Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Extremely Flexible Automation, Even If It Changes Fast" April 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with n8n has been very positive. It has become a central piece of my automation stack, allowing me to build workflows that would be hard or very time‑consuming to implement with more rigid platforms. Once you get used to its way of thinking, n8n gives you a lot of creative freedom to design exactly the processes you need, instead of forcing you into strict templates or limited triggers and actions. Pros What I like most about n8n is its flexibility. You can start with simple automations using the visual editor and then go as deep as you want with code, custom logic, and API integrations when needed. It works well both for quick one-off workflows and for more complex, multi-step processes that connect many different tools and services. Cons The main downside for me is that some major version updates have introduced radical changes to the product. While I understand the need to evolve, these shifts sometimes required re-learning parts of the tool or adjusting existing workflows more than expected. It would be great to have more stability or smoother transitions between big releases. Switched from [Make](https://www.capterra.com/p/154278/Integromat/) I was initially drawn in by the price, but I stayed because of the flexibility Review Source AB Aimen B. Founder, Principal Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The AI Automation Tool of the Year" July 31, 2025 5.0 Indispensable for AI stack; scales from solo work to full GTM deployments; couldn't run projects as efficiently without it. Pros Most flexible self-serve and cloud workflow automation, easy to recommend to clients for production, central for AI consultants and GTM sales. Cons Learning curve for advanced workflows can be steep initially, but it's absolutely worth the investment of time to master. Learning curve for advanced workflows, but worth it. Alternatives considered [Relevance AI](https://www.capterra.com/p/10019108/Relevance-AI/) Reason for choosing n8n.io Personal preferences, I think it's more intuitive and you can really get granular with n8n Review Source NR Nuria R. Community Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy workflow builder" May 18, 2025 3.0 Pros Super useful to make things work together, I use it for posting, getting mentions, send messages when something happens. The flow builder is nice, I just drag and connect and it works Cons But sometimes flows stop if I change one small thing or rename something, and then I have to check step by step Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flexible automation, overall very satisifed" June 15, 2025 5.0 Very easy to use as I am quite familiar with Javascript, self-hosted multiple automations with OpenAI integrations, Sheets, etc.. Very satisfied overall. Pros Very easy and cheap to setup, plus you only have to pay for the API usage. Plus is very flexible and has the ability to self-host. Cons The learning curve is very steep for beginners, especially if they don't have prior knowledge of APIs or Java and so on. Switched from [Make](https://www.capterra.com/p/154278/Integromat/) N8n is much cheaper, plus has self-hosting and more data control. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Really good for automations" December 5, 2025 5.0 Pros Really good pieces of software, it can integrate itself with a lot of other tools and you can create amazing and useful workflows Cons Pricing is a bit high, and the selfhosted option has less features than the cloud ones: they should be the same. Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) N8N is much cheaper than zapier, and you can selfhost it Review Source AT Asad T. BI Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes life and automation easier" September 4, 2025 5.0 Pros Value for money and vast range of connectors. I have automated a lot of my daily workflows using n8n and it has made my life easier. Cons I find it hard to debug issues with my workflows because of lack of documentation and vague debugging messages. Switched from [Microsoft Power Automate](https://www.capterra.com/p/227210/Microsoft-Power-Automate/) Much economical as compared to power automate. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Executive Office Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great value for the money (you need a bit of technical expertise tho)" July 1, 2023 5.0 I have found Zapier and N8N to be very useful tools. I use both platforms depending on the complexity of the workflow. When dealing with tasks that require multiple steps, I prefer to use N8N. For simpler tasks, I opt for Zapier. Eventually, I plan to migrate all my workflows to N8N when I have more time. Pros N8N's pricing structure is more appealing than Zapier's. Unlike Zapier, where you are charged for every action or step your zap executes, N8N offers "workflows" that can include unlimited steps (as far as I know). In N8N, you are charged based on the number of workflows executed. Cons There are some complexities in performing tasks like creating a contact in Hubspot or writing a column in Sheets. When I first had to set them up, I had to search for several tutorials on YouTube because setting up parameters can be tricky, especially when working with webhooks and JSON parsed files. It would be helpful to have a more user-friendly version of N8N, similar to Zapier, where the user can choose which one to use based on their available time and expertise. Alternatives considered [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Basically, because of pricing. I paid 16$ monthly for 5000 workflow executions, while in Zapier, I have to pay 30$ per 750 tasks.

