ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is N8N

N8N is an open-source workflow-automation platform — visual node editor, 400+ integrations, native AI agent nodes, and code blocks for the steps where clicking isn't enough. It's Zapier's job done with your data on infrastructure you control.

N8N is built and maintained by n8n GmbH, a Berlin-based company founded in 2019. It's distributed under the Sustainable Use License — a fair-code license that permits internal-business use, modification, and distribution for non-commercial purposes. The current stable line is 1.123.x as of May 2026, with weekly releases and a 2.0 series in active beta.

Adoption has accelerated since 2024. N8N crossed 187,000 GitHub stars in early 2026 and topped the 2025 JavaScript Rising Stars survey, adding 112,000 stars in a single year. Over 100 million Docker pulls. More than 200,000 active community members. Named adopters include Vodafone, Delivery Hero, StepStone, and Musixmatch. Most new workflows now include a large language model — n8n GmbH reported 75% LLM use across the active install base in 2025.

FEATURES

What N8N does

N8N pairs a visual canvas with code blocks. Drag nodes for the steps that fit a template. Drop in JavaScript or Python where they don't. AI nodes connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local Ollama with memory and tool calling. Ship the workflow without leaving the browser.

Visual node-based workflow editor

Drag and connect 400+ pre-built integrations: Shopify, Stripe, HubSpot, Slack, Gmail, Notion, Postgres, Airtable, and most APIs in between. Each node is configurable; complex flows branch and merge.

JavaScript and Python code nodes

When the visual editor isn't enough, drop a code block in. Pull npm packages. Sandboxed at runtime, so a code error doesn't take the whole workflow with it.

Community nodes from npm

Install verified third-party integrations directly from the canvas — ElevenLabs, Brave Search, Qdrant, and around 2,000 others published on npm.

900+ workflow templates

Start from a working template instead of a blank canvas. Templates cover lead handling, e-commerce, AI research, and back-office automation.

Native AI Agent nodes

Built on LangChain. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or a local Ollama instance, with conversational memory, tool calling, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints for safer agent runs.

Webhook, schedule, and event triggers

Two hundred app-specific triggers plus webhook and cron. Real-time and batch automation in the same workflow when you need both.

AI Agent, Chat Trigger, MCP support

Build conversational interfaces and agentic workflows with Model Context Protocol support. Pause for human approval before sensitive actions.

Self-hostable execution

Your data and your credentials sit on infrastructure you control. No third-party SaaS vault for your API keys.

WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED

Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.

Every app you deploy includes the full managed service — security, backups, updates, and support from day one.

Automatic updates and patches

Apps run the latest stable version. Security patches applied silently, with rollback if needed.

Daily off-site backups

Multiple daily backups in redundant off-site locations. One-click restore if anything goes wrong.

24/7 uptime monitoring

Continuous monitoring with instant alerting. We respond before you notice.

SSL, firewall, DDoS protection

Performance and scaling

We monitor resource usage continuously. When your app needs more headroom, we flag it and upgrade with your explicit approval.

Dedicated engineering support

Real engineers on chat. DNS, SMTP & migration help. All included in €9.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed N8N

In 2024 Zapier cut its free plan from 750 tasks per month to 100. By 2026 the Professional tier is $29.99 per month for 750 tasks, and AI workflows burn through that ceiling fast. Self-hosting N8N is the obvious next move — until you discover what "just running N8N" actually involves.

The workflow editor is the part you see. Everything below it is operational. Which database holds your execution data. What happens when a webhook payload exceeds the default cap. How the instance behaves when ten workflows fire at once. The default for each of those is the wrong answer for production. Working through them is a project. Maintaining the answers is a small ongoing job — patches, version upgrades, certificate renewals, backup verification, on-call when a webhook misfires at 2am.

N8N ships with SQLite as its default database. SQLite serializes every write, can't be safely backed up while N8N is running, and quietly drops execution data under concurrent load. N8N's own docs say plainly that SQLite isn't recommended for production execution. The cost of finding out the hard way is real workflows missing real executions, with no easy way to tell which.

At DANIAN we run every N8N instance on PostgreSQL. We provision Redis alongside for caching. We back it up daily. We raise N8N_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MAX above the 16 MB default that crashes large-file workflows. We patch within days of N8N's weekly releases. None of this is an upgrade tier or a hidden config flag. It's the floor every customer starts on, and we don't charge separately for any of it.

USE CASES

Three teams who run N8N on DANIAN

Three composite example teams. Different sizes, different reasons for moving from Zapier or N8N Cloud, different DANIAN configurations. None of these are word-swappable to a different app — the workflows themselves only make sense for N8N's shape of automation, and the configuration choices reflect what production N8N actually needs.

