The cloud version of N8N costs $27 per month and has limited executions and workflows.
The self-hosted version costs way less with unlimited runs and workflows.
In the past I struggled with technical things like launching web apps until someone showed me how easy it is.
Self-hosting N8N is exactly the same. It may sound complicated and technical, until you watch a video and see that you literally just have to click a few buttons.
After you make the leap and start running your own self-hosted N8N, you can start automating to your heart's content. You can build an AI agent in a few clicks. The possibilities are endless.
P.S. You'll still need to pay for API costs like OpenAI API keys either way.
