✓ Use when
Technical teams running high-volume automations where Zapier costs would be prohibitive. Also ideal for data-sensitive workflows that cannot go through third-party servers.
✗ Avoid when
Non-technical teams — Zapier or Make are far easier. n8n requires some technical setup.

n8n is a workflow automation platform that can run entirely on your infrastructure. Unlike Zapier, it supports complex logic, loops, and custom code. The open-source model means no per-task pricing — perfect for high-volume automations that would be expensive on Zapier.