8-PERSON GROWTH AGENCY

Replacing Zapier after the Team-plan task cap kept hitting

Fifteen client workflows running on a single managed instance. Meta Ads daily-spend ingestion to Google Sheets. Calendly meeting bookings to pre-call Slack briefs with company context. Stripe events to Notion revenue dashboards. EU region of choice, dedicated PostgreSQL backend, Monday-morning Looker Studio refresh trigger. Migrated when the 2,000-task Team-plan ceiling kept hitting mid-month.

4-PERSON E-COMMERCE STORE

Migrated when AI cart-abandonment workflows pushed Zapier past 5,000 tasks/month

Around 12,000 orders per year. Shopify checkout webhook fires; N8N waits 60 minutes; sends a personalized Klaviyo email; then a 24-hour Twilio SMS if no purchase. Custom domain on the webhook URL for branded callbacks. Raised payload size handles product-image-heavy cart events without dropping data.

6-PERSON AI CONSULTANCY

Wouldn't put client API keys in a SaaS vault

Three separate N8N instances, one per active client. Around 30 workflows each, including AI-Agent nodes with retrieval-augmented generation pipelines. Custom PostgreSQL backups exported weekly to client-controlled storage. Persisted encryption key per instance so client OAuth tokens survive container moves. Pricing: €9 per instance, three instances, €27 total.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run N8N

Workflow automation has four real shapes: rent the SaaS, run a VPS yourself, run a home server, or hand the operations to someone else. The math below is honest. The DANIAN row holds at €9 whether you've got one user or ten.

The Zapier number assumes annual billing at the cheapest published tier. Monthly billing runs $29.99 / $103.50 / $103.50, which sharpens the gap. The VPS and home-server time costs assume €60–120 per hour at sysadmin rates — not because that's what you'd pay an outsider, but because that's what the time is worth if you'd otherwise charge for it. The DANIAN row is what we charge, regardless of seats, regardless of region.

BY INDUSTRY

N8N for specific industries

Five industries put different pressure on the same automation engine. Marketing agencies run per-client tenancy. E-commerce hits webhook spikes at peak. SaaS startups guard their own credentials. IT teams need reproducible traces. RevOps teams enrich at the moment of meeting booking. Each gets a different DANIAN configuration.

Agencies running automation for clients face two intersecting constraints: marketing-list consent under EU PECR / ePrivacy and the UK PECR equivalent, and per-client data isolation when one workspace's credentials must never reach another client's workflows. We run per-client N8N instances on isolated credential vaults, so a leak in one workspace doesn't reach the others. A representative agency workflow: pull Meta Ads daily spend into Google Sheets, blend with Shopify revenue, trigger a Looker Studio refresh, and post a Monday-morning summary to the client's Slack channel. Agencies typically run 20–50 active workflows per client, which means an agency with 10 clients is managing 200–500 workflows — a number that broke our first design assumptions and shaped the multi-instance pattern we now default to.
Online stores in the EU work under the 14-day right of withdrawal in Directive 2011/83/EU and VAT-compliant invoicing rules that vary by member state. The technical pressure on N8N is different: peak webhook volume. A mid-tier Shopify or WooCommerce store hits 10,000+ webhook events on a busy day — checkouts, inventory updates, customer signups, fulfillment status. SQLite can't keep up. We run PostgreSQL on every instance and raise N8N_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MAX so product-image-heavy webhook payloads don't crash mid-execution. A representative workflow: a Shopify checkouts/create event fires; N8N waits 60 minutes for the orders/paid event; sends a personalized Klaviyo email if no payment; then a 24-hour SMS via Twilio. The retry path matters at this volume — one missed cart sequence is one lost sale.
Pre-Series-A SaaS companies field data-residency questions from design partners and investors before their compliance program is formal. They handle PII (signups, billing events, support conversations) and need the audit answer to be a credible one. We persist N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY to durable storage so Stripe, Clearbit, and HubSpot OAuth tokens survive container migrations and version upgrades — a quietly missing key turns into a 2am page when a renewal webhook fails to authenticate. A representative onboarding workflow: Stripe customer.subscription.created fires; Clearbit enriches the company; a HubSpot deal is created; the AE gets a Slack DM with a one-page brief; then Customer.io kicks off a 7-day onboarding sequence. Typical onboarding workflows run 5–10 nodes; multiply that by the number of plan transitions and you have a meaningful surface area.
Internal IT and MSP teams need automation that produces reproducible traces — provisioning, deprovisioning, access changes — that reconstruct months later when an internal review or an outside auditor asks what happened on a specific date. We back up execution data daily off-site and retain it for the period each customer needs, not the default. A representative workflow: an HR Bamboo offboard event fires; N8N suspends Google Workspace; revokes Okta access; archives the user's Slack DMs; and posts a confirmation in the IT compliance channel — every step logged with the originating event ID. Delivery Hero published an N8N case showing 800 lockout requests per month at 35 minutes each, reduced to 20 minutes after routing through N8N. Reproducible traces hold the same shape regardless of organization size.
RevOps teams hit two operational pressures: outreach-consent rules (TCPA in the US, ePrivacy and DPA-equivalents in the EU) and pipeline-data integrity for board-level reporting that has to reconcile to Salesforce. We raise N8N_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MAX so full Apollo or Clearbit firmographic enrichment payloads don't truncate mid-flight. A representative workflow: a Calendly meeting is booked; N8N looks up the company on Apollo; appends firmographic and intent data to the Salesforce lead; builds a one-page pre-call brief with the last three interactions; and sends it to the AE in Slack 30 minutes before the meeting. RevOps teams running this kind of pre-call enrichment cite 80–90% reductions in manual lead-research time. The brief is only as good as the enrichment, which is only as good as the payload that survived the wire.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

