n8n offers a pricing model designed to make automation accessible and scalable for everyone. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation, step, or task, n8n charges based on full workflow executions. This means your costs grow only when your automations run from start to finish and deliver value, not when you experiment or add complexity.

Embracing limitless complexity

In automation, complexity is not a problem to avoid, but something to use to your advantage. With our execution-based pricing, you can build workflows as simple or as complex as you need, process small or large volumes of data, and still keep your costs predictable.

Every n8n plan now also includes unlimited users, workflows, and steps, so you can scale across teams and departments without worrying about limits.

How does our pricing compare to others?

Most automation tools charge by “step” or “task,” meaning every individual action inside a workflow eats into your quota. With n8n, you can build complex workflows with hundreds or thousands of operations, and it still counts as a single execution when the workflow runs.

For example, running workflows with around 100,000 tasks could easily cost over $500 per month on other platforms. On n8n’s Pro plan, you can do the same for about $50, since your costs only grow when you need more executions, not when your workflows get more complex.

What does this mean for you as a user?

With execution-based pricing, you have the freedom to:

  • Build and run complex workflows without tracking every step or operation.
  • Process large amounts of data without costs spiraling unexpectedly.
  • Budget more easily with predictable pricing that grows only when your automations actually run and create results.

This model is about giving you the flexibility to innovate and scale, without limits on how many users or workflows you can create.

What about our Business and Enterprise offerings?

For growing teams and large organizations, this approach makes even more sense. Our Business Plan gives scaling teams the tools they need — like Self-hosting, Git version control, SSO, environments, and queue-mode scaling — with predictable, usage-based pricing.

And for larger companies, our Enterprise plans scale with executions, so you can build as many workflows as you want, experiment freely, and only see costs grow when your automations are actively running. These plans also include priority support, and full security and compliance features for peace of mind at scale.
