About n8n

n8n gives you the power of Zapier without the lock-in: self-host or use their cloud, build complex workflows with a visual node editor, and write custom JavaScript when you need it.

What it does

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform. You connect apps via drag-and-drop nodes, set conditions, loop data, and handle errors—all in a visual canvas. It runs on your own infrastructure or n8n's cloud.

Anyone tired of Zapier's pricing tiers and limits
