n8n.io Reviews 

Best platform to automate your life haha, the nicest fact is that you can host it for free on your machine!

Credential connections to services like firestore expire quickly, making requests start failing. It is very hard to debug problems since it's all UI. There is no support for users who don't pay for the most expensive plans. If you can code do these automations yourself because you'll save time.

I joined the n8n.io affiliate program on PartnerStack, and my valid commission has been withheld for 2 months. They asked me to prove my traffic, which I did. However, after that, I received no further response. I have tried multiple channels to contact them, but got no reply.
I feel like I’ve been scammed. Withholding commission without any notice or specific reason is extremely unprofessional and unreasonable — especially for a fast-growing company like n8n.
I advise others to think carefully before using n8n.

Great experience with good jobs

One of the best tools out there for automations. 1000% recommended. Hats off to the developers of n8n!!

The most buggy website that I have used in my life. I had problems with creating a filling out the form after 6 months of using it perfectly without any issues.

Also sometimes I get rate limited, and it is on Google. It is not our issue. It just shows bugs that later disappear without me doing anything.

Random account deletion - lost all my content, no support at all. Overall very hard to use very bad support very bad product.

Yes, it is a good product but, you will lose your unlimited workflow executions as soon as you buy a business or enterprise license. You will then be limited to 480k executions, and that for paying eight thousand dollars for the smallest self-hosted license.

I am a non-technical mature adult learning about LLM and AI for the first time. At 6 months into my AI Automation learning journey, I must say I am blown away at how convenient it is to learn agentic automation using n8n workflows. It truly is exciting how user friendly n8n has designed the platform and it makes feel like a pro! Lol!😄😄🤩

The platform itself is generally quite good. However, the support experience leaves a lot to be desired. What's worse is the complete lack of response from their sales team. We’ve been actively trying to give them more money for weeks and haven’t been able to get anyone to follow up. It’s frustrating to hit a wall when you’re trying to scale usage and invest further in the product.

At some point, you’ve got to prioritize paying customers who want to expand their service. Get it together.

I'm an experienced Make.com developer, but in December I got a request to build an executive agent with voice AI capabilities—and that project led me to try n8n for the first time. I was blown away.

Yes, it’s a bit more technical than platforms like Make, but the trade-off is absolutely worth it. The customizability and control you gain is on another level. You can write JavaScript functions directly in your workflows, create custom nodes, and implement highly complex logic without friction.

What really sets n8n apart is that it’s open source and fully self-hostable, which gives us full control over the infrastructure and data privacy—a must for some projects.

The platform handles advanced conditional logic and branching natively, something many other tools struggle with. For developers or power users who need flexibility and want to build without artificial limits, n8n is an unbeatable choice.

Amazing. 10-20x cheaper than Zapier for my use case. Love it! My only feedback is the GHL integration needs work, I had to use custom HTTP request

Product Is amazing. Support is very helpful and quick to respond.

I recently started my journey into automation and was searching for a tool that suits a beginner like me. I tried Make and Zapier, but they just didn’t feel right for my needs. Then I discovered n8n, and it has been a game-changer! Self-hosting n8n has given me the flexibility and control I was looking for. The interface is intuitive, and setting up workflows is a breeze even with my limited experience. I’m so grateful to have found n8n—it has made automation accessible and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone, whether you’re just starting out or are an automation pro!

Really poor sales interview experience with the hiring manager.

Blanked for a month after being accelerated through 2 stages, to then receive rejection once I had to chase twice, with the talent team being the only ones gracious enough to reply.

Poor indeed, and needs serious improvement.

I applied for a role a couple of days ago and got a generic response telling me that I was a great candidate but that they were going ahead with someone else.

They also asked to stay in touch for future opportunities. However, the email was noreply at candidates.workablemail.com, so there was no way to confirm or reject this request, nor get more concrete feedback.

I've tried a handful of different automation tools over the years: Make.com (Integromat), Zapier, Windmill, Latenode, Pipe Dream, Active Pieces, and even some custom scripting using Google Apps Script. I have to say, n8n is hands down the best one out there. While this is somewhat subjective - n8n is seriously powerful, and strikes a great balance for beginners and developers.

One of the best things about n8n is that it uses a fair-use / sustainable use license (open-source, sort of) and you can set it up locally on your own domain using tools like nginx proxy manager or Cloudflare tunnels (I personally use Cloudflare tunnels) for free. That translates to full control over your data and automations, which is a big plus for security and privacy. It is also possible (with some research) to setup a 100% free self hosted instance on fly.io. This used to be possible in Railway but no longer is as of 2024. They also offer a competitively priced cloud service if self-hosting isn’t your thing.

n8n has a ton of integrations with all sorts of popular apps and services so you can automate pretty much anything. I have used it to launch email campaigns, run custom python scripts (a custom docker image is required for this), automate data entry, backups to cloud storage, and much more. They have a bunch of pre-made templates that make it super easy to get started, and for some inspiration if you're not an automation pro.

If you want to get really fancy with your automations, n8n lets you use JavaScript and JavaScript expressions to customize things exactly how you want. If you're into Python, you can even run Python code using Pyodide, or you can build a custom docker image to leverage full python capabilities if you have the technical wherewithal and are self hosting (you cannot do this on the cloud version). This really expands the power and functionality of n8n and is my preferred setup; think a hybrid between Make.com and Pipe Dream.

n8n is great for both basic and advanced automations, so it's suitable for pretty much anyone. Although it doesn’t have as many integrations as Zapier or Make.com, it puts Zapier to shame in the pricing department, I would say for the cloud version it is competitive with Make.com. Admittedly, Zapier may be an easier starting point because of the sheer number of integrations, but with a little patience n8n (or make.com) are much better options in terms of pricing and functionality. The developers are constantly updating it with new features and improvements (there is usually a new update on dockerhub every week / the cloud version is maintained with updates by the n8n team), and there's a big community of users who share their own automation templates and help each other out. You can export your automations as .json and share them or integrate with the n8n api for even greater customization.

I've personally moved all my automations from Zapier and most of my automations from Make.com over to n8n, and I couldn't be happier. It's my go-to automation platform now. I can’t recommend it enough and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their workflows and save time.

A quick google search will show you that this is pretty much the sentiment of people who have discovered this gem of a software. So, if you want an automation tool that's powerful, flexible, and easy to use, give n8n a try. I think you'll be very impressed with what it can do.

I'm so grateful for the n8n team and their fair-code, self-hosted version. It saves me a lot of money! Moreover, their diagram workflow automation is more advanced than what's available on the market. It's easy to understand the workflow, copy and paste steps, and control what I'm using - all of which make it incredibly user-friendly.

n8n is an amazing tool, has many advanced options but despite that it is still easy to use. Best of all is that you can host n8n yourself for absolutely no money.

n8n turned IFTTT into a great joke when comparing both. Keep up the great work!
