Our verdict
n8n suits small businesses and enterprise teams that want workflow automation with a long integration list and a free plan to start on. Entry pricing of €24 sits above the site median of €13.15, so the free plan and the free trial of 14 days carry the early cost.

Frequently asked questions
How much does n8n cost to start?+
n8n lists an entry price of €24 for its automation plans, and the pricing page also shows a free plan. The site median for starting price is €13.15, so the paid entry point sits above the middle of the market. Readers on a budget can start on the free plan before weighing a paid tier.
Does n8n offer a free trial?+
Yes. The free trial runs 14 days, which matches the site median of 14 days and the median for automation tools at 14 days. n8n also lists a free plan, so a trial is not the only way to test a workflow.
What are the usage limits on n8n?+
The stated usage limit is 2.5K executions per month, and that is the ceiling to check before committing to a plan. Workflows running more often than that will need a larger tier. Pricing is listed by plan, so the limit that matters is the one attached to the plan you pick.
How many integrations does n8n support?+
n8n lists 2,274 integrations, a long connector list for teams already running a mix of tools. That breadth matters more than the entry price of €24 when one workflow has to cross several services in a single run. The count covers the apps published in its integration directory.
What support does n8n give?+
Support runs on help centre and community, so help comes from documentation and the community rather than direct contact. For a business that needs a person on the phone, that is the gap to weigh. The help centre carries setup guidance, and the community is where workflow questions get answered.
Who is n8n built for?+
The stated audience is small business and enterprise, so the same product serves a small business owner and an enterprise team. Small business is the more common fit in the automation category, and the free plan gives a small team room to try workflows before paying. Enterprise buyers meet the same entry price of €24.
Where does n8n sit on price among automation tools?+
n8n ranks 189 on starting price among 307 brands tracked on the site. In the automation category the median starting price is €19.65, while the median across all brands is €13.15. The entry price of €24 is above both medians.
Which company runs n8n?+
The legal entity is n8n GmbH, founded in 2019. That matters for procurement, since a named company behind the tool is what a small business checks before wiring workflows into its accounts. Entry pricing starts at €24 on the published plans.