Cons To be honest I took a course, it cost me a few bucks, however now I can ask questions because the support was not very good in the public community Alternatives considered [Make](https://www.capterra.com/p/154278/Integromat/) Reason for choosing n8n.io create infinite flows and pay the same per month that is wonderful Switched from [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) costs are too high in my opinion Review Source Esther A. Co-Founder Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Flexible workflow builder perfect for web automation" July 30, 2025 5.0 Overall, n8n.io has been a reliable tool for building automations across the web. Workflows are easy to manage and modify, which is great for adapting to changing project requirements. It is especially useful for integrating other tools like Apify to create scalable automations for research and data-driven tasks. Pros The best thing about n8n.io is its incredible flexibility for building custom automations. You can connect different apps, services and data sources in workflows that are easy to design visually. It is perfect for automating repetitive web scraping tasks and data management, especially when combining it with tools like Apify. Cons Some nodes can be tricky to configure for more advanced functions, and occasionally updates change the way workflows run so older automations need adjusting. There is a learning curve if you want to use scripting or advanced branches. Review Source GG Guntas G. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Automation with many options" July 17, 2025 5.0 It was very helpful for someone like me who’s not really good with automation. Data flows go well across different connected apps with no issue. Pros There’s lot of integrations and freedom to custom the interactions, with API, webhook or native ones. It let you really adapt scenarios to specific needs. Cons Self-hosting is not my favorite, honestly, it takes time for a no-code tool. Except that, it’s really useful. Review Source Óscar M. EO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Automatización + IA el Presente" March 6, 2025 5.0 Con N8N hemos creado nuestra propia herramienta para revisar cientos de noticias al día, crear resúmenes automáticos de cada una de ellas y enviarlas a una base de datos de Supabase para alimentar nuestra aplicación. Pros Lo que más me gusta de N8N es la integración entre automatización y Agentes de Inteligencia artificial. Cons La curva de aprendizaje es mayor que en Zapier o Make pero el esfuerzo merece la pena. Switched from [Make](https://www.capterra.com/p/154278/Integromat/)[Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Al ser software libre lo puedes instalar en tu propio servidor con el consiguiente ahorro.

Cons Es una plataforma en inglés, lo que puede dificultar su uso para algunos usuarios hispanohablantes ..No tiene una versión gratuita, sino que requiere un pago mensual o anual para acceder a todas sus funcionalidades.

Es un producto recomendable Pros Es muy fácil de usar y muy intuitivo, en pocos pasos puedes tener tus automatizaciones funcionando. Cons Como todos los softwares de automatización como Make o Zapier tienen su proceso de adaptación y de planificación de pasos.

Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Intuitive, useful, but a bit pricey." August 14, 2025 5.0 Very intuitive, easy to figure out even if you're non-technical. Integrated very well with most tools that I needed. Pros Ease to use, even without being a programmer. I wanted to automate an internal process of my agency that would easily have taken me months to figure out and I did in 2 days. Cons I think the pricing model is a bit steep. Even though the project was pretty useful to me, it hadn't generated enough value in the free trial to justify paying for it. I'd love an option where you pay cheaper to have access to only one project or something like that. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best open-source automation tool" February 25, 2025 4.0 Overall N8n is the best tool for automation I recommend the self-hosting option since it's an open source buying a separate domain and hosting n8n on that is a good option. Pros This platform's self-hosting option is mind-blowing. Also, it allows the automation scripts to be written in typescript or javascript. As a web developer, it's a good thing so no need to learn a separate language for automation. Cons Even though the automation relies on the script we are adding in some cases like implementing external options like rabbitmq and Redis performance drop is happening. Review Source AM Andris M.

