Hey everyone 👋
I found a way to host n8n for free using a platform called run.claw.cloud, and I’ve personally tested it — it works. You can deploy n8n instantly without paying upfront.
🚀 How It Works
You can sign up using:
💰 Credits Breakdown
🟢 First-Time Bonus – $5 Credit
- GitHub users: Your GitHub account must be at least 7 days old
- Gmail users: No special requirement
🔁 Recurring Monthly Bonus – $5 Credit
You can unlock recurring $5/month credits by:
- Linking your GitHub account
- Your GitHub account must be 180+ days old
📦 Deploying n8n
After signing up:
- Go to the App Store
- Search for n8n
- Click deploy
That’s it.
Hosting cost is around:
- $0.14 per day
- ≈ $4.20 per month
So the $5 credit covers it fully.
If you have a 6+ month old GitHub account, you can keep getting $5/month — meaning you may not need to pay at all.
⚠️ Honest Feedback
- I’ve tested it and it works.
- There are occasional small issues.
- Not ideal for mission-critical production.
- But perfect for learning, testing, or running small workflows without paying.
