
When is it better to stay with Zapier?
Zapier is suitable for non-technical users with fewer than 1,000 operations per month. It has an intuitive interface and does not require server management.
How to get started?
You can choose n8n Cloud (paid hosting) or run Docker on your own VPS. Start with one workflow — for example: form → CRM → Slack.