We run every managed instance on PostgreSQL — we don't offer SQLite as an option. SQLite locks the database file on every write, drops execution data under concurrent load, and can't be backed up safely while N8N runs. N8N's own docs flag the SQLite-in-production gap directly. Postgres is the floor.
Redis runs alongside every N8N instance for caching, and active monitoring catches sustained queue growth before it turns into dropped webhooks. If sustained load shifts above your current resource tier, we recommend an upgrade with explicit consent — we don't bump you up silently. A Black Friday spike is something we'd flag in advance.
We persist N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY to a durable volume separate from the container, and we back it up daily. A migration brings the key with it. The failure mode where a fresh container generates a new key and orphans every stored credential — the most common self-hosting incident in N8N's GitHub issue tracker — doesn't happen on our setup.
Yes. We raise N8N_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MAX above the 16 MB default that crashes file-heavy workflows. If your workflow handles invoices, product images, or video metadata, the cap is well clear of the typical payload. If you need a specific ceiling for a regulated workflow, tell us and we'll confirm in writing.
Yes. The N8N community has published around 2,000 verified nodes on npm, and you can install them directly from the canvas. Verified nodes work the same way they would on a self-managed install. If a community node has a known security or stability issue, we may flag it; we won't block it without telling you.
Default retention is 168 hours (7 days) of execution data. The variable is configurable per instance — we'll set retention to whatever your workflow needs, longer or shorter. Off-site backups of execution data are separate from this and are retained on a 7-day rolling window.
We don't enforce a 60-second proxy timeout. Long-running AI workflows complete. The N8N Cloud 100-second Cloudflare ceiling doesn't apply on managed self-hosting. We do have an upper bound for any single execution to prevent runaway workflows from consuming resources indefinitely; the bound is generous, and we'll raise it if a real workflow needs it.
All of them. N8N's AI Agent and LangChain integration nodes support OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, and local Ollama or Llama.cpp endpoints. You bring your own API keys for hosted providers; we provision the runtime for local model inference if your workflow needs it. Around 75% of N8N workflows now use a large language model.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
We patch within a few days of each upstream N8N release, and same-day when n8n GmbH publishes a security advisory. If a release introduces a breaking change in node behavior or environment variables, we notify you before patching and time the rollout around your peak hours.
Yes to both. Daily off-site backups of every workflow, every credential, every execution record. If you decide to leave, we provide a complete export — workflows in JSON, credentials encrypted with your key, execution data in a structured archive. Your portability is part of the deal, not an exit fee.
We provision a dedicated Postgres instance per N8N container by default.
Yes. Each instance is €9 per month and gets its own credential vault, its own workflow set, and its own custom domain. Agencies running 5–10 active clients typically run one instance per client. The dashboard groups them so you don't have to log in five times.
The Sustainable Use License permits internal-business use, modification, and free non-commercial distribution. If you're running N8N for your own automations or your own internal team, you're clearly inside the allowed-use envelope. If you're embedding N8N into a paid product or hosting it for your own customers, the licensing question gets nuanced — talk to us before you go live, and we'll route you to the right answer.

03

Billing, support, and platform

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.
If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.
No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.
24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.
Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.
Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.
99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.
When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.
We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.
Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.
150+ open-source apps across automation, team chat, file sync, analytics, AI, password management, email marketing, dev tools, project management, smart home, CMS, and federated social. See the full catalog →
Yes. Every instance comes with a web-based terminal and a file manager in your DANIAN management dashboard. Useful for managing your data and customizations.
Resources scale with your usage. If your app needs more vCPU, RAM, or storage, we add it — and we ask first before any change to your plan. €9 is the floor; resource-heavy workloads may price higher, but you'll always know in advance.
Yes. We have both a Partner program and an Affiliate program available. Anybody can sign up.
No contract. No minimum commitment. Cancel anytime from the dashboard with one click. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. After the trial converts to paid, you can still cancel at any month without notice or penalty.