I was able to set up three automations to improve my daily productivity. Pros I like the ease of use and all of the nodes and ability to connect APIs Cons I wish it had a couple more integrations that made it easier like APIfy Switched from [Make](https://www.capterra.com/p/154278/Integromat/) I found that there was more customizing in N8N to integrate more API’s Review Source TS Thomas S. Co-Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "n8n: Unleashing limitless workflow automation" March 31, 2025 4.0 n8n.io is adaptable and also very functional, the automation of the workflow is very simple and not much more than a series of steps. It doesn't impose on you a pattern of work to be pursued, nor is it a source of trouble for you Pros The setup and management of the process are the core triggering and well-managed Cons Consistency of generally keeping the workflow can get quite challenging, especially in multi-tasking environments Review Source GK Ghanshyam K. Business Growth Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to make the automation" September 1, 2025 5.0 Overall, it's a helpful tool for businesses and individuals to make some automation quickly and easily. Pros Quicker to build compared to building something using code. And with a bit of technical knowledge, people can build something on their own Cons Overall, it's good, but it needs some technical knowledge; I think it should have proper video help articles Review Source KC Kristen C. Co-founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Now that I have found n8n I can’t live without it it! " November 8, 2022 5.0 Everything has been a great experience! Even the customer service is outstanding. Pros Say hello to a more intelligent and advanced automation tool then all the rest! I tell people n8n is like Zapier on steroids! It really is absolutely amazing tool. I also host n8n myself on Vultr which makes it very affordable. Cons There is nothing I have not liked about n8n. I am definitely a fan for life! Review Source Pedro A. Marketing & Growth Ops Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best tool to manage all of your workflows (Best API Hub)" October 12, 2023 5.0 Pros \- It functions like an API hub were you can connect every tool with itself Even if you dn't have a direct integration, you can create one with APIs- Self Hosted option: This is the best feature without a doubth. We are able to host our server in a local machine- The community is always sharing new stuff that you can add to your own n8n account using templates Cons \- It can be more intuitive using data from nodes. Make.com uses this better because you don't always know how to call a node that hapened 3 or 4 steps later Review Source Coral M. Programador informatico Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "N8N Una buena herramienta de automatizacion de procesos " January 27, 2023 4.0 Mi experiencia con n8n.io es bastante buena. Como es un proyecto de codigo abierto la comunidad comparte Workflows que puedes utilizar sin tener que desarrollar los tuyos propios. Otro punto muy a favor es que se puede instalar en un servidor local o en un VPS en la nube Pros La funcionalidad que mas me ha gustado es poder compartir desde google sheet una misma publicacion en varias redes sociales.Enviar correos cuando se cumpla un determinado parametro Cons Puede ser complicada de utilizar si no tienes ciertos conocimientos y tiene menos integraciones que otras herramientas comerciales Alternatives considered [Zapier](https://www.capterra.com/p/130182/Zapier/) Reason for choosing n8n.io Lo elegi por ser un proyecto open source y al no tener mucho volumen de trabajo es gratuito Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Statistical Programming contractor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My favorite workflow automation and integration tool" April 21, 2022 5.0 I'm using n8n for almost a year and it became my absolute favorite workflow automation and integration tool. It allows me to rapidly build workflows via no-code nodes, however, I'm also able to provide JavaScript snippets and customize the tool, i.e. install additional services in the Docker container Pros As a programmer I like that n8n gives an opportunity to host the tool on my VPS, extend it and write custom JS code. Cons Even thought there are hundreds of integrations already, n8n still has significantly less integrations compared to some other commercial tools. This can be partially resolved with the HTTP request node.

Finishing Editor Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The most flexible software for no-code or low-code automation, if you've got the time or experience" July 21, 2023 4.0 n8n has been an overall good experience and has allowed me to create just the workflows I want that update as frequently as I want. It does require more time to set up, especially if you are building your own, but that can pay off in flexibility in the future. Pros I like how many different ways there are to utilize n8n across devices. There is the paid cloud version, that you can depend on to just work, or you can build your own as it is open source software. I'm not a professional programmer, but I've been able to use a little code to customize workflows that weren't possible with a locked-down service like Zapier. Cons I'm saddened that the desktop version of n8n is being sunset, as that is what got me started on the software and can be really powerful for a single user. The features of some integrations aren't as full as competitors like Make.com. If you have some time or API background, you can create a custom node to get around most limitations.
